Wake up to mountain views, a quiet meadow, and your own stream flowing through 8.36 private acres in the Catskills. With a completed perc test, electric at the road, and a gravel driveway already installed, this property is ready for your cabin, dream home, or weekend retreat.
This unique offering includes two adjacent parcels totaling 8.36 acres located along Mayfly Lane in Jefferson, NY.
The property features a 3-acre meadow parcel with partial clearing (primary build site) and a 5.36-acre wooded parcel with a natural stream corridor (additional potential build site), creating a scenic and private setting.
A percolation test completed in May 2024 indicates strong soil conditions for future construction.
A newer gravel driveway is already installed, and electric is available at the road, making the property easier to develop.
The natural stream corridor runs through the lower portion of the property, with seasonal flow, adding character, privacy, and a peaceful landscape.
