Exceptional 450-Acre Development Opportunity in Ulster County, NY. 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. Five minutes from Uptown Kingston, the property spans 14 contiguous parcels, combining scale, accessibility, and natural beauty. It is 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 the natural environment. Primary access is through a 39-acre parcel with a wide existing curb cut leading directly into the heart of the property. An existing home on this parcel could serve as a central headquarters during development. On the far side, the acreage extends 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 to the broader Ulster County landscape.
All parcels are zoned R-1, allowing for a variety of residential uses. The property's scale and flexibility make it ideal for residential subdivisions, clustered housing, or conservation-focused projects that preserve the land's natural character.
The location is highly strategic. Just minutes from Kingston's vibrant historic district, Stone Ridge, and the Catskill Mountains, the property offers quick access to the NYS Thruway, Route 28, and Route 209. Its connectivity to the Hudson Valley, New York City, and Albany further enhances its long-term value.
This is one of the last remaining large land tracts of its kind in the region. It offers both immediate development potential and the security of long-term land banking, making it a truly exceptional investment opportunity.
