Home Details for Route 22

Rarely does an opportunity to acquire more than 84 acres in such a convenient Pawling location become available. Set along Route 22 with approximately 900 feet of road frontage, this 84.28-acre parcel offers the space to create a private sanctuary, family compound, estate or recreational retreat. Approximately three acres are already cleared, with roughly 10 acres of level land near the front of the property before the terrain gradually rises from approximately 475 feet to an impressive 1,025-foot elevation. With thoughtful clearing, spectacular views may be possible from the higher elevations. The property is surrounded by a diverse variety of mature trees and offers potential for forestry, logging or a forestry exemption, while the expansive acreage provides an ideal setting for hiking, horseback riding, hunting, camping and other outdoor pursuits. The land directly backs up to the Pawling Nature Reserve, a remarkable 1,060-acre preserve featuring miles of hiking trails, mountains, fields, woods and ponds, with connections to the Appalachian Trail. The ability to enjoy this extraordinary protected landscape directly from your own property adds a rare dimension to the setting. The parcel also offers meaningful flexibility for future use, with potential for subdivision and a range of permitted uses including farming, forestry services, a stable and wildlife preserve. Special uses include private clubs, camps, farms, veterinary clinics, kennels, nurseries, nursing homes and riding academies, subject to applicable approvals and regulations. There are no wetlands or floodplain areas identified on the property, further enhancing its potential. Whether envisioned as a secluded country estate, multi-generational family compound, equestrian property, private retreat or investment for future development, this is an unusually large and versatile tract of land in the Hudson Valley. Yet despite its expansive and private character, the location is remarkably convenient. The quaint Village of Pawling is less than ten minutes away, offering boutique shops, fine dining, casual eateries, local amenities and the Pawling Metro-North train station, with approximately 90-minute train service to New York City. Large, contiguous parcels with this combination of acreage, elevation, natural resources, recreational access and convenience are increasingly difficult to find.
