This listing is for the illustrated . 74 acre property, which has a pre-existing "footprint" for future construction of a new home. This is because the 1220 square foot residential home on the property is almost certainly a "tear down". But the advantage of the property in having that footprint is obvious: Building in this area is very difficult otherwise, due to minimum acreage requirements and other zoning constraints. Anyone interested in building on this property is advised to consider the costs of tear down and removal of the house, and the contents of the house and property. The house is located on is a nice level area of the property, which once (before being overgrown) had views of the valley of Lake Peekskill, and of the Lake itself. It is down from the road and parking area, but the previous owner had hoped to restore the house and add a second story, which would have allowed a connecting walkway closer to the road. Of course this may be possible to do with any new construction on the footprint. This may be an excellent opportunity for the right person to create a unique home in this area, and to generate equity for themselves by thinking out of the box.
Lake Peekskill, located between Peekskill Hollow Road and the Taconic State Parkway corridor, is a lakeside and wooded Putnam Valley neighborhood with a private-lake shoreline and winding hillside roads. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Lake Peekskill Community Center by the water, where seasonal gatherings and a low-key, outdoors-first rhythm set the tone. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century cabins, updated lake cottages, and contemporary rebuilds tucked into the trees. Lake Peekskill Beach and the surrounding shoreline define daily routines with swimming, paddling, and sunset walks. Nearby, Fahnestock State Park adds trail networks and reservoir views that keep the landscape feeling expansive. A short drive to the hamlet center brings local staples like the Putnam Valley Town Park and the Putnam Valley Library for community programming.
