Pucky Huddle Road

Pucky Huddle Road is a lot near the town of Bethel, two hours away from New York City, a serene and isolated property that sits alongside a tranquil stream. Our plan is to construct The Cottage ADU on this lot, which is a compact cabin designed to maximize the sleeping area while having a minimal footprint.

• Value Created: $68,500*

• Standard: The Cottage

Ideal for a couple seeking a tranquil retreat, this project entails minimal construction on a picturesque parcel of land, with potential plans for a larger home in the future. The cozy dwelling offers a serene respite by a babbling brook, away from the bustling chaos of the city.

Located in Sullivan County, just a two-hour drive from New York City, Pucky Huddle Road is situated near the lively Catskill town of Bethel. This area is renowned for its superb dining options and cultural events, with the added bonus of being within walking distance to the acclaimed Bethel Woods Performing Art Center. The Mallory Brook, running through the property, offers an ideal launch spot for kayaking and trout fishing enthusiasts.

The site spans 5.7 acres and features forested land at the front, leading to a creek and a stunning marsh at the rear. The land is mostly flat and conveniently reachable from the road, making it simple to select an elevated site for construction.

The Cottage ADU would be situated in the raised buildable space located towards the front of the lot, facing Mallory Brook. The building would be positioned to offer stunning views of the marsh from the deck.

To start this project, you’ll need to purchase the lot for $89,000

Minimizing the impact on the natural landscape is a top priority for this project. With this in mind, the parking area will be separated from the cabin by a walking path, creating a more authentic camping feel. The installation of power, septic, and a well will be carried out with utmost care and consideration for the site's preservation, ensuring minimal disturbance to the natural surroundings.
