Property Description
A rare opportunity to own nearly 15 contiguous acres on quiet Old Ghost Road in Canaan, within the Town of New Lebanon. Lots 7 and 8 (8.45 acres and 6.53 acres respectively) are being offered together, creating an unusually flexible property with the privacy of a country setting and the convenience of nearby communities.
Several acres have already been selectively cleared, creating an attractive future home site surrounded by woods and open space. The clearing has also begun to open up distant views of the Taconic Hills, with additional potential to expand those sight lines if desired. Lot 8 has received Board of Health approval for a four-bedroom residence, with the approved home site located near the parcel's higher elevation. A driveway can approach at a similar elevation near the end of the cul-de-sac, offering an enticing reveal of the future residence as well as the setting.
The contiguous parcels provide flexibility in how the property might ultimately be used and developed, subject to applicable zoning, permitting and site requirements. The generous acreage offers room to create a substantial primary residence, country retreat, recreational property or other improvements as permitted, while preserving plenty of privacy and natural surroundings.
And while the setting feels wonderfully removed, civilization isn't far away. New Lebanon provides everyday essentials, local farms and markets, restaurants and services. Nearby Chatham adds a lively village center with independent shops, cafes, restaurants, specialty food stores, the historic Crandell Theatre and other cultural offerings. The surrounding Columbia County countryside provides abundant opportunities for hiking, cycling, farm visits and simply enjoying the scenic back roads, while the Berkshires and Hudson Valley are both within easy reach for dining, arts, culture, skiing and entertainment.
A quiet road, nearly 15 acres, an established clearing, distant hillside views, and a four-bedroom Board of Health approval already in place—this is a property with both a sense of place and room to create something of your own.
