Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Ashland, New York

Imagine owning your own private mountain just minutes from Windham Mountain Club. Welcome to Gun Knob Plateau, an extraordinary 108.54-acre property located less than 3 miles from the slopes, offering a rare combination of expansive acreage, remarkably usable terrain, natural beauty, and endless possibilities. What sets this property apart is its gentle topography. Unlike many large mountain parcels, over 100 acres are easily walkable and usable, with rolling meadows, open pastures, and scenic woodlands stretching across the landscape. The terrain becomes steeper only near the uppermost portion of Gun Knob Mtn, where the climb rewards you with a true mountain summit experience. Water is another wonderful natural asset. Multiple year-round springs flow throughout the property, along with two historic stone-lined spring boxes. The western portion offers an excellent potential pond site, adding yet another opportunity to enhance this remarkable setting. A former sand and gravel pit in the lower pasture has been filled, graded, and seeded, with soils considered suitable for a septic system, subject to testing and approvals. Considerable improvements have already been made to enhance accessibility and enjoyment of the land. A newly constructed driveway provides access directly from Route 23. Approximately 3 acres have been cleared, stumps removed, graded, and seeded, while another half-acre has been thoughtfully opened to create a beautiful park-like setting. Approximately half a mile of newly established trails winds through the property, complemented by extensive brush trimming and clearing. From open meadows to peaceful woodland trails leading toward the summit, Gun Knob Plateau offers an incredible sense of space, privacy, and connection to the Catskill landscape. Envision a private mountain retreat, a legacy estate to enjoy for generations, or explore the potential for multiple homesites, subject to municipal approvals. And while the setting feels worlds away, you're just minutes from Windham's charming village, restaurants, shops, skiing, golf, hiking, mountain biking, the Batavia Kill stream, and four seasons of outdoor recreation. 108.54 acres. Your own mountain. A remarkable Catskills opportunity. This is a property that truly needs to be experienced firsthand to appreciate its scale, terrain, and possibilities.
