Recreational Land for Sale in Chateaugay, New York

The current owners have enjoyed this property for decades, spending countless days hunting and fishing along the beautiful Chateaugay River. Now, this remarkable 74-acre oasis is ready for its next owner to experience and enjoy. Consisting of two parcels and featuring over 5,400 feet of private riverfront, this one-of-a-kind property offers unmatched natural beauty and privacy. The Chateaugay River, flowing north into Quebec and eventually joining the St. Lawrence River, is recognized as one of the top trout streams in both New York and Quebec. It's home to brown, rainbow, and brook trout and has carved a deep chasm through the sandstone, forming dramatic cliffs and unique geological features. Wildlife abounds throughout the property, including whitetail deer, wild turkey, and ruffed grouse. Mature pine, hemlock, and northern hardwoods cover the land, with many trees exceeding 20 inches in diameter. The forest floor is filled with ferns and wildflowers, adding to its natural charm. Access is provided by a private, heavy-duty gravel road measuring just over 1,300 feet in length, leading to a gated entrance. The property spans both sides of the river with no public fishing rights, ensuring total privacy. Located only a few miles from the international border and approximately 50 miles from Montreal, this property offers a peaceful retreat within easy reach of city amenities. In the late 1800s, a small hotel once stood on this land, hosting guests who came to experience the river's beauty via walkways and bridges. Today, it remains just as captivating - the perfect setting to build your dream cabin or enjoy as a private getaway surrounded by nature.
