Exceptional 450-Acre Development Opportunity in Ulster County
This rare 450-acre offering in the scenic Town of Hurley presents a unique chance to shape the future of one of Ulster County's most desirable landscapes. Located just five minutes from Uptown Kingston, the property spans 14 contiguous parcels.
This combination of scale, accessibility, and natural beauty creates an unparalleled opportunity for visionary developers, conservation groups, or private estate planners seeking to create something extraordinary. The land is lightly forested and well-suited for eco-conscious development that integrates harmoniously with the natural environment.
Development Potential & Recreational Access
Primary access is established through a 39-acre parcel featuring a wide existing curb cut that leads directly into the heart of the property.
An existing home on this parcel could serve as a central headquarters during the development phase.
On the property's far side, the acreage extends an impressive 3,000 feet along the State Route 209 Rail Trail, with direct access available.
This increasingly popular recreational trail welcomes hikers, bikers, and outdoor enthusiasts, connecting the property seamlessly to the broader Ulster County landscape.
