Water Access

Hudson River on western side, Papscanee Creek on the east. Campbell is part of a peninsula but like a true island - with access mostly by water, foot, or air, limited land. Has rare underwater rights under both the river and the creek, and a generous dock permit to expedite opening this resource for private and/or public use; farming ideal, also glamping. Directly across from a town park with boat launches and a kayak rental hub. Tentrees and Airbnb are interested.

Can the public be on the property as a part of the farm business?

Yes

Additional Information About This Property

Though part of a peninsula, Campbell is a virtual island. Access is a challenge but the opportunity of fertile land ideal for a winery, etc. due to a longer growing season on the river's edge or perhaps a goat or horse farm should be explored.
