1618 County Rt. 8, Roxbury, NY

There is a reason America's most noted naturalist, John Burroughs always returned to his hometown of Roxbury (his famed home Woodchuck Lodge, a historic site is still there). Nestled in the corner of Delaware county, Roxbury's sky seems to stretch a bit bigger and bluer and its ponds reflect cleaner and sweeter. This perfect six acres with its own spring-fed freshwater pond and astounding views could be an idyllic spot to build your own country hideaway. There's already a driveway in place if you want to camp while you build. *** Recently perc-tested with septic plan in place.*** Just a jog up the mountain from Roxbury Country Club (tennis courts, swimming pool, playgrounds) and ten minutes from the blossoming towns of Margaretville and Fleischmans, this property gives you the tranquility you yearn for without requiring isolation. At the famous Round Barn Pakataken farmer's market local cheeses, meats and produce and crafts. Come winter you can ski or snowboard at either Belleayre (50 downhill trails!) or Plattekill both only fifteen minutes away.
