The hard work is already done, now bring your vision. This remarkable 36.7-acre parcel in Delanson arrives with something most raw land listings don't - $200,000 in infrastructure already in the ground and ready for the next chapter. A 700-foot private driveway with 3 feet of crushed stone, a cleared building area, a pond, a poured foundation, electricity already run to the site, and a 220-foot drilled well producing 10 gallons per minute. The groundwork here is serious and substantial. The foundation was over built virtually guaranteeing it to be dry. Fios is available on the street, and with 36.7 acres of open canvas, the possibilities are genuinely wide open. Build your dream home, estimated at approximately $250,000 to complete --or consider a larger project. The parcel can accommodate up to three homes, and the acreage also supports subdivision, equestrian use, farming, or a variety of other visions subject to town approvals. The long private driveway sets the tone from the moment you arrive -- this feels like a destination, not just a lot. The cleared area and pond add immediate character and natural beauty that most buildable parcels simply don't have. Positioned between Schenectady and Cobleskill with access to I-88 and Route 20, the location offers rural privacy without sacrificing regional connectivity. $200,000 already invested. $299,000 asking price. The math makes sense. The land delivers the rest. The attached plans are approved plans for the foundation and could be modified.
