000 Route 52 Ellenville, NY 12428

Located in the foothills of the Catskills, this vacant land offers an opportunity for hunting and recreation. Situated on Route 52, it is minutes from Route 209 and the town of Ellenville. The property is separated from the road by the West Branch of the Beer Kill, making access challenging and only accessible by foot, requiring at least knee-high boots to walk through the water. A bridge will be required for any building project, and any bridge will require permitting through the NYS DEC. The elevation changes by approximately 380 feet. The parcel features a diverse forest consisting of oak, maple, birch, hemlock, white pine, and pockets of Rhododendron. Acorns have been spotted, providing a food source for deer and other wildlife. Older trails run east to west, providing easier walking and travel paths for deer. Deer sign is present throughout the property, and the current owner has had success with deer hunting. Rock walls, moss-covered boulders, and rock outcroppings add to the natural landscape. The southern end of the property has a softer elevation, making it easier to explore, with a heavier concentration of maple mixed with younger white pine. A smaller stream flows into the Beer Kill on the eastern side of the property. According to the deed, the acreage is 52 acres, but according to public records, it is 48.4 acres. A survey will have to be performed to determine the exact acreage.
