About 37 John Bishop Rd
Exclusive Bethel Hideaway- Welcome to 37 John Bishop Road, where an amazing opportunity to purchase a spectacular 101.93-acre parcel awaits. The property features a newly built three-bedroom lakefront container house, an additional lakefront container house that is about halfway complete, and a third lakefront foundation waiting to be built upon. With acres of woods, a beautiful lake, a stream, and multiple dwellings already on-site, there is so much potential here. The property is located in the Rural Development District (RD) which allows for Summer camps, Campgrounds, RV Parks, Mobile Home Parks, Motels, and Agricultural uses. The location cannot be beat, this is prime Sullivan County! Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, White Lake/Kauneonga Lake, and the Sullivan County Airport are all just minutes away. The charming hamlet of Kauneonga Lake with its cute shops (including hotspots such as Benji & Jakes, Sticky Fingers Delectables, The Local Table & Tap, & Sorella Pizza) Farmer’s Markets, and lakefront park is right up the road. Although a world apart, the GWB is just 90 miles away. The lot is situated on both sides of John Bishop Road. One side features most of Bishops Pond, a peaceful and serene, 10-acre lake with a waterfall. There is a luxurious lakefront 960sf container house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms that was previously operated as a five-star rental on Airbnb. The house features four ductless mini splits and an electric fireplace. The spacious kitchen has stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and ceramic tile backsplash. The tiled bathrooms offer showers with natural riverstone and slate, as well as rainfall showerheads. There is an additional container house that will need to be completed, as well as a third foundation ready for a house. All three sites are connected to a 9-bathroom certified septic system and get water from an on-site well. Besides these three sites that sit on a large clearing, there are acres of woods with potential for development, on both sides of the lake. The other side of the lake is completely raw land, a pristine forest teeming with flora and fauna. The other side of the road comprises about 58 acres, mostly wooded, with sparkling Judson Brook running through it. A long stone road has been put in, leading way back to a bunch of perfectly situated campsites. Completely hidden away from the road, each site was carefully chosen to provide privacy and proximity to the stream. Buyers can use this road as the starting point to plan an exclusive development near the best that Sullivan County has to offer. Whether you are looking for a site to build an estate, start a campground business, build a housing development or mobile home park, or just enjoy what’s already here and get away from it all, 37 John Bishop Road is the 100+ acre site you have been dreaming about. Come explore the endless opportunities that await.
