The Ridge on 214
126 Acres of Untapped Catskill Potential
Hidden in the heart of the Catskills and minutes from Hunter Mountain, this is a rare opportunity to own 126 acres of private, buildable land in one of the most sought after four season destinations in New York.
A long approach off Route 214 leads into a landscape defined by rolling elevation, natural streams, and complete privacy. As you move deeper into the property, the outside world disappears. What remains is a setting that feels untouched, expansive, and full of possibility.
Multiple streams flow throughout the land, creating natural divisions and moments of stillness. A private swimming hole offers a defining feature that captures the essence of the Catskills lifestyle. The terrain rises to elevated vantage points, where sweeping mountain views begin to open up.
This is not just acreage. This is a foundation for something far greater.
Adding to the value and flexibility of the property is an existing residence already in place. The home offers immediate usability, whether as a full time residence, weekend escape, or a base while designing and building your dream estate or development. It allows you to enjoy the land from day one while thoughtfully planning what comes next.
The property has already been carefully envisioned for future use. Internal roadways have been mapped throughout portions of the land, creating a framework for access and expansion across the acreage. Two prime build sites have been cleared, including a mountaintop location positioned for a signature residence or central lodge. This upper site was originally intended for a dream estate, carefully placed to take advantage of the surrounding views and natural setting.
For developers and investors, the opportunity here is compelling.
With the continued rise of high end short term rentals in the Catskills, this property is ideally suited for a private retreat concept or boutique rental collection. The land supports a layout of multiple luxury cabins or structures, each offering its own sense of privacy while being connected by a cohesive design. A central gathering space could anchor the experience, whether for retreats, events, or curated stays.
The proximity to Hunter Mountain places you directly in the path of year round demand. Winter brings a steady flow of skiers and snowboarders, while the warmer months attract visitors seeking hiking, nature, and escape from the city. This is a location that performs across all seasons.
Beyond development, the property also presents an incredible opportunity for a private estate or legacy compound. The scale, privacy, and natural features allow for a level of ownership that is increasingly difficult to find. Whether it is a personal retreat, a multi generational compound, or a combination of lifestyle and income producing assets, the possibilities here are expansive.
Large, contiguous parcels of this size, with water features, mapped access, and proximity to a major ski destination, are becoming increasingly scarce in the Catskills.
Opportunities like this are not easily replicated.
This is where vision meets scale.
