170 Lawrence Hill, Accord, NY

About 170 Lawrence Hill

Properties like this simply don't come around very often. For a buyer looking for the ultimate level of privacy, this is a rare opportunity to own a nature preserve at the end of a dead end road in Accord. With 1/2 mile of Peters Kill river frontage you’ll have exclusive access to multiple swimming holes and water falls. Miles of hiking trails weave their way along the river, through fields of ferns, deep woods and various rock outcroppings and directly into both Minnewaska State Park and the Mohonk Preserve. Surrounded by thousands of acres of forever wild lands you'll never have to worry about any development other than what you choose to do on the 45+ acres. Due to its remoteness, abundant wildlife of all shapes and sizes is part of the daily experience. A very productive fruit orchard provides apples, pears, peaches and blueberries and a large vegetable garden produces a healthy volume of seasonal vegetables. The adjacent barn and machine shed can be used for farming purposes or can be repurposed for an alternative use. The 3BD/2BA solidly-built barn style home sits perched on a hill overlooking the forest and river below. With some renovations/updates, it could serve as a primary residence or a guest house for someone that wants to build a separate primary residence. The most obvious homesite has spectacular views of the Catskills. While it may feel like you're at the end of the world, it's just a few minutes to the town of Accord where you'll find the Accord Market, Saunderskill, Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Brewery and Inness.
