This property is composed of 11 discrete parcels with over 2,000 feet of road frontage, primarily zoned Rural Residential, which allows a large variety of both permitted and special uses that would allow a fabulous palette of options for either the private compound or the commercial endeavour.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis has got to be one of the worst schools I have sent any of my kids to. If I had transportation I would withdraw my kids immediately and put them in another school. Most of the faculty, teachers and principal, whom I have had the displeasure of dealing with seem to lack social skills. If they do not know how to speak to the parents, how can they possibly know how to talk to kids? Luckily there is only two weeks of school left and I may just move over the summer so I can get my kids away from this school.Parent Review14y ago - Hunter Tannersville Middle School High School
