2823 New York 52 Pine Bush, NY 12566

Exceptional 11.9-Acre Development Opportunity in the Heart of Pine Bush - Prime Highway Frontage with Water Access and Existing Infrastructure.

Welcome to 2823 NY Route 52 - a rare, high-impact parcel offering nearly 12 acres of gently sloping, partially cleared land with flexible RAG-2 zoning, significant highway frontage, and direct river access with dock and boat rights. Located just 90 minutes from NYC and positioned at the gateway between the Hudson Valley and Catskills, this property offers the ideal setting for commercial, residential, or mixed-use development. Its location along a well-traveled stretch of NY-52, just outside the bustling hamlet of Pine Bush, provides unmatched visibility and strategic value for investors, developers, and end users alike.

The property includes a 2,124 sq ft farmhouse built circa 1770 with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths — ideal for use as a rental, short-term rental anchor, residence, or project staging HQ. Additional improvements include a 37'x64' pole barn with utility connections (perfect for storage, workshops, events, or commercial retrofit) and a detached 21'x24' garage. Electric service is on site. Private well and septic are installed. The parcel is outside any floodplain and not within an agricultural district.

Zoning (RAG-2) allows for a wide range of uses by right or with site plan approval, including single-family homes, religious or community structures, farm retail, campground or outdoor lodging setups, and low-density clustered development. For those with vision and appropriate board approvals, the property also holds strong potential for boutique hospitality, glamping resorts, event venues, nature-based STR campuses, or farm-to-table agri-tourism ventures that increasingly define the Ulster-Orange-Sullivan corridor.

Tourism and second-home demand continue to rise in this region, as remote workers, investors, and buyers flock to experience the area's charm and recreational appeal. The site sits just minutes from wineries, trail systems, parks, and the popular Pine Bush UFO Fair - drawing both steady visitor traffic and long-term economic upside.
