Come build your dream home on one of the very few waterfront parcels on the Rio Reservoir, a protected and pristine 422 acre body of water. A large boulder on the shore makes a perfect spot for an idyllic afternoon swimming in its clear and refreshing water. The vista from the shore will never change, it is protected a DEC bald eagle conservation. Paddle across the reservoir to find a beautiful waterfall.

The 4.39 acre lot has a gentle slope off the road with a driveway already in place and a pretty perfect build site. Electric and internet can easily be pulled to the property from nearby utility poles. Two huge, age-wisened maple trees welcome a visitor, and pine, hawthorn, green apple and hickory trees are found lining the lovely open meadow. The two sheds are grandfathered and two more structures may be built per local code.Old stone walls on the property are romantic relics of the Drake Hotel, a rooming house in the late 1800s. There is an existing well on the property that could very likely be serviced and brought back to life. Located in Forestburgh, NY, just a 2 hour drive to the George Washington Bridge, near some of the best darn pizza in the area, Forage Pizza. There is a convenient NJ Transit train at Port Jervis just 20 minutes away. Bethel Woods Center for the Arts is a great venue for summer concerts and just 35 minutes away.
