Rare 79-Acre Family-Owned Catskills Estate with Pond, Barn, Wildlife Habitat & Endless Potential Welcome to a hidden gem in the heart of the Catskills—79 pristine acres of natural beauty, diverse terrain, and unmatched opportunity. This exceptional property comprises two contiguous parcels—29 acres... (SBL# 26.-1-45) in the Town of Delaware and 50 acres (SBL# 2.-1-19) in the Town of Cochecton—and has been family-owned, thoughtfully maintained, and responsibly hunted for over 68 years. Nature lovers and sportsmen alike will be drawn to the property's unique features: a spring-fed pond, logging roads that offer excellent access throughout, and a thriving forest ecosystem. The woods include mast-producing hardwoods such as oak, along with several apple trees—a natural draw for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. The forest has been well-managed, and the healthy understory provides abundant food and cover, creating ideal habitat for hunting and wildlife viewing. Two hunting blinds are already in place, and the tiered topography—with wooded slopes, open level areas, and rocky outcroppings—offers multiple sites with panoramic potential for mountain and valley views. This is an ideal setting for a recreation or hunting compound, a private estate, or even a family retreat with multiple homes. A small barn with 100-amp underground electric service is already in place—perfect for storage, a workshop, or future development. The property also boasts over 2,675 feet of road frontage on quiet New Turnpike Road, making it attractive for subdivision or strategic site planning.
