"While You Were Waiting, They Were Building:
A Doansburg Road Wake-Up Call"
Not long ago, a unique 47.5-acre parcel on Doansburg Road in Brewster hit the market. It had everything: privacy, ridge views, two approved structures (including a home and a pool), and zoning that opened the door to future subdivision.
Buyers were intrigued. A few walked it. Some asked questions. Others said, “Let me think about it.”
But while they were thinking… someone else was moving.
That land is sold now. The vision is already in motion: a secluded estate with a private indoor basketball court, ridge-top siting, and long-term subdivision potential. What was once raw land is quickly becoming a $5M+ project—designed, financed, and soon to be built.
And here's the thing: the buyers who hesitated are still watching the listings. Still looking for “something like that,” but cheaper, flatter, closer to town. Spoiler: it doesn’t exist.
That Doansburg parcel didn’t wait. The buyer who acted saw more than trees—they saw trajectory. They didn’t need perfect. They needed possible—and the courage to make it real.
This is what happens when you wait too long. Someone else walks the land you toured. They take the risk, close the deal, and start building the vision you were still considering.
I don’t share this to stir regret. I share it as a reminder: when it comes to land, decisiveness is your advantage. Especially when the lot is rare, the location is strategic, and the approvals are in place.
Here’s what to do next:
Stop hunting for perfect. Hunt for potential.
Don’t just walk the land—understand it. Ask what’s allowed, what’s planned, what’s possible.
When it feels close? Move fast. Bring your team. Write the offer.
There will be other parcels—but few with the opportunity and scale of Doansburg. If that one got away, don’t let the next one.
Call to Action:
Ready to stop watching and start building? Let’s walk the next opportunity before someone else does. I’ve got a few in mind—just as rare, and just as ready. Text, call, or email me and let’s go see them before they’re gone.
Call me when you’re ready to walk the land,
not just talk about it.
