Make 2026 the year you can create a modern Rustic Getaway on a sequestered 5.6 acre lot up on the Palmertown Ridge, roughly 12 miles northwest of Saratoga Springs, or 15 minutes to exit 16 on the Northway. Here you can find a safe haven to be built by Master Craftsman Thomas Whipple. Here he has priced and proposed a replica of a unique two level plan which he and his wife Elizabeth completed 3 years ago. The stamp blueprint/layout and spec sheet are included in documents for this listing. If interested their version of this layout and plan can be seen in person as a model once you have reviewed the photos by the builder's wife Elizabeth in the MLS. This is a plan that accentuates open spans, high ceilings and well-windowed space...with views in virtually all directions. Expansive great rooms on both levels are terrific for large gatherings for family, friends, grandchildren and daily life. Featured are two primary, private bedroom suites, one on each level, plus two extra bedrooms which they use as separate workspace offices. Living areas on both levels feel equally stylish and functionally, unlike any traditional ranch or colonial layout. The lower level with its walkout access built into the natural slope of the lot, certainly does not feel like a basement. The attached garage provides protected access to your vehicles in any weather. This building parcel offers a gradual slope for the road frontage up to a high point almost 500 feet back, not visible to any other homes or structures. Buyers will have some choice as to where to position the new structure, based on variable length of the paved driveway and electrical service. The hardwoods adorning this un-logged site are well spaced so that hiking it will be a pleasure when you get started with this process. Directly across from the road frontage is a NYS forest preserve, which is forever wild.
