Description

The jewel of this 388.4-acre, ‘North Country’ property, is the ~2 mile stretch of frontage on the Oswegatchie River. Much of the river’s shoreline is accessible from woods roads and trails that originate from the year ‘round Emeryville Road. Level, rolling, and slight slope, all describe the mostly wooded terrain features of this parcel. Native hardwoods and conifers, plantation pines and bedrock outcrops are all characteristics of the land above the river’s edge.

These woods have not been commercially thinned in a very long time. There is current and future potential for portions of the property to be utilized for the production of maple syrup, as there is a vigorous sugar maple component present.

Old house and barn foundations adjacent to partially open meadows, laden with wild apple trees, are testimony of the past agricultural use of the property. Piled rocks, barb wire, blazed and painted trees, and posters are historic evidence of where boundaries are believed to be, as no recent surveys of the property are available. An electric transmission line easement runs east-west, parallel to, and ~150 yards north of the river. A lease arrangement with a local hunting group ends on September 30th of this year. All rights transfer. Electric and communication utilities are located roadside.

The size and shape of the property, with 4,250’ of road frontage and ~11,500’ of river frontage, create an excellent opportunity for development and subdivision. There are no zoning laws in the Town of Fowler.

This location is central to numerous popular destinations including; the St. Lawrence River/Thousand Islands, Lake Ontario, the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks, and of course our friendly neighbors to the north, Canada.

Oswegatchie River properties have become valuable commodities for anyone captivated by nature, a wild river and the opportunity to disconnect from the outside world, if only for a few minutes out of your day. This property might be considered a peaceful haven or a wilderness retreat and possibly the best personal/recreational investment ever made for you and your family!
