Property details
About 274 Swartekill Rd
If you have been looking for that beautifully wooded and secluded parcel of land to build your home in the country, look no further. Located on Swarte Kill Road, one of the most quiet and picturesque rural roads in the Town of Esopus, you'll find 12.81 acres of pristine conifer and hardwood Forest, which is largely bounded by stunning hand laid stone walls. The property is accessed by an old road flanked by stone walls on each side that gently rises into the property and runs north along the length of the property's eastern border (see survey). Once you are past the eastern boundary, the property opens up to the north and west and ascends three moderately sloped terraces and plateaus, which offer multiple private homes sites as you make your way to the top of the property. There is also a large interior stone wall that runs from east to west up the middle of the property as well as a few rugged natural stone out crops. This property not only offers privacy and seclusion, but also the convenience of being just 15 minutes from the Historic Kingston waterfront and the hip bustle of Main St New Paltz and is only 25 minutes from the Metro-North station in Poughkeepsie.
