0000X Brady Bch Rd Russia, NY 13431

This 27.2-acre parcel is located at the end of Brady Beach Road in the Town of Russia. It adjoins the Adirondack Forest Preserve lands to the north and west, with Remus Brook running along the southern boundary. The eastern edge faces the town-maintained Brady Beach Road, providing year-round access and electric availability. The property features a sandy clearing bordered by mature red pines, and includes a rustic lean-to. Zoned as Rural Development Residential (RDR), the land allows for low-density residential use with a minimum lot size of 8 acres and 300 feet of frontage. With approvals from the Town of Russia and the Adirondack Park Agency (APA), the parcel could be subdivided into up to three conforming lots. The parcel is adjacent to land owned by the New York State Canal Corporation, and upland residential owners may apply for a revocable, pedestrian-only access permit to the reservoir, allowing a 25-foot-wide footpath to the water for an annual fee of $50. An additional $50 per year would permit an approved dock. These permits are revocable and non-transferable, prohibiting vehicular access or land clearing on Canal Corporation property. Approximately 1,100 feet to the southwest, the DEC-managed Hinckley Reservoir Day Use Area features a lifeguarded beach, boat launch, fishing pier, picnic shelters, and access to trails. The area is near Hinckley State Forest, West Canada Creek, the Herkimer Diamond Mines, City of Utica, and the Village of Old Forge, providing opportunities for outdoor activities such as paddling, fishing, hiking, snowmobiling, and skiing. This wooded parcel in the southern Adirondacks offers privacy, natural beauty and the potential for development.
