About this property

An Extraordinary Hudson Valley Estate - Offered at Just $949,000! Some properties are simply places to live. Others are opportunities to create something truly extraordinary. Welcome to 495 Union School Road, where approximately 90 breathtaking acres, a magnificent custom-built log home nearing completion, and a remarkable personal story come together to create a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Nestled in the beautiful Hudson Valley, this expansive property stretches across two Orange County towns, with approximately 72 acres in the Town of Crawford and an additional 18 acres in the Town of Wallkill. From the moment you enter, you'll realize this is no ordinary property. A picturesque, tree-lined driveway winds through the landscape, crossing two handcrafted bridges before revealing the impressive nearly finished log home tucked away in its own private sanctuary. The approach alone creates a sense of tranquility, anticipation, and exclusivity that few properties can offer. A HOME BUILT WITH PASSION, PURPOSE & VISION At the heart of this extraordinary property stands a custom log home, lovingly designed and constructed by its owner with exceptional attention to detail. This was never intended to be just another house. It was envisioned as a dream home, a private retreat, and a lasting legacy. Unfortunately, life sometimes changes even the most carefully made plans. Following the loss of his beloved wife, the owner has made the difficult decision to offer this remarkable property for sale. His hope is simple: that someone will recognize the beauty, craftsmanship, and extraordinary potential of what he and his late wife envisioned together - and bring that dream to completion. 90 ACRES - IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES! With approximately 90 acres of beautiful Hudson Valley countryside, the opportunities are as expansive as the property itself. Imagine creating your own private family compound, an equestrian estate, a recreational retreat, or simply enjoying the extraordinary luxury of owning an expansive, secluded piece of the Hudson Valley. For those with an entrepreneurial vision, the acreage may also present opportunities for agricultural, recreational, or other permitted uses, subject to municipal approvals. Whether your dream is peaceful country living, a multigenerational family retreat, or a unique investment in substantial acreage, this property offers the space and inspiration to make it possible.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. 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.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.
