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.
