83 Gallows Hill Road, Cortlandt Manor, NY 10567

83 Gallows Hill Road – A Buildable .9289 Acre Parcel in Cortlandt Manor.
Set along the established and well-traveled Gallows Hill Road sits a rare chance to secure nearly an acre of residential land in Cortlandt Manor. This parcel, measuring .9289 acres (40,463 sq. ft.), is zoned R-40, which requires a minimum of 40,000 sq. ft. to build. With just over that threshold, the property offers exactly what’s needed to create a custom single-family home in a location that balances convenience with privacy. Zoning & Setbacks. The R-40 zoning provides generous parameters for development. Required setbacks include: 50 ft. from the road (front setback). 30 ft. from the rear property line (rear setback). Side setbacks equal to 20% of the lot’s width, up to a maximum of 30 ft. These requirements allow for a home site that respects neighboring properties while still offering flexibility in design and placement. Utilities & Approvals. Town water is available, simplifying one of the most important pieces of the building process. For wastewater, a septic system will be required, with approval through the Westchester County Board of Health (BOH).
Location Advantages. 83 Gallows Hill Road combines the charm of a suburban neighborhood with the ease of access that modern buyers seek. From here, shopping, dining, schools, and parks are all nearby, while major highways and Metro-North stations provide direct routes into Manhattan. It’s the kind of location that offers both daily convenience and long-term investment value.
Why This Lot Stands Out. Vacant land in Westchester is increasingly scarce, particularly parcels that meet zoning requirements with clear, buildable potential. This lot is just the right size, with the essentials in place—ample square footage, available town water, straightforward setbacks, and the option for BOHA approval. For buyers seeking to build their dream home or investors looking to secure land in a supply-constrained market, this property checks all the boxes. The Bottom Line
83 Gallows Hill Road is more than just a parcel—it’s a blank canvas ready for vision and design. With .9289 acres of R-40 zoned land, available utilities, and BOHA potential, this lot represents a rare and valuable opportunity in Cortlandt Manor.
