Why This Lot is Awesome

This lot is awesome because it offers a beautiful onsite stream with frontage on the Plattekill creek. The tranquility of hearing the soothing sounds of a babbling, yet sometimes rushing mountain stream, and the sense of privacy, makes this Ulster County parcel a gem.

This is How We Would Build on This Lot

This project would begin by first developing an overall site plan to determine the benefits and potential challenges with the topography. The property offers the option to build near the stream or closer to the road. Once a building location is selected the process of creating access onto the property and to the building location can begin. A driving surface would need to be created by cutting down trees, moving out rocks and leveling out any steep slopes. The build location would also require some selective clearing to accommodate the foundation and septic system. A well would need to be installed as part of this ground work process. We would orient the new build to the south to get sun exposure throughout the day, in all seasons. We would recommend building a small trail system on this lot that connects to the rest of the property. Along this private trail system, we would recommend building an accessory dwelling unit, likely an off-grid guest cabin that could be situated near the stream.
