Hillside Hideaway: Olive, NY

 
 

About The Property

At the very end of a quiet, dead-end road sits this 9.7 acre parcel in the low-tax town of Olive. Adjacent to protected “forever wild” New York State Land, and already divided into two lots, the first lot (5.9 acres) has full access to Dry Book, a tributary to the Ashokan Reservoir which is only 2 miles down the road. This lot has the potential to host your dream home above the river and create stunning Wittenberg and Samuel’s Point Mountain views by opening up views to the North West.

The second lot (3.8 acres) would be the perfect place for second structure, like a guest home or studio, and features mossy terrain and beautiful greenery. Walk through the woods to your outdoor office, and enjoy direct access to New York State Land on your lunch break. Or just keep it wild and carve out your own trails for weekend recreation. Mountain views could also be possible here. 

1hr 50mins from the George Washington Bridge, and 2hr 10min from the Kosciuszko Bridge, this is the perfect weekend property or potential forever home with quick access to the city. 

Electric on road at the entrance of the lot. Hillside Dr is a short drive to Marty’s Mercantile, and the Town of Olive Lester S Davis Park (5 mins). Grab brunch at the Phoenicia Diner (16 mins), or go for a dip at Peekamoose Blue Hole and hike in the Sundown Wild Forest (18 mins) via Watson Hollow Road. Hudson Valley hotspots like Westwind Orchard, Arrowood Brewery, and StoneHill’s Farmhouse (30 mins) are an easy trip, while your Woodstock favorites like SILVIA and Bread Alone (25 mins) are an easy and beautiful drive around the reservoir.
