About this land

Set at the very end of a dead-end road in Pleasant Valley, this proposed 16.95± acre wooded lot delivers the kind of quiet that is hard to find this close to everything. A positive perc test has already been completed, the curb cut is already in place, the building site is elevated and flat, and mature hardwoods surround it. Board of Health approval is the next step, and the lot is offered subject to final approval of the pending lot line revision. The land is wooded with mature white oak, red oak, maple and hickory. The proposed building location sits in open hardwoods, reached by a very gentle rise from the road, with stone walls running along the right side and rear of the site for character. Behind the building site the ground drops slightly, then rises into rolling wooded terrain that includes a short, steeper section. A creek runs through the lower portion of the property, and mapped wetlands near the entrance and wet areas toward the back add wildlife diversity. Larger parcels of land lie around the property, and the 113± acre parcel directly to the rear is protected by a Dutchess Land Conservancy conservation easement, a buffer that adds to the sense of space and keeps the back line quiet. Access is from the end of Barkit Kennel Road, about 0.9 miles off Route 44, and the curb cut for the lot is already in place. Because the property sits at the very back of the road, there is no through traffic. Wildlife sign observed on the walk includes extensive deer activity and turkey, with abundant browse and white oak saplings toward the rear. That makes the lot a natural fit for a small hunting property, a weekend retreat, or a private country homesite, subject to required approvals. Area Attractions: The hamlet of Pleasant Valley is about 5 minutes away, and the Taconic State Parkway is close by for quick north and south travel. Millbrook is about 10 to 12 minutes, Rhinebeck about 30 minutes, the Metro-North Harlem Line at Dover Plains about 22 minutes, and Stewart International Airport about 45 minutes. Grand Central Terminal is roughly 1 hour 50 minutes by car and Albany about 1 hour 15 minutes. Drive times are approximate and were checked on Google Maps on October 26, 2026. Showings are by appointment only and must be accompanied by a New York State licensed real estate salesperson. Buyers should verify acreage, boundaries, approvals, zoning and all other details to their own satisfaction.

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.
