60 Acres. 3,000+ Feet of Road Frontage. A Developer's Dream in New Paltz. A rare, large-scale development opportunity just outside the Village of New Paltz. This 60-acre parcel offers an exceptional of 3,000+ feet of road frontage, more than 3/4 of a mile, giving developers outstanding flexibility for lot layout, multiple access points, and phased buildout. Zoned R1-Residential, the site is well-suited for a multi-lot subdivision in one of the Hudson Valley's most in-demand markets. Location is everything, and this parcel delivers. Sitting right at the doorstep of the Village of New Paltz, future residents get proximity to shops, restaurants, and SUNY New Paltz, while easy access to the NYS Thruway (I-87) and nearby Metro-North rail service keeps commuters connected to New York City. That combination of village proximity and commuter access is a strong draw for buyer demand in any subdivision plan. The surrounding area's appeal to outdoor and lifestyle buyers (Shawangunk Ridge, Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska State Park, and the region's wineries and farm-to-table dining) adds further upside for a residential development, while the scale and frontage of the site also leave room for a single legacy estate or private compound if a developer prefers a lower-density plan. With electric service available in the area and significant road frontage to work with, this is a rare chance to shape a substantial piece of New Paltz from the ground up. Bring your site plan and your vision.
