The location of this lot is by far one of the best kept secrets on all of Grand Island. Nestled at the extreme southern end of Grand Island, this wooded rare 200 foot wide lot is literally steps from Beaver Island State Park. At 426 feet deep along its northwest property line it boasts 1.6 acres and is one of the largest in this area. East Oakfield begins at the northern end of Baseline Road and runs approximately one mile to Bush Road where it becomes West River Road. A mere fifteen homes sit on the entire northeast side of East Oakfield, with nothing but State property on the opposite side of the road until its boundary at West Oakfield, also known as Grand Island’s Gold Coast. This lot, situated about midway between Baseline and Ferry Roads, sees very little traffic except to serve the few houses that are near it. An overhead view of the roads clearly shows why this road is so quiet and so devoid of traffic. A true outdoor enthusiast’s dream location, this lot, bathed in sunlight from its southwest exposure, sits at the beginning of the proposed West River Parkway Pedestrian/Bicycle Path. Walk out your front door and pedal or walk in complete safety to Beaver Island State Park and connect to the Beaver Island Parkway trail and the rest of Grand Island, or take the 8 mile trek down to Buckhorn State Park (and the rest of the trail system) and enjoy the panoramic river views along the way. The peace of mind obtained with knowing that your family can engage in these activities safely is priceless. Other unimproved Grand Island roads such as Ferry, Bush, Fix, Love, Staley, Whitehaven, Long, Bedell, East River, Ransom, etc. do not afford users anywhere near this level of safety. Active residents of those roads soon learn that they must take their life in their hands just to leave their driveway. This is by far one of the quietest stretches of rural road on Grand Island with virtually no thru traffic. The rear pedestrian entrance to Beaver Island State Park (no fee) is within view of the lot and only a one minute walk out your front door. Golf, disc golf, walking, biking, swimming, nature trails, watersports, a great marina to keep your boat (all season or transiently), cross country skiing, jogging, outdoor restaurant, etc. can keep the outdoor enthusiast happy all year round, and it’s just steps from your front door. Snowmobile enthusiasts will love the ability to ride out the driveway onto the West River Parkway Trail. This lot has none of the wetland issues (DEC letter available) that so many other Grand Island lots have. The Town of Grand Island water plant property abuts the rear property line and ensures no development will be occurring behind you. Don't miss out on this truly spectacular location. Possible owner financing and site help is available.
