Lot 5 East River Road Andes NY 13731 MLS #R1692869

Just south of the Pepacton Reservoir on the scenic south side of the Western Catskills, this 2.60-acre recreational parcel offers privacy, natural beauty, and exceptional access to some of the region’s best outdoor destinations.

Accessed via a right-of-way road just off the NYC Road #8 hugging the south shores of the Pepacton, the property opens into a useful level landing area well suited for parking vehicles, campers, or creating possible future getaway infrastructure. Whether envisioned as a seasonal basecamp, tent platform, or simple escape into nature, the setting offers flexibility and strong recreational appeal.

The land itself is almost entirely wooded, with rolling to sloped terrain that creates both privacy and character. The lower northern section features mixed deciduous woods with a classic Catskills forest feel, while the upper slopes transition into mature pine forest, creating a beautiful change in landscape as you move through the property. Several natural springs emerge throughout the parcel, adding to the property’s unique character and creating a valuable natural water feature.

Location is a major highlight. Just minutes from the Shavertown Bridge and Pepacton Reservoir, the property offers outstanding proximity to fishing, paddling, hiking, and year-round outdoor recreation. The Shavertown Trail, Big Pond, and Little Pond are all nearby, with endless opportunities to explore the surrounding Catskills landscape.

Andes is just 15 minutes away, while Delhi, Roscoe, and Walton are all approximately 30 minutes from the property, offering convenient access to dining, shopping, and local amenities. Located just 2 hours and 20 minutes from Metro New York City, this is an appealing opportunity for buyers seeking an affordable recreational retreat in one of the Catskills’ most sought-after outdoor corridors.
