LAND - Putnam Valley, NY
Tucked into the southern hills of Putnam Valley, where winding roads give way to secret woods and sunlit meadows, lies Lot 14.1 Wiccopee Road-a rare and remarkable 17.4-acre parcel that whispers of peace, potential, and permanence. It's the kind of place that doesn't announce itself. There's no gate, no flashing sign. Just a gentle slope off the road, a gravel pull-off, and a quiet invitation to step into something bigger than yourself. And when you do, the land unfolds like a novel. A lightly wooded rise greets you first-oak, beech, and maple mingling overhead-filtering the light in golden strands. The air is different here: quieter, softer, clean in a way that makes you pause and breathe deeply without realizing it. Follow the trail cleared for soil testing and site access, and you'll come to a natural clearing nestled into the land's topography-a broad, gently rolling spot that has al...
Tucked into the southern hills of Putnam Valley, where winding roads give way to secret woods and sunlit meadows, lies Lot 14.1 Wiccopee Road-a rare and remarkable 17.4-acre parcel that whispers of peace, potential, and permanence. It's the kind of place that doesn't announce itself. There's no gate, no flashing sign. Just a gentle slope off the road, a gravel pull-off, and a quiet invitation to step into something bigger than yourself. And when you do, the land unfolds like a novel. A lightly wooded rise greets you first-oak, beech, and maple mingling overhead-filtering the light in golden strands. The air is different here: quieter, softer, clean in a way that makes you pause and breathe deeply without realizing it. Follow the trail cleared for soil testing and site access, and you'll come to a natural clearing nestled into the land's topography-a broad, gently rolling spot that has already earned its Board of Health Approval for a 5-bedroom home. This is no hypothetical vision or "someday, maybe" approval. The subdivision BOHA is in place, meaning the site has already passed the rigorous testing that ensures your plans to build a 5-bedroom home are real, actionable, and ready to move forward. The soil is proven. The space is staked. The future is already whispering. Whether you envision a modern farmhouse, a timber-frame retreat, or a minimalist glass-and-wood estate, the build site delivers the perfect canvas. There's enough open sky for solar panels or a wide back deck for stargazing. Morning sun greets the site naturally, and the slope allows for an easy walk-out basement or multi-level design. You can almost hear the swing of a screen door and the crunch of gravel as guests arrive. But what makes this property sing isn't just its approvals-it's the character of the land itself. To the west, the elevation drops slightly into a quiet glade, ideal for a future firepit, orchard, or just a hammock strung between trees. To the south, a low stone wall marks an old farm boundary, a nod to Putnam Valley's agrarian history and a rustic feature that could easily anchor landscaping or garden design. In spring, ferns and wildflowers blanket the forest floor; in fall, the canopy blazes with color. In every season, the lot remains secluded-no neighbors in sight, and yet just minutes from local amenities. Commuters and creatives alike will appreciate the convenience: less than 15 minutes to the Taconic State Parkway, under an hour to Manhattan, and surrounded by hiking trails, lakes, and town parks. Schools, shops, and services are all nearby, but the world feels far away when you're standing in the middle of this land. And if you're not ready to build right away? This is still an investment worth holding. Large parcels with subdivision BOHAs are exceedingly rare in Putnam Valley. With 17.4 acres and approved capacity for a 5-bedroom home, this property offers not only serenity, but long-term strategic value-whether as a primary residence, weekend retreat, or part of a future generational estate. Lot 14.1 Wiccopee Road isn't just land-it's land that's ready. Ready for building. Ready for dreaming. Ready for someone who doesn't just want a house in the country-but wants space to grow, room to breathe, and land with a story to tell. And now, it's ready for you.
