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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
