About 3536 New Kingston Mountain Road
Now available for sale is one of the most compelling mixed-use land and infrastructure offerings in Delaware County: the former Manhattan Country School Farm, a 165.5-acre property located in Roxbury, NY, just minutes from Plattekill Mountain Ski Resort. With zoning historically aligned with educational and nonprofit use and a tax classification of 615 (Other Educational Facilities), this parcel is ideally suited for redevelopment or adaptive reuse as an educational campus, wellness retreat, boarding facility, agricultural training center, or hybrid commercial venture with live/work components. The main structure is an 8-bedroom, 2.5-story Old Style farmhouse built around 1900, offering a large finished space. The property is enhanced by a range of supporting structures, including multiple early 20th-century barns—some with livestock stalls—plus a greenhouse, machine shed, and other functional outbuildings. The fertile land offers strong potential for working agriculture, educational farming, or large-scale gardening, with previous use including vegetable plots and a dedicated flower garden. The parcel combines usable open fields with wooded buffers and natural terrain ideal for immersive learning, sustainability programming, or health and wellness retreats. A spacious farmhouse kitchen was designed to support large-scale food prep, serving both educational and hospitality functions. Historically, the campus operated as a living-learning environment for students and teachers and retains the infrastructure and layout to resume those roles with minimal modification. Its legacy as a mission-driven learning center, combined with its sustainable working farm environment, offers a turnkey foundation for organizations seeking to reestablish a modern retreat, agricultural education facility, boarding school, or nature-based campus. With a short drive to Plattekill Mountain and within reach of New York City and Albany, this property offers unmatched flexibility in use, scalability, and location. Rarely does a property with this level of built-in infrastructure, location advantages, and institutional legacy become available in the Catskills.
