About this land
Tucked along a quiet, seasonally maintained gravel road in the Albany County countryside, this 59.5± acre property offers an impressive combination of privacy, diverse wildlife habitat, recreational opportunity, and potential future development. Located on Roney Road in Preston Hollow, the property feels remarkably secluded while maintaining convenient access to Route 145 and the surrounding communities of Preston Hollow, Rensselaerville, Durham, South Berne, and Livingstonville. This is one of those properties that simply feels larger than its surveyed acreage. The changing topography, habitat transitions, wooded ridges, openings, and internal road system continually reveal new sections of the property as you explore. Approximately 955± feet of frontage along Roney Road provides substantial access, while old logging roads extend throughout the acreage. With some clearing and maintenance, these existing routes could once again provide excellent access for ATVs, hunting, property management, and general recreation. The terrain transitions from relatively flat and gently rolling ground near the road to higher elevations toward the rear of the property, where selective clearing may open up potential views. Several possible building or campsite locations can be found throughout the acreage, with development subject to a successful perc test and applicable municipal and Board of Health approvals. Habitat diversity is one of the property's defining characteristics. The forest contains an impressive mix of hardwood and softwood species, including red and white oak, hickory, cherry, maple, birch, beech, aspen, elm, pine, spruce, and hemlock. Previous timber activity has opened portions of the canopy, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and encourage native grasses, forbs, saplings, and other natural browse. These regenerating areas provide valuable forage and bedding cover for whitetail deer while also creating excellent brooding habitat for wild turkey. Approximately 3± acres of established meadows toward the rear of the property add another important layer of habitat and provide ready-made opportunities for wildlife openings or future food plots. Seasonal creeks and spring seeps provide additional water resources, while historic stone walls create both character and additional habitat edges throughout the landscape. Whitetail bucks have been observed firsthand on the property, along with abundant deer, turkey, and bear sign, and grouse have also been encountered. Several older hunting blinds and shoot houses remain on the land. For long-term land ownership, the property's forest composition may also offer future timber potential as desirable species continue to mature. Combined with the existing access network, recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, and potential homesites, the property offers multiple avenues for continued enjoyment and management. Area Attractions The surrounding area offers exceptional access to outdoor recreation. Nearby public lands include Rensselaerville State Forest, Dutton Ridge State Forest, Scott Patent State Forest, and Stone Store State Forest. DEC records identify Rensselaerville State Forest at approximately 2,604 acres, Scott Patent at approximately 1,432 acres, and Dutton Ridge at approximately 1,246 acres. Catskill Creek provides nearby fishing opportunities, while the northern Catskills offer additional hiking, fishing, hunting, and four-season recreation. Windham Mountain Club provides skiing and year-round mountain recreation, with 54 trails and a summit elevation of approximately 3,100 feet. The adjoining Windham golf course offers an 18-hole, par-72 layout surrounded by Catskill Mountain scenery. Whether used for hunting, ATV riding, camping, wildlife management, a future country retreat, or simply as a sizable landholding within reach of the Capital Region and New York City, this property provides an increasingly difficult-to-find combination of acreage, privacy, access, and habitat diversity.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
