Welcome to one of the most iconic and high-traffic properties in the Hudson Valley-home to the legendary Clemson Bros Brewery (formerly the Gilded Otter). Positioned on a prominent 2.1-acre corner lot at Main Street and Huguenot Street, this is more than just real estate-it's a launchpad for your next major business venture. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Shawangunk Mountains and just steps from the SUNY New Paltz campus, this property sits at the intersection of nature, community, tourism, and culture. Whether you're an established restaurateur, brewer, distiller, or investor with vision, this is a rare opportunity to tap into the vibrant pulse of a destination town that's entering a new era of growth. New Paltz is transforming-and this site is in the center of it all. Just blocks away, Zero Place has introduced the town's first mixed-use, net-zero development. Trail Link Collective is creating a new hub for outdoor lifestyle and commerce. And The New Paltz Way-a 28-room boutique hotel-is coming to 11 Water Street. These projects are setting the stage for a downtown that blends innovation, sustainability, and hospitality. This property offers unmatched visibility and potential, with zoning that allows for mixed-use development including residential over retail, boutique commercial, a tasting room, or even a two-story parking structure to serve the growing demand. The location couldn't be more strategic: just 90 minutes from NYC and Albany, moments from Exit 18 of the NYS Thruway, and surrounded by steady foot traffic from students, hikers, bikers, tourists, and locals. Outdoor seating, over 7,500 square feet of beautifully maintained interior space, and 72 dedicated parking spaces make this turnkey for a hospitality group-or a visionary developer ready to reimagine the entire footprint. This isn't just a property-it's a business, a brand, and a rare opportunity to stake your claim in one of the Hudson Valley's fastest-growing and most culturally rich towns. The energy is magnetic. The growth is undeniable. The time is now.
