Property Description
Two Adjoining Parcels – Each 115' × 138' (Total 0.7286?±?acres) – Near Swinging Bridge Reservoir, Bethel NY
Fantastic opportunity to own a pair of wooded parcels totaling approximately 0.73 acres in the rural Town of Bethel. Located just a short drive from the scenic Swinging Bridge Reservoir—popular for boating, fishing, and summer recreation—this property is perfect for a seasonal escape.
Location & Highlights
Each lot measures 115 feet wide by 138 feet deep.
Combined acreage: ~0.7286 acres.
Very close to Swinging Bridge Reservoir—a public marina, fishing spots, and boating access
Quiet, wooded surroundings ideal for nature lovers or outdoor enthusiasts.
Zoning & Land-Use / Building Potential
Zoned Forest Conservation (FC) within the Town of Bethel .
In FC zones, 5-acre minimums are standard; your total of ~0.73 acres is below that threshold .
However, the Town's zoning law supports rural, low-impact uses:
Light recreational use—hiking, camping, picnicking.
Accessory structures: sheds, hunting cabins, small off-grid shelters—subject to setbacks and typical accessory use rules, and may need a permit
Farming, home gardens.
Building a permanent dwelling will likely require a variance for minimum lot size. A shed, small cabin, or similar outbuilding, especially without plumbing or electricity, might be allowed by right—or with a simple permit process.
What You Can Do Now
Enjoy recreational use and outdoor living.
Use for agricultural or hobby farming purposes.
Later apply for variances or site plan review to build a full-time residence if desired.
Zoning Overview
District: Forest Conservation (FC)
Min. lot size: 5 acres (existing combined 0.73 acres are substandard)
Permitted uses: Non-intensive recreation, accessory buildings, farming
Build potential: Accessory structures permitted; permanent homes require variances
These two parcels offer a serene and private setting, just steps from water recreation on the Swinging Bridge Reservoir. Ideal for nature retreats. Want to build a full-time house? A variance will be necessary—but the groundwork is laid in this peaceful, forested environment.
Note: There are paper trails leading to these parcels.
