110 Windy Ridge Rd

Break ground on your alpine dream retreat today! With all approvals in place, the owner's in-house design and construction team can show you nearby projects. They envision a southeastern facing, one to 3 level rustic modern that will be built into the surrounding environment. The purchaser can also develop and build using their own team as well. Experience the peace and tranquility, proximity and privacy of this private location. There has been a considerable investment made into the 2.2 acres, raising the level of sophistication with aesthetic woodland and terrain accents that are reminiscent of walking through a manicured park. There is an oversized 6 vehicle, highly improved garage/shop. The coveted DEP septic design permitting has already been obtained, which is generally a 6-12 month endeavor before breaking ground. With selective thinning, the land management team, which is the owner's expertise, was able to capture unique mountain views, while preserving the future owner's privacy. White birches line either side of the gently winding driveway, as well as meticulously thinned evergreens, maples, and other deciduous species. In the southeastern corner, there is a lovely .5 acres evergreen glade, ending with two connecting stone walls at the corner of the property. It is an excellent spot for camping with family and friends, a hammock, fire pit, a tree fort. The opportunities are only limited to your imagination. Other substantial investments include a driveway and swales (water mitigation) to the prospective home site, well, underground electric, engineering, site grading and drainage, manicured woodlands and rebuilding parts of two distinct stone walls. One acts as the southern and eastern property boundary, while the other acts as an interior aesthetic wall. Additionally, there is a dynamic oversized shop/garage that can be used for a variety of functions. It offers 2 large automatic door openings (which can fit up to 6 vehicles), full insulation with a long lasting metal roof, board and baton siding, post and beam overhangs, electric and wood heating options, as well as partition walls to section off the multi-purpose building. In addition, there is a potential cost-savings/convenience option, if the shop was converted to a residential home. One could live there temporarily, while their home is being custom designed and built, or the structure has immense design flexibility to be repurposed as a residence. There are value added spatial features including The Windy Ridge dead end, private road with minimal neighbors; in addition, it is 5 minutes to the bustling town of Tannersville. Often times, buyers find it more suitable to be on the eastern side of the mountain, saving them up to 30-45 minutes of drive time if the home not past Hunter Mt. It is a 10 minute commute to both Hunter Mt. and North/South Lake State Park. Come explore this grand opportunity in "The Great Northern Catskills," as well as off-market opportunities nearby.
