Live Off the Grid, Connect with Nature: 7.5 Acre Catskills Oasis with State Land Access

What a great site! Perfect size parcel at 7.5 acres, it is big enough to enjoy your privacy and still manageable.   And with CRYSTAL LAKE WILD FOREST is directly across your rural country road, you’ll have an additional 500 acres of State Land to explore and enjoy.  Hiking, biking, camping, hunting, boating, and just about any other outdoor activity is allowable in this year-round primitive area.  Crystal Lake itself is a 32 acre man-made lake for boating (non-powered only) and fishing.

Here is a link to the NY State website for Crystal Lake Wild Forest.

This parcel is almost exactly 2 hours from the George Washington Bridge (2 hours and 3 minutes according to Google Maps).  This parcel lies in the high country of the Sullivan Catskills in the town of Fremont.

NOTE: In the video I say the property slopes up about 160′ from street to back which is wrong.  It slopes up from 1560′ at the lowest corner by the street to 1650′ at the opposite rear corner so the total slope is only 90′ or so.  You can see this on the map if you turn on Contour Lines.
