Attention Developers and Builders: Welcome to The Preserve at Lakes Kill – A Rare and Remarkable Hudson Valley Opportunity Nestled in the heart of Red Hook, NY, just off the scenic and sought-after Feller Newmark Road, The Preserve at Lakes Kill offers a unique, turn-key residential cluster development spanning 100 pristine acres. This thoughtfully planned enclave consists of 14 land parcels, including 11 approved building lots, each ranging from approximately a half acre to just over an acre, with private access roads and generous setbacks ensuring peace and privacy. What sets The Preserve apart is its extraordinary commitment to conservation and natural beauty. Of the 100-acre parcel, a remarkable 80 acres are protected under a conservation easement held by the respected Winnakee Land Trust. This expansive preserve forms a permanent natural buffer and offers homeowners direct access to tranquil woodlands, winding walking trails, and the serene banks of Lakes Kill, a trout-rich stream that flows into the Saw Kill. Whether you're an avid hiker, birdwatcher, or simply crave the soothing sounds of nature, this sanctuary offers a lifestyle immersed in the outdoors. This project comes with full approvals in place, including a state-of-the-art community septic system, designed to serve the homes collectively and to be managed by the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority after the development is completed. Additional infrastructure is already underway: a private road has been roughed in from Feller Newmark Road through the site, stormwater management systems are in place—including a designated retention area—and underground electric service has been brought to the first lot. The building envelope has been selectively cleared and partially graded, nearly ready for construction to begin. Residents of The Preserve will also be part of a homeowners association that will own and maintain both the conservation land and private roads, ensuring long-term stewardship and shared enjoyment of the community’s most valuable assets. Conveniently located in the Red Hook Central School District, The Preserve offers the best of both town and country living. You're just 5 minutes to the charming village of Red Hook, 10 minutes to Rhinebeck, and only 5 minutes to the Taconic State Parkway—providing easy access to parks, golf courses, shopping, fine dining, farmers’ markets, and cultural attractions throughout the Hudson Valley. This is more than a development—it's a fully entitled, infrastructure-ready opportunity for builders and developers to create a distinctive residential community, surrounded by conserved natural beauty, in one of the Hudson Valley’s most desirable locations.
