Vacant Land Lot Parcel 3 Of A 1800's Era Farm

457 Drake Hill Rd, Lot#WP003 Freehold, NY 12431

Description

Located along a quiet stretch of Drake Hill Road in Greene County, this 13.01± acre parcel offers a prime opportunity to build in a peaceful, rural setting while maintaining easy access to nearby towns and amenities. With a blend of open field, mature woods, and natural features, this property presents a well-balanced landscape suited for a variety of uses, including residential, recreational, or light agricultural pursuits.

The property features approximately one acre of open field with road frontage, providing an ideal location for a future homesite. Set slightly back from the road, this open area offers a welcoming entry point and a practical starting point for development. Beyond the field, the land transitions into roughly twelve acres of mature woodland, creating a sense of privacy and separation from neighboring properties.

The wooded portion of the property is made up of a diverse mix of hardwoods and softwoods, including white oak, red oak, shagbark hickory, maple, hemlock, and pine. This variety of tree species contributes to both the visual appeal and the ecological diversity of the land. Scattered throughout the woods are beautiful historic stone walls, a reminder of the property's past as part of an 1800s-era sheep farm, adding character and a connection to the area's agricultural history.

A small creek runs along the edge of the property, providing a natural water feature that enhances both the landscape and the habitat for local wildlife. The land shows consistent signs of deer activity, including trails and movement corridors, and bear have been observed in the area as well. The combination of hardwood mast production and softwood cover creates an attractive environment for wildlife, making this property appealing for those interested in hunting or simply enjoying nature.

The terrain is mostly flat with slight rolling contours as you move through the wooded section, making it both usable and easy to navigate. Existing trails extend from the field into the woods, allowing for immediate access throughout the property and offering a foundation for future expansion or improvement.

With approximately 675 feet of road frontage along Drake Hill Road and electric available at the road, the property is well-positioned for future development. It is considered buildable, offering buyers the flexibility to design and create a home or getaway that fits their vision.

Whether you're looking to establish a country residence, a weekend retreat, or a property with room for light agricultural use, this parcel provides an open canvas to work from.

An added benefit is the opportunity to expand, as this property can be purchased individually or in combination with two additional adjoining listings, creating a larger offering totaling 60.99± acres.

Conveniently located within driving distance to Albany, Hudson, Catskill, and popular destinations such as Windham and Hunter Mountain, the property offers both seclusion and accessibility. Thunderhart Golf Course is located just minutes away, adding to the appeal for those looking to enjoy both outdoor recreation and nearby amenities. This is a strong opportunity for buyers seeking a buildable piece of land with natural character, usable acreage, and long-term potential in the heart of Greene County.
