Description

Located along the quiet countryside of County Route 352 in Albany County, this 5.7± acre parcel presents a rare opportunity for buyers searching for a build-ready homesite in a peaceful rural setting. Positioned in the Medusa / Rensselaerville area and accessed by the private Birch Lane right-of-way, this property combines scenic views, existing infrastructure, natural features, and privacy into a highly attractive small acreage offering. What immediately separates this property from many other vacant land offerings is the fact that the groundwork has already been started. The parcel already features an existing well and septic system, creating a significant advantage for future buyers looking to streamline the building process. For anyone seeking a jump-started homesite with much of the initial groundwork already completed, this property offers a strong opportunity. The land itself features a nice balance of wooded acreage and open meadow areas, creating both usability and visual appeal. The property consists of a mix of deciduous and coniferous woodlands complemented by smaller open grassy sections that provide potential building locations and scenic sightlines across the surrounding countryside. The terrain is generally flat and manageable, making the parcel easy to navigate and well-suited for future residential use. Adding to the natural character of the property is a stream that runs through a corner section of the land, contributing both wildlife habitat and a peaceful setting. White-tailed deer sign has been observed on the property, and the combination of woods, meadow cover, and water source creates a diverse habitat throughout the parcel. The property benefits from substantial frontage, including approximately 790± feet along Birch Lane and an additional 325± feet along County Route 352. Birch Lane serves as the private right-of-way access road for the surrounding properties and runs through the parcel itself, creating straightforward access into the property while maintaining the quiet and secluded atmosphere that buyers are often searching for in this part of Albany County. Zoning for the property is classified as Agricultural Rural Residential (A-RR), supporting the area's overall rural character and residential use patterns. Electric is available at the road, further enhancing the property's readiness for future development. Another major benefit of this property is its location. Despite its quiet and private setting, the parcel remains within reach of nearby towns, recreation, and amenities throughout the Capital Region and northern Catskills. The property is located near the communities of Middleburgh, Preston Hollow, and Durham, while still offering reasonable access to Albany, Hudson, and New York City. Nearby outdoor recreation opportunities are abundant, including access to state land areas, hiking, hunting, and skiing. Windham Mountain Ski Area is also located within driving distance, adding year-round recreational appeal to the location. Whether you're looking to build a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or simply secure a manageable and scenic piece of Upstate New York land with infrastructure already in place, this property offers an excellent blend of convenience, privacy, and long-term potential. The seller has an additional lot for sale directly across Birch Lane MLS ID#11741324
