0 Spile Bridge RoadDe Peyster, NY, 13654

As the crow flies, this 37.5-acre property is approximately ¼ mile east of Black Lake. An approximate 5-acre portion of the property, with frontage on the Spile Bridge Road, a paved town road, has the best potential for building an off-grid, (as electric is not available) seasonal, or year ‘round dwelling. The terrain is flat and better drained at that site, while the remaining 32.5 acres is wetland. Hardwood forest trees and shrubs occupy the roadside area, with sapling to impressive size oak, maple, ash, hickory, basswood and aspen being the predominant native tree species. There is no longer thru traffic on the Spile Bridge Road, as the bridge that crosses the Oswegatchie River, two miles past the property, was closed years ago. The owner does not possess a survey map; however, the deed description is derived from an ‘old survey’ of the property. There is no visible evidence of roadside corner markers. Barb wire and cedar fence posts suggest the location of the western boundary, and scant evidence found where the eastern boundary is believed to be. The approximate location of corner posts and boundary lines according to County tax mapping is flagged with orange ribbons. Mineral, oil & gas rights transfer to the new owner, however a public utility easement along the road frontage ‘runs with the land’ as described in the deed. The property is being sold ‘as is.’ Black Lake's most dominant game fish are small and largemouth bass, northern pike, perch, crappie, and walleye. There is a State public boat launch site ~15 miles away on the north side of the lake. The nearest public access via the Oswegatchie River, is ~5 miles away in the Heuvelton. Or, ~2.2 miles, to the Spile Bridge, enjoy a beautiful view, and drop a worm into the outlet of Black Lake. What a wonderful part of New York State this is! Amish families find this area much to their liking. Cross the conveniently close Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge, and continue north to the colorful and historic downtown Ottawa, ~70 miles away, or travel northeast ~125 miles, to visit Montreal, Quebec. Once you're in Black Lake Country, you won't know which adventure to choose first!
