Multiple development opportunities exist with this half acre parcel, situated on the shores of Queechy Lake, including water rights and direct water access. Consider either a commercial or residential venture-all possible with town discussions and eventual planning board approval. Originally a lakefront restaurant/bar, plans are in place for a reimagined dining facility. Fully approved and permitted septic plans included. While currently zoned residential, the town would be supportive in seeing this local institution ''come back to life''. Imagine serving dinners lakeside or welcoming boaters to one of the docks for a refreshing lemonade!! This is the amazing opportunity that awaits one's vision in reviving the nostalgic Backwater Grill restaurant. If bringing back a local institution doesn't fit your plans, develop this lakefront half acre parcel into a beautiful waterfront home. The property is one of the last remaining residential properties situated directly on the shores of Queechy Lake - considered one of the most pristine lakes in NY State. Enjoy the privacy of your lake setting with opportunity to moor a boat or directly access the lake for swimming, kayaking or paddle boarding. With so much of the planning work already completed, it's time to put ''hammer to nail'' and bring an all-new Backwater Grill back to the anticipating public. It's also an opportunity to compliment the work and vision taking place up the road at the former Queechy Lake Motel. What a dynamic duo for Canaan and the visiting public has never been so fortunate!
