This week’s house is less about the house and more about the potential in the property. The interior of the seasonal camp at
3067 Gateway Road, Galway Lake is so bad the listing agent isn’t using pictures of it to promote the listing. It is a seasonal camp was built in the 1940s on piers and has three beds and one and a half bathrooms – presumably a tear-down. The interesting part is the land, a pretty big chunk of waterfront. The lot is 17 acres with two locations for lake access. Zoning in the area allows for a subdivision. Galway Lake is a private, 580-acre lake built as a reservoir for the city of Amsterdam in 1855 and now owned by the Galway Lake Campers Association. This property is in Weiss’s Grove; the homeowner association fee is $220 per year. Galway schools. Taxes: $3,731, list price: $525,000. Contact listing
