Cheap Land in New York near Lake Ontario
Check out this flat, cleared, and build-ready 4.9 acres of pasture land in the rural countryside just south of Albion and Lake Ontario.
- Very Buildable: Flat, Clear, No Wetlands
- Very Light Restrictions (Rural zoning)
- Paved Road Frontage
- Power & Water Available
- Bountiful Rivers Nearby; Just 23 Minutes to Lake Ontario
- Priced about 21% Below Market
PROPERTY: This 4.9 acres of cleared pasture land features about 203 feet of direct frontage on South Manning Road, a paved public road. There are no structures on site, but power and water does run along the road frontage so the whole package is very ready for your development. It’s ready for almost anything, in fact, because the Rural/Agricultural zoning which applies here allows for a wide spectrum of uses. The lot is generally flat with no wetlands encroachments, so it’s very buildable. This countryside neighborhood is lightly populated and very peaceful, yet within minutes of vital cities like Albion, which lies just 14 minutes away and offers critical retail like Walmart. When you’re ready for natural adventure, slip a boat into one of America’s Great Lakes — Lake Ontario — less than 25 minutes down the road, or go salmon fishing in Oak Orchard Creek. Very near to the Oak Orchard Dam is the Iruquois National Wildlife Refuge, considered one of western New York’s best kept secrets. On the flip side, the world famous Niagara Falls is no secret but it’s grandeur is undeniable and awaits you just over an hour away, accompanied by the bustling city of Buffalo. All in all, this lot places you ever-so comfortably in that “Goldilocks” zone — close enough to the big city when you need it, but far enough away for the peace and serenity you crave.

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
OWNER FINANCING: We do not offer owner-financing but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.
OUTSIDE FINANCING: We recommend Five Star Bank in Albion, phone # 585.589.5555, as your best option for a land loan. They require 35% down and prefer credit scores of at least 700.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
