Realtor Comments

This property is the perfect Christmas gift and a rare chance to own approximately 690 feet of private river frontage on the St. Regis River. Set on 3.3 secluded acres, it offers a year round retreat where you can ice skate on your own river in winter, enjoy nearby snow sports, and fish in complete privacy during warmer months. The river features a very deep swimming area as well as a wide shallow section that is ideal for fishing. The land includes cleared open areas, wooded sections for added privacy, and mature berry bushes that make the property even more inviting. The home is ideal for a buyer who wants to complete the final phase of a renovation. All major improvements have already been done, including a new drilled well and septic system, a new oil and wood combination furnace, new electrical service, new windows, and a new metal roof. The second floor is fully remodeled and features hardwood floors, a spacious primary suite with an elegant en suite bath that includes a claw foot soaking tub, separate shower, and heated towel bars. A second smaller bedroom was used as a nursery. The first floor has a roughed in laundry area and the seller had planned a new kitchen layout and a rear addition that would allow for more bedrooms or expanded living space. A newly built two story barn measuring approximately fifty by thirty feet offers outstanding possibilities for business use, storage, hobbies, or potential conversion into living space. With acreage, privacy, significant updates already completed, a deep swimming area, an ideal shallow fishing area, a blend of cleared and wooded land, mature berry bushes, and exceptional river frontage, this property is a standout choice for a private getaway or year-round living.

Very Affordable Cost of Living

  • Overall cost of living — including housing, groceries, transportation, and utilities — is below the national average, making day-to-day expenses more manageable.

Affordable Housing

  • Median home values in Winthrop are much lower than the New York state average, and rental costs also tend to be relatively affordable for the region.

  • A large majority of residents own their homes rather than rent, which can indicate community stability and long-term residence.

Small-Town, Quiet Lifestyle

  • Independent crime analysis shows low crime rates compared with national and state averages, suggesting a generally safe environment.


Cons of Living in Winthrop, NY

Limited Local Amenities

  • Many everyday needs — shopping, entertainment, dining, and services — are not close by and often require driving, as there are fewer amenities within walking distance.

Commute & Transportation

  • Public transit options are limited, and residents commonly experience longer than average commutes for work and errands.

Employment Challenges

  • Local employment opportunity scores are relatively low, with lower household incomes and higher unemployment levels compared to other areas.

Schools & Education Resources
