French Settlement Rd Harrisville, NY 13648

This approximately 15-acre parcel is located off French Settlement Road and has been approved for subdivision. The land is entirely wooded, featuring predominantly red and scotch pine trees planted over 50 years ago, which could potentially be used for logs or lumber. A 0.52-acre portion of the property is outside the Special Flood Hazard Area and suitable for building. A public electric utility easement and line run through the northern portion of this potential building site. The northern boundary of the property is defined by the meandering Middle Branch of the Oswegatchie River, about a 15-minute walk from the road. The area is home to deer, bear, turkey, grouse, woodcock, fox, rabbits, coyotes, songbirds, and waterfowl. The pine plantation transitions into hardwoods near the river's floodplain, offering potential camping and fishing spots. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy hiking, biking, cross country skiing, kayaking, canoeing, camping, motor boating, snowshoeing, fishing, hunting, swimming, ice fishing, and ATV and snowmobile riding. The 20,000-acre Frank Jadwin Memorial State Forest is located 800 feet to the west of the property. The Harrisville Rod and Gun Club is within 3 miles to the east. French Settlement Road is open to ATVs and is a plowed snowmobile road. The West and Middle Branches of the Oswegatchie River are known for native brook trout and other game fish. Lake Ontario, the St. Lawrence River, the Adirondacks, and Canada are within an hour's drive.
