Build Your Dream Mountain Escape in Elka Park’s Exclusive Indian Head Wilderness
5-Acre Wooded Lots | Engineered Septic Plans Included | Power to Site | 2.5 Hours from NYC
The mountain lifestyle you’ve been imagining starts here. Tucked along a peaceful private road off Platte Clove Road in Elka Park, NY, our exclusive 9-lot subdivision offers professional families a rare opportunity to create their perfect Catskills retreat in the heart of the Indian Head Wilderness.
Why These Lots Are Different
Unlike raw land that requires years of permitting and planning, these meticulously prepared 5-acre parcels come ready to build. Each lot includes engineered septic plans and power along the private road—removing the biggest hurdles that typically delay mountain home construction. Successful DEP perc tests mean you can move from dream to groundbreaking faster than you ever thought possible.
The Land Tells Its Own Story
These aren’t cookie-cutter lots. Each 5-acre wooded parcel features its own character—diverse topography that ranges from potential mountain views to charming historic stone walls that speak to the land’s heritage. Walk the property and you’ll discover natural build sites that offer privacy, southern exposure, and that intangible feeling of “this is the one.” With ample road frontage, you’ll enjoy easy access while maintaining the sense of seclusion that makes the Catskills so special.
Your Life Here
Imagine Saturday mornings hiking to Kaaterskill Falls (10 minutes away), winter weekends skiing Hunter Mountain (15 minutes) or Windham (20 minutes), and summer afternoons at North-South Lake. Picture your family exploring the Mountain Top Arboretum, discovering waterfalls, and building memories in a community that values nature, quiet, and authentic mountain living.
Main Street Tannersville is minutes away—home to beloved local spots like Maggie’s Krooked Café, The Pantry, and Lucky Catskills. This isn’t about leaving civilization behind; it’s about finding the perfect balance between natural beauty and the amenities that make life comfortable.
Built for NYC Families Who Get It
The 2.5-hour drive from Manhattan makes weekend getaways effortless and extended remote work stretches entirely feasible. These lots attract families who understand that the best investment isn’t just financial—it’s in the weekends spent hiking with your kids, the fresh mountain air, the sound of nothing but wind through old-growth forest.
Whether you envision a cozy cabin, a modern A-frame, or a spacious family compound, these lots provide the canvas. The Indian Head Wilderness provides the inspiration.
