Though zoned as residential, with a Special Permit one can imagine a boutique inn with specialized restaurant and micro-brewery doing well here. There is a profound amount of artesian spring water available from several wells on the site. Consider what could be done marketing the special value of on-site spring water for a cottage industry of special beverages using local recipes, ginger ale, root beer, fruit drinks, etc.? A Special Permit from the Town of Shandaken will be required for any commercial use allowed within the Residential 1.5 zoning area. Connection to the municipal sewage and municipal water is recommended as they are both next to the property. Application to the DEP/CWC for sewage connection and application to the Town Water Dept for water connection.
