The owners of the property have decided to sell as part of their retirement strategy.  They believe the highest and best use of the property is a single-family retreat with attendant equestrian facilities… after all, access to the Minnewaska/Mohonk Carriageway and the finest horseback riding in the Eastern United States are a mere 200 paces away!  The equestrian community will understand the unique opportunity being offered as more and more acreage is lost for trail riding each year, this property, where equestrian access is guaranteed in perpetuity, can only increase in value. The Shawangunk Mountains are one and one-half hour’s drive from Manhattan, five hours from Boston or six hours from D.C.

Though the existing structure can be the basis for an enjoyable vacation cottage, it is the land itself that is the greatest treasure.  The property slopes to the South East with a series of relatively level plateaus.  The largest plateau is at the highest point on the site and it offers an excellent site for a significant, new home with upper story views of the Shawangunk ridge to the South-East, Skytop (the Mohonk Tower) and the Clove Valley to the North-East, the majestic cliffs that comprise The Dickie Barre to the North and Beacon Hill to the West. These views will appear as the paddock and exercise areas are cleared.
