The parcel features approximately 345± feet of frontage along Fox Creek Road, providing direct and convenient access from a well-maintained county road.

The property consists primarily of wooded acreage with a mix of deciduous and coniferous forest, creating a quiet natural setting while still maintaining usability throughout much of the land.

A small stream also runs through a corner section of the property, adding additional natural character and wildlife appeal. Wildlife activity has been observed throughout the property, including whitetail deer sign, and the surrounding rural landscape of woods, fields, and nearby agricultural ground contributes to the overall habitat quality within the area. For buyers looking to enjoy both country living and outdoor recreation, the property offers an attractive balance between buildability and recreational appeal. Electric is available at the road, helping simplify future development possibilities. The property is believed to be buildable pending perc testing and local approvals, making it a strong option for anyone looking to build a full-time residence, seasonal getaway, or long-term investment property in a desirable rural location. Another major advantage of this property is its location. The parcel is conveniently situated near County Route 145, providing excellent access to surrounding communities and regional destinations while still maintaining the quiet feel of the countryside. Nearby towns include Preston Hollow, Middleburgh, Durham, and Greenville, while Albany, Hudson, and other Capital Region destinations remain within reasonable driving distance.

Fishing opportunities along Catskill Creek and nearby waterways also add to the appeal of the location. For winter recreation and four-season tourism, Windham Mountain Ski Area is located within driving distance. For buyers searching for an affordable and manageable country building lot with road frontage, recreational appeal, and strong access to surrounding amenities, this Albany County property presents an excellent opportunity to own and build in a desirable Upstate New York setting.

Questions to ask before you buy
Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
- Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
- What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
- How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
- What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
- What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
- How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
- How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
- What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
