Discover a rare opportunity in the heart of New Paltz-144 S Ohioville Rd is a true gem for investors, homesteaders, and visionaries alike. Set on over 24 bucolic acres across two parcels, including a buildable 21.8-acre lot, this property offers unmatched privacy and lush views. The existing 3-bedroom, 2-bath farmhouse features a walkout basement, a cozy living room with fireplace, a spacious primary suite with en-suite bath and walk-in closet, and two versatile loft spaces-perfect for home offices or creative retreats. With some updates and TLC, the home could be transformed into a charming residence or converted into a duplex-style setup for rental income or multigenerational living. What truly sets this property apart is its legacy: Sunhill Farm operated as a certified organic farm for over 20 years under the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York (NOFA-NY), cultivating seasonal produce like corn, tomatoes, pumpkins, and asparagus for neighbors and local restaurants. The land remains fertile, serene, and rich with potential for future agricultural use or eco-conscious development. The property is home to the headwaters of the seasonal Swartekill Creek, meandering through a wildlife-rich landscape frequented by wildlife and a vibrant bird population-including nesting Purple Martins. Birdhouses and trails dot the wooded acreage, offering a peaceful connection to nature. Beneath it all lies the Ohioville Aquifer, a vital underground water source held in reserve by the Town of New Paltz. Enjoy the best of both worlds-secluded country living just minutes from the village, parks, shops, trails, and iconic hiking destinations. Ideal for commuters, the location offers quick access to I-87. Metro-North's Poughkeepsie station is just 20 minutes away across the Hudson.
