58 Emerald Lake Road, Delancey, NY 13752

Dream of owning an off-grid cabin in the woods? OR Searching for a buildable lot that’s partially developed? Look no further! Set in a peaceful mountain setting, easily accessed from a well-maintained public road, this unique 5 acre property affords privacy, tranquility, lake access just across the road, and home development potential. A custom-built, energy-efficient off-grid cabin offers a comfortable base for weekend escapes. A cleared site with views of an adjacent mountain provides an inviting setting for you to build your dream home in the Catskills. Much of the groundwork for a future home is already done: a gravel driveway, a cleared and level house site, drilled well, engineered drawings and NYCDEP approval for a three-bedroom residence septic system, plus electricity service is available for connection via nearby roadside utility pole. The cabin is thoughtfully designed, well-engineered, fully-insulated, and built to make the most of its natural surroundings. Large glazed windows on two sides and a glazed entry door bring the outdoors in, with peaceful woodland views in each direction. Solar panels and battery storage provide off-grid power, while a mini woodstove keeps the interior warm and cozy. Internet connection is available through existing Starlink equipment. Wall cabinets and practical furnishings make the single-room interior functional and inviting. A two-compartment composting toilet is located in a small shed built on the side of the cabin. At the cleared house site, a large circular wooden platform creates a special place to gather, unwind, and connect with the landscape. Currently furnished with a fire pit and chairs, it’s ideal for sunny afternoons, evenings under the stars, or can be used as a base for a large tent. Beyond the cabin, a trail leads into the woods. Magnificent evergreens and diverse woodland vegetation create a secluded, restorative setting, while a year-round creek that borders one side of the property contributes the soothing sound of constantly flowing water. Enjoy the simple pleasures of quiet moments in the woods and stargazing on clear nights. A common non-exclusive right to use nearby Emerald Lake conveys with ownership of the property, adding another appealing feature to your Catskills escape. Embrace a simpler lifestyle immersed in nature and enjoy this property as a ready-made off-grid getaway, or use it as your home base while planning and constructing a larger residence. Camping gear and furniture are included so you can start enjoying your mountain escape on day one. Convenient to Downsville (10 mins), Hamden (20 mins), Roscoe (25 mins), Delhi (30 mins), and recreational pursuits at nearby Pepacton Reservoir. 2 hours 15 minutes drive from the GWB.
