Big Island is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise in the center of the Oswego River. Completely undeveloped the oval-shaped island features a gentle knoll and is covered with a well-stocked of mature trees. Sitting at approximately 360-feet above sea level this unique piece of real estate resides above the FEMA flood plain. The Oswego River is part of the NYS Canal System, which connects with the Hudson River to the south and Lake Ontario to the North and the Finger Lakes and Lake Erie to the west. Accessed exclusively by boat from one of the areas marinas or the county-maintained Apple Landing public boat launch just a few hundred yards from the islands tranquil shores. Small craft can be landed at several locations around the island but the best site is a small beach area located on the island's south side. The Island is subdivided into four roughly equal lots of just over 2.5-acres. Each lot features approximately 600 feet of river frontage. The main channel of the river runs along the eastern shore and will accommodate vessels large and small. The ideal location for a secluded home, a camp, series of cabins or other retreat. Areas surrounding the island produce excellent fishing and waterfowl hunting. Deer occasionally swim the river to take refuge on its shores but do are not there 100% of the time. The timber is comprised of a mix of enormous old grown trees and with interspersed stands of successional growth. An established path rings the island's edge and offers an excellent hike among the tranquil shores. Several potential building sites exist, while the four lots offer the opportunity for subdivision or multiple owners. A true must see for the interested buyer.
