Tom really did a tremendous job for me and it was great having him in my corner. A couple highlights:--- he is immediately responsive to everything, even in odd hours.--- he helped negotiate my sales price down 5% of what I thought I had to go with. --- he comes from construction so really has a knowledge base most agents just don't. --- he has the local knowledge to recommend help with just about any need, whether it be legal, contracting, etc. --- and not for nothing he's a fun guy to work with, has a great sense of humor and in the stressful times of buying a property that helps a lot.

Working with a land specialist when buying or selling vacant land is essential because land transactions require a unique set of skills, experience, and technical knowledge that go far beyond traditional home sales. Every parcel of land is different — from its zoning and topography to its access, drainage, and development potential — and understanding these factors can make the difference between a smooth, profitable deal and a costly mistake.

1. Zoning, Regulations & Approvals
A land specialist knows how to read zoning maps, setbacks, and density requirements and understands the approval processes for Board of Health (BOHA), wetlands, and driveways. These determine what can be built and where — critical knowledge that most residential agents only encounter occasionally.

2. Pricing Land Accurately
Unlike homes, vacant land can’t be priced using comparable sales alone. A land expert evaluates access, slope, utilities, soil quality, lot shape, and buildability to determine a fair and realistic market value.

3. Marketing to the Right Buyers
Land buyers are a specialized group — builders, developers, and individuals planning custom homes. A land specialist knows how to target and communicate with this audience, highlighting features like road frontage, lake rights, or subdivision potential that drive real interest.

4. Understanding Site Conditions
Land isn’t always as it appears. Slopes, drainage, wetlands, and rock ledge can all affect cost and feasibility. A specialist can identify these factors early and guide buyers or sellers around potential roadblocks before they derail a deal.

5. Managing Due Diligence
Surveys, soil tests, environmental studies, and engineering reports are part of almost every land deal. A land professional knows how to interpret these documents, coordinate with local officials, and ensure deadlines are met.

In short, buying or selling vacant land isn’t just about the acreage — it’s about understanding what’s possible. A skilled land specialist bridges the gap between raw land and its potential, helping clients see beyond the trees and topography to the property’s true value and opportunity.

Three adjoining parcels—Lot 11 Traverse Road, Lot 13 Walnut Road, and Lot 15 Walnut Road in Lake Peekskill, New York 10537—are now being offered together as one combined opportunity. Individually, each lot tells its own story: a slice of wooded hillside, a quiet path between rustic roads, and a glimpse of the tranquil lake just down the hill. But together, they form something rare—a generous piece of land that invites imagination and possibility in one of Putnam County’s most charming lake communities. The setting is peaceful yet convenient. Traverse and Walnut are small country roads where neighbors wave, dogs are walked daily, and the sound of wind in the trees replaces the noise of traffic. This location is part of the Lake Peekskill community, known for its scenic water views, private beaches, and relaxed weekend feel—just about an hour from New York City. Here, weekends can blend into weekdays, with the lake always nearby for kayaking, fishing, or quiet reflection.
The seller is offering all three contiguous parcels as a single sale, creating a rare buildable footprint in an area where land is scarce. Together, they offer more space, more flexibility, and more privacy than a single small lot could provide. Whether the buyer envisions a year-round home, a weekend retreat, or simply an investment in a growing area, this collection of parcels gives them the breathing room to design something truly special. Even better, the seller will allow the buyer to obtain Board of Health Approval (BOHA)—a valuable chance to move forward with confidence and secure the necessary approvals for a future home. This open-door approach adds real value, giving the next owner both control and peace of mind through the process. Opportunities like this rarely come along in Lake Peekskill. Three lots, one vision, and a seller willing to support your plans. The land is ready for someone with imagination—a buyer who sees more than trees and slopes, who sees a future home nestled in the woods just minutes from the lake.

Lot 11 Traverse, Lot 13 Walnut, and Lot 15 Walnut Road—sold together, offered together, ready to become something more.
