About this home

Private Hilltop Retreat on 7+ Acres | 24 McKnight Hill Rd, Salem NY Includes Two Tax Parcels – Ideal for Investment, Expansion, or Full-Time Living Discover the potential of this solidly built 1980 home perched on a private hilltop in peaceful Salem, NY. Offering serene surroundings and over 7 acres of combined land across two separate tax parcels (176.-1-15.1 and 176.-1-13.2), this property combines the charm of rural living with solid infrastructure and unbeatable privacy. Whether you’re seeking a renovation-ready home, a long-term retreat, or a dual-lot investment, this opportunity checks all the boxes. The house features 3 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths located on the first floor — perfect for one-level living — and a private upstairs primary suite complete with skylights and a bonus half-bedroom or office. Andersen sliding doors and windows throughout the home let in an abundance of natural light and showcase the scenic surroundings. The home was built on a concrete slab foundation, and the slab is currently exposed, offering a blank canvas for your choice of flooring — from tile to hardwood or radiant heat. All major systems have been inspected and confirmed to be in working order: plumbing, well and well pump, and septic, which was recently emptied and inspected by a trusted local company. Enjoy easy access with a widened private driveway leading up the hill to the home, ensuring convenient year-round travel. The property also includes a detached 2-car garage, one bay oversized, ideal for workshop use or equipment storage. The sale includes both the main parcel at 24 McKnight Hill Rd and a separate corner lot, opening the door for future expansion, additional structures, or simply added privacy. Combined, the parcels total over 7 acres of land with road frontage on two sides — a rare find in Washington County. This is a cash-only sale, though short-term owner financing may be available depending on terms, offering a unique opportunity for buyers completing renovations prior to securing long-term financing.
