171 Acres Ulster County Recreational Land & Building Potential

171+/- acres of Catskill Mountain forest located in the quiet, rural hamlet of Greenfield Park, in the Town of Wawarsing.Under 2 hours from Midtown Manhattan. Perfectly situated on both Cranberry and Lucks roads, offering ample frontage on both roads, and presenting the potential for further subdivision. Known as Joyful Acres Farm, this property is rich with history, reported to be the site of an old hotel in the early 19th century and the home site for the family in the past. This area is framed by a beautiful historic stone wall, and the foundation, old gate, walkway, and two wells remain on the property. Whether you are looking to build that dream home, vacation getaway, family compound, or hunting camp, the potential is here. Gentle terrain, coupled with large road frontage and electricity available on both roads, offers many potential building locations for you to choose from. Entering the property on Cranberry Road, there is an easement that leads through the land to a neighboring property in Mountaindale. The road is approximately 3,100' long and gives access to a well-laid-out trail system that meanders throughout the property. One of the first trails that you will see will lead to the north to a +/- 1acre clearing where there is a small Christmas tree farm. The next owner can take this to the next level or just enjoy family Christmas trees for years to come. There are over 1.6 miles of trails on the property, giving access to most areas by UTV/ ATV. These trails offer opportunities for hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, Mountain biking, and more. The trails are a result of logging; the property has been selectively logged from 2016 to 2024. This has opened the tree canopy, allowing light to the forest floor, promoting new growth and creating habitat and food for many wildlife species. Not to mention increasing the overall health and vitality of the forest for years to come. The terrain is gentle and has an elevation change of +/- 180' throughout. The eastern corner of the property is the lowest elevation on the property. Here you will find frontage on Braden Brook. This area creates a unique ecosystem of its own. This large acre tract is perfect for home steading, hobby farms, self-sustainability, and a hunting camp of your or your club's dreams. The sheer size of this property will allow you to support multiple hunters, or keep it to yourself, or try your hand at managing the habitat and forest to support a healthy deer herd for your enjoyment to come for multiple generations.
