377-Acre farmland preservation project

102 Radio Tower Road features a new architecturally distinctive 850-square-foot one bedroom guest house and a cleared site for a 2000 square foot main-house. The guest house is ready for immediate occupancy. The main house has been sited to maximize the property’s extraordinary setting and long-range views. Water, septic, driveways, electricity, and cable are installed for both the guest house and the main house site. Architectural drawings are 70% complete for the main house; its shovel-ready and can be constructed while you enjoy occupancy in the guest house.

102 Radio Tower Road is located adjacent to a farmland preservation and conservation project in the highly desirable Beechwoods farming area. The farmland preservation and conservation project consists of 377 acres of land that has been in family farming since the 1860’s and is continuing as the Herbert Farm, only the third family since the 1860’s to farm the land.

The Beechwoods, 102 Radio Tower Road and the farm project are set across remarkable acreage in the Catskills, defined by sweeping protected views, hill tops, open meadows, mature woodland, pristine ponds, and miles of trails disappearing into the landscape. The farm preservation project includes three existing houses, including the working dairy farm with barns and out-buildings, 102 Radio Tower Road, and the original farmhouse on Gorr Road. There can be up to a maximum of four additional home sites in the conservation area, sited to not impact the working farm and offer both privacy and views.

The guest house is 850 square feet and includes Marvin windows, radiant heat, a roof deck, custom millwork, fixtures by Coil and Drift and Ravenshill and other custom elements. The roof deck is accessible from a custom steel stair leading to hundred-mile views. Future Expansions, Brooklyn, New York is the architect of 102 Radio Tower Road, both guest house and main house.

The main house is a distinctive three-bedroom, two-bath house with distant views across the landscape. It faces into the west winds and has been designed as windbreak so that a grassy protected area is on the eastern side of the house.

The open spaces of the farmland preservation project create great views and offer hunting, fishing, walking, hiking, cross-country skiing, swimmable ponds, and a sauna tucked into the landscape. The vision is simple: architecture belongs to the landscape, is tucked into limited private areas that preserve the farmland and enjoy the sweeping views across a working farm and into the horizon.

The setting offers space, beauty, privacy, in a hilltop landscape that is unique in the Catskills. 102 Radio Tower Road, including the main house site and the existing guest house is a one-of-a-kind site and house, commanding extraordinary views, directly adjacent to preserved farmland and a short hike up the hill to a hilltop with distant views of New York and Pennsylvania.
