22.9 Acres for Sale in Potsdam, New York

22.9 Acres Off Old Market Road

Twenty-two and nine tenths acres near the corner of Reynolds Road and Old Market Road, carrying a tax bill of $92.48 for 2026. As a holding cost that is close to nothing, which is most of the argument for holding rural New York ground.

The use here is hunting and recreation. This is swampland: wet ground under cover, which is exactly what holds game and exactly what rules out a building site. The cover and the quiet are what you are buying.

Owner financing: $15,000 down at 12% APR over five years. The monthly payment and current financing structure are to be confirmed before making an offer.

Before you buy this parcel

Two things about the paperwork a buyer should weigh. The parcel came out of an estate on an administrator's deed, which conveys what the estate held without the covenants a warranty deed carries. And the legal description is the 1863 Farnsworth survey, run in chains from a pine stump and cedar posts set between 1859 and 1863; those monuments are unlikely to still be findable. The deed bounds the parcel by neighbouring lots rather than by any road, which is consistent with the county showing no frontage. Budget for a survey.

This is wet ground. Much of the parcel is swampland, which is what makes it good cover for game and poor ground for building. Wetland of this kind commonly falls under New York State DEC freshwater wetland rules and may also fall under US Army Corps jurisdiction, both of which restrict filling, draining and construction. Check the wetland mapping and any permit requirements for your intended use before you close.

There is no easement to this parcel. Buyers should speak with neighbouring landowners or consult legal counsel regarding an easement of necessity. The price reflects that this work is outstanding, and no buyer should proceed without understanding it.

Mineral, gas and water rights have not been established for this parcel. No mineral examination has been made. Do not assume any of them are included; have the record searched before you close.
