10 acre Building Lot in Dryden NY Ferguson Road in the Finger Lakes Region

Bring your vision to life on this exceptional 10-acre property located in the Village of Dryden NY, Tompkins County. 

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a prime 10-acre development parcel in the heart of New York’s Finger Lakes region. Formerly approved for a 16-lot residential subdivision, this property offers an outstanding opportunity for a builder, developer, or investor to continue a project with much of the initial site work already completed.

Significant infrastructure improvements have already been completed, including a gravel access road extending through the property from Ferguson Road to Hilton Road, providing convenient pass-through access from one end of the property to the other. Public water has been extended throughout the development with existing fire hydrants already in place, while public sewer has been extended into approximately the first one-third of the property from the Hilton Road entrance. High-speed internet is also available, adding to the property’s development readiness and reducing future infrastructure costs.

Situated on a gently rolling, mostly level hilltop overlooking the Village of Dryden, the property offers an attractive setting for residential construction while remaining within walking distance of many everyday conveniences. Grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants, the public library, parks, playgrounds, and other village amenities are all just a short stroll away.

The location is ideal for commuters and future homeowners alike, with Ithaca, Cornell University, Ithaca College, Cayuga Lake, and Tompkins Cortland Community College all within approximately a 15-minute drive. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the property’s close proximity to both the Dryden Lake Trail and the Jim Schug Trail, offering miles of scenic walking and biking along a former railroad corridor.

Whether your vision is to revive the previously approved subdivision or pursue another permitted use, this property presents exceptional potential in one of the Finger Lakes’ most desirable and growing communities. Buyers are encouraged to consult with the Village of Dryden regarding current zoning regulations, permitted uses, and the current status or applicability of the previously approved subdivision approvals.

Sketch plans and previous site plans are available upon request. Owner financing may be available for qualified buyers.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a builder, contractor, or developer to capitalize on the substantial groundwork already completed and bring a new residential vision to life.

Don’t miss this opportunity to invest in one of the Finger Lakes region’s most promising development properties.
