0.61 ACRE CORNER LOT FOR SALE IN YORK COUNTY, PA | LEVEL, NEAR ROUTE 30 & SUSQUEHANNA RIVER
This 0.61-acre corner lot at 6554 Schimmel Lane sits half a mile from Route 30 and about a mile and a half from the Susquehanna River. It’s level ground: the whole parcel varies only about 12 feet in elevation, with an average slope under 5% per county data. There’s no flood zone and no wetlands, which matters this close to the river.
It’s zoned Residential (R) in Hellam Township, at 26,406 square feet. There’s no public water or sewer at the lot, so a home would need a drilled well and an on-lot septic system, which means a perc test. Hellam’s R zone lists public water and sewer as a requirement, so before purchase, confirm with the township whether on-lot systems are permitted here and what a permit would take.
Distances, straight-line from the lot:
Route 30, about 0.5 miles, for York to the west and Lancaster across the river
Sue’s Food Market in Wrightsville, about 1.2 miles
Wrightsville Riverfront Park, about 1.5 miles, for river views, fishing and walking paths by the Veterans Memorial Bridge
Eastern York High School, about 2.2 miles
Weis Markets in Columbia, about 4 miles, for full groceries
Downtown York is about 10 miles away, downtown Lancaster about 13, Harrisburg about 24, and Baltimore about 51, straight-line.
Taxes are $1,126 a year (2026, per York County), and there’s no HOA.
$80,000. Deed transfers at closing through a licensed title company.
