Harbor Creek Drive, off NYS Route 3, is a year 'round, hard packed stone road which was built to Town specifications. It is currently a private drive maintained by the seller. The seller agrees to maintain the existing road to the southern border of the 10 Lot Subdivision until January 1, 2025. At that time, a Homeowner's Association organized by the Seller in cooperation with the property owner(s) to address items such as road maintenance and snow plowing of Harbor Creek Drive will commence. Stony Creek is one of the most attractive features of this lot offering a beautiful view, easy access and an incredible vantage point to observe the wild inhabitants (including deer, beaver, herons, fox, eagles, hawks and numerous songbirds to name a few) that utilize the resources of this area. The Creek is a 'Public Fishing Stream' which gives anglers the right to walk along the bank, for fishing only. The most popular fish species are Chinook (King) and Coho Salmon, Steelhead and Rainbow Trout. The predominate tree species along the bank of the creek include: hickory, basswood, sugar and red maple, red oak and hemlock. Henderson Harbor is the Heart of 'the Golden Crescent', the largest freshwater bay in the world. Fishing is plentiful including bass, perch, pike, bullhead, steelhead, lake trout and salmon. There is a public boat access site ~1 mile away off County Route 178 as well as boat docking and storage at the adjacent Harbors End Marina.

A home in 'Harbor Meadows' would make a comfortable and private seasonal recreational destination for a retired couple, or a great place to raise a family looking for a more secluded site in the country with access to the many cultural and recreational options available in Northern New York and nearby Canada. This is an exceptional building lot package, offered at an attractive price. If the purchaser is interested in additional lots within the subdivision, the seller will consider selling combinations at a reduced price as well as owner financing.
