A rare opportunity to build on the water in High Falls. This exceptional 5.8-acre residential parcel offers approximately 450 feet of creek frontage, direct Rondout Creek access, complete privacy, and the rare distinction of being outside the FEMA-designated flood zone. With no homes visible across the creek or surrounding the property, the setting feels wonderfully private while remaining walkable to the heart of High Falls.
Mostly level with a gentle slope to the water, the property features a roughed-out curved driveway leading to a potential building site with beautiful water views. Enjoy your own waterfront for swimming, fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the creek. Riparian rights into the creek allow you to walk down into the water directly from the property and enjoy.
The location is equally special. Walk to Ollie's Pizza, the High Falls Food Co-op, Blue Heron Books, Wired Gallery, Fool For Love, Curious Cat, the D&H Canal Museum, the canal towpath, and the falls. Stone Ridge and Rosendale are minutes away, with New Paltz and Kingston approximately 20 minutes away. Mohonk Preserve, Minnewaska, and the nearby rail trail provide endless opportunities for hiking, biking, and exploring. New York City is typically about a 90-minute drive to the GW Bridge.
The property was previously approved by the Ulster County Board of Health with a passed percolation test for a standard below-grade septic system. The owner will perform a fresh BOH percolation test once contracts are signed. Residentially zoned, Tax Lot 70.1-5-22, upper build area is NOT in a flood zone. Electricity is available right on the road for convenience.
Owner Kevin Evans, a well-regarded local builder, is available to consult with the buyer regarding construction pricing and a potential build package.
Private waterfront acreage, direct creek access, walkability to High Falls, and a potential homesite outside the flood zone make this an exceptionally rare Hudson Valley opportunity.
