A Commercial Opportunity Waiting to Be Built! Lot 41 on Towners Road in Kent, NY, is more than vacant land—it’s a blank canvas for the right business, investor, or developer. Located in the 10512 ZIP code and positioned along Towners Road, this commercial parcel offers an opportunity to create something specifically designed for today's market rather than taking on the limitations of an existing building. For the right buyer, the possibilities could include retail, professional office, a service business, contractor-related use, storage, or other commercial applications, subject of course to zoning, municipal approvals and site-plan requirements. And that’s what makes commercial land so interesting: you start with the land and build around the business. Instead of adapting an existing structure to fit your needs, you have the opportunity to plan the property from the ground up—with the building, parking, access and site layout designed around your intended use. Location Matters! Towners Road provides access to the surrounding Kent community and connects an established residential market with nearby communities and major transportation routes. For businesses, visibility and convenience matter. Customers want to be able to find you, get to you and park easily. Employees want accessibility. Owners want a location that supports long-term growth. Location is one of the few things you can't change—and Lot 41 already has it. Why Consider Vacant Commercial Land? For an owner-user, this could be an opportunity to build a property specifically for your business rather than continuing to lease space. For an investor, the property may offer long-term potential depending on permitted uses and development costs. For a developer, it represents an opportunity to create a commercial project from the ground up. Of course, utilities, access, engineering, environmental conditions, drainage, parking, site design and municipal approvals will all need to be investigated before determining exactly what can be developed. That due diligence is critical. The Bottom Line Commercial land doesn't come with an existing blueprint. That's the opportunity. Lot 41 Towners Road offers the next owner the chance to take a piece of land and create something designed specifically for the market, the business and the location. Vacant land doesn't tell you what it was. It asks you to imagine what it could become. Lot 41 Towners Road is ready for that next chapter. The question isn't what sits there today. The question is what you can build there tomorrow.

A rare opportunity to acquire approximately 36 acres of income-producing lakefront property just one hour north of New York City, with convenient access by both car and Metro-North. The property combines immediate cash flow, substantial acreage, recreational appeal, and significant long-term development potential. The compound includes 11 homes, a fully on-grid tiny house, and an Argosy camper. The owner holds six of the homes outright, while five additional homes occupy the property under land leases. Together, these assets generate both residential rental income and recurring land-lease revenue. When fully occupied, the property produces a 7.5% capitalization rate, offering investors a turn-key opportunity with established income from day one. All current tenants are on month-to-month leases allowing for maximum flexibility for the new owner. The property also presents a compelling opportunity for an owner-user seeking a private Hudson Valley retreat. An owner could create an expansive upstate compound where family and friends gather for weekends of boating, hiking, and outdoor recreation, while the existing homes and land leases help offset the cost of ownership. The acreage also provides ample space to develop a private estate or multi-generational family compound. The current owners use the house at 47 Rock Rd, along with the attached ‘glampground’ as a private getaway from the city. They have spent years clearing and beautifying the land, including planting ornamental cherry trees throughout the property. Spring hikes, huge outdoor gatherings in summer, camping in fall, sledding in winter, they use the property as a year-round destination for friends and family. The property is offered 100% turn-key - the tiny home, RV, plow truck, and UTV all convey with the sale. Rolling hills, mature landscaping, scenic trails, and the natural beauty of Lake Gilead surround the property. The setting offers exceptional privacy while remaining remarkably accessible to New York City - close enough for spontaneous weekends and extended stays, yet secluded enough to feel like a true escape. Generate income today. Create additional value tomorrow. This lakefront Hudson Valley compound gives its next owner the flexibility to operate it as an income-producing investment, pursue future development, create a private retreat, or combine all three.

Lot 4 on Laurie Court sits along a quiet stretch in Kent, New York, where the pace slows and the landscape takes center stage. Zoned R-80, this property offers what many buyers are searching for today: generous space, privacy, and the ability to build without feeling crowded by neighboring homes. The lot’s size allows for a home that responds naturally to the land rather than forcing the land to conform to a design. Walking the property, you begin to appreciate how the setting buffers itself. Mature trees and gentle contours create separation and privacy, giving the lot a calm, settled feel from the moment you step off the road. Laurie Court is lightly traveled, reinforcing the peaceful residential character and making the setting feel tucked away without being isolated. R-80 zoning encourages low-density, thoughtful development, helping preserve the area’s character and protect long-term value. This is land suited for careful planning—a place where spacing, setbacks, and surroundings work together to support a well-designed home. Whether the plan is to build now or hold for the future, the lot offers flexibility without sacrificing privacy. Located in the 10512 zip code, Lot 4 benefits from convenient access to town amenities, commuter routes, and the natural beauty that defines Kent, while still offering a sense of retreat. It’s more than a vacant parcel—it’s a foundation for a home that respects the land and the lifestyle that makes this part of Putnam County so desirable.

Lot 42 on Ludingtonville Road doesn’t announce itself. It sits quietly along the road, offering 365 feet of frontage that most drivers pass without a second glance. No sign, no cleared entrance—just a stretch of land in the Town of Kent with a Carmel mailing address, waiting for someone willing to slow down long enough to actually see it. At 2.78 acres in an R-80 zone, it isn’t trying to be everything. It doesn’t promise grand scale. What it offers instead is something more subtle—and, depending on who you are, more valuable: thoughtful opportunity. The first thing you notice isn’t the size. It’s the sound. A stream cuts through the middle of the land, moving steadily from right to left. It’s not loud or dramatic—but constant. The kind of sound that settles into the background until you realize it’s the only thing you hear. That stream defines the lot more than any map ever could. There is no survey available, You will be responsible to have a survey done at your expense if you need it. There’s a balance here shaped by the land itself. The frontage opens things up, while the interior draws you inward, away from the road and toward something quieter. The presence of the stream introduces natural considerations that influence how the property is understood. This is the kind of lot that asks questions before it gives answers. And that’s where most people walk away. The lack of a survey brings uncertainty. The stream suggests constraints. For someone looking for easy, this isn’t it. But for the right buyer—the one who sees land not as a checklist, but as a process—it’s different. There’s something honest about a property like this. Nothing is handed to you. Every decision has to be thought through, and in that process, the result feels more intentional. Lot 42 isn’t a blank canvas. It’s a conversation—one that starts at the road, winds through the trees, crosses the stream, and asks a simple question: Are you willing to figure it out?
