6 Acres Above the Pepacton Reservoir — Andes, NY · Route 30 · Delaware County
Six surveyed acres of Catskill Mountain terrain perched above the Pepacton Reservoir, surrounded on approximately 90% of its perimeter by NYC DEP land — permanently protected, forever wild, and private . Located on NYS Route 30 in the Town of Andes, roughly two hours from the George Washington Bridge.
Access is via a permanent right-of-way road approximately 1,000 feet from Route 30. The land offers southern exposure year-round, direct reservoir views, creek access along the western boundary, and a natural spring piped to the parcel. An existing “rustic” (think Thoreau) off-grid cabin with porch provides immediate use. A completed soil test and engineering analysis confirms feasibility for a future septic system, and a NYCDEP agreement to reserve and protect the parcel is in place.
The Pepacton Reservoir spans 5,763 acres with over 50 miles of shoreline and is home to some of the largest brown trout in the Catskills, along with bass, perch, and more. A boat launch sits one quarter mile west on Route 30. Kayaks, canoes, and small sailboats are permitted seasonally. Hunting access extends to 200-plus adjoining NYC DEP acres. Nearby trails deliver panoramic reservoir and mountain views, and the Route 30 reservoir loop is a well-known 20-mile cycling route. Dark skies and zero light pollution complete the picture.
Andes offers a public pool, library, K–12 school, and a thriving arts community. Margaretville, minutes away, provides grocery stores, Catskill Regional Medical Center, restaurants, and everyday services. Belleayre and Plattekill ski resorts, Delhi College’s 18-hole golf course, and white-water rafting on the Delaware River round out year-round recreation.
No cellular service, no grid electricity, and road maintenance falls to the owner. Development requires NYCDEP coordination. One rarely-occupied neighbor to the north. These conditions are what have kept this land unspoiled — the right buyer will understand that immediately.
