2823 State Route 52, Shawangunk, NY 12566

Description

Positioned within the Town of Shawangunk’s Route 52 Business Corridor (BC-52), this property offers exceptional flexibility for a wide range of uses including retail, office, and personal services. The zoning also supports mixed-use layouts that allow for both residential living and commercial use on the same property, creating the opportunity to live and operate your business in one location. Additional potential uses may include restaurants, hospitality, automotive, fitness, or recreational concepts, subject to approvals. The expansive acreage also supports agricultural and farming uses, adding another layer of versatility. Whether you are looking to establish a business, create a live-work environment, farm the land, or invest in a high-visibility location, this property delivers the foundation to do so.

Originally built in 1770, this 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom farmhouse offers the chance to reimagine a historic property with flexibility and fewer restrictions, as it is not part of a historical society. The home has been fully gutted, with major first-floor improvements already completed, including new electrical and framing, allowing you to move forward with your vision. There is also potential to expand beyond 3,000 square feet, offering additional flexibility for residential or mixed-use design.

Set on nearly 12 acres of gently sloping, partially cleared land, the property is nestled along the Shawangunk Kill, a tributary of the Wallkill River, providing a scenic natural setting while maintaining usability. Positioned along a well-traveled stretch of State Route 52, at the border of Ulster and Orange County and adjacent to the hamlet of Pine Bush, the property benefits from strong visibility and consistent traffic exposure.

The land, layout, and existing improvements make this property highly functional for a variety of uses. A large driveway and garage capacity for 10+ vehicles provide ample space for operations, storage, or equipment. Additional improvements include a 37' x 64' pole barn with utility connections, ideal for workshops, storage, events, or future commercial adaptation, along with a detached 21' x 24' garage. Electric service is on site, with private well and septic already installed.

Ulster County offers the added benefit of low property taxes, along with potential tax savings, incentives, and grant opportunities available through Ulster County and New York State for qualifying start-ups, business development, and redevelopment projects.

Located approximately 75 miles from NYC, the property provides accessibility while being surrounded by the natural beauty and attractions of the Hudson Valley, including Minnewaska State Park Preserve, Sam’s Point, local wineries, farm markets, and outdoor recreation.

A rare opportunity to combine flexibility, visibility, space, and long-term potential in one remarkable property.
