Nearly 8 wooded acres, set far back from the road in one of the Hudson Valley's most quietly coveted corners. This shovel ready parcel in High Falls, near the Accord line, offers the kind of privacy and seclusion that can be difficult to find without venturing farther from the places you actually want to be. A long shared driveway will lead through the trees toward the rear of the property, placing the future homesite well away from the main road. The first half of that shared driveway has already been roughed in, providing a meaningful head start toward establishing access. Complete with approval for a four-bedroom septic system, the property offers a strong foundation for creating a refined country home, modern woodland retreat, or relaxed full-time residence surrounded by nature. The land is characterized by mature trees, old stone walls, and predominantly level terrain. With almost eight acres to work with, there is room to thoughtfully position a home for privacy, create outdoor living areas and woodland paths, and preserve a generous natural buffer in every direction. It feels secluded, but not isolated, offering genuine breathing room while keeping the best of Ulster County close at hand. This pocket of High Falls has long appealed to those drawn to its conserved landscapes, low-key atmosphere, and exceptional access to the outdoors. Deep Hole and Split Rock, two of the area's most beloved wild swimming spots, are just a short drive away. Beyond them are the thousands of protected acres, trails, lakes, and dramatic ridge landscapes of Mohonk Preserve and Minnewaska State Park, along with miles of nearby rail trails for walking and cycling. The surrounding Clove Valley is prized for its natural beauty and proximity to preserved land, offering a welcome sense that the landscape will remain part of the experience for years to come. Inness, Arrowood Farms, Kelder's Farm, and an ever-growing collection of farm markets, restaurants, and design destinations are all nearby. New Paltz, Stone Ridge, Gardiner, and Rosendale are within easy reach, with Kingston, Woodstock, and Saugerties close enough for effortless day trips. For buyers looking to build something personal and private, this is a rare combination: almost eight acres, a deeply set-back setting, septic approval, partially established access, and a location that places the very best of the Hudson Valley within reach.
