Property Characteristics & Appraisal Considerations

Land value constitutes a significant portion of total property value in Chappaqua. Appraisers must carefully evaluate lot size, topography, wetland setbacks, and development potential. Septic systems and private wells are common on larger properties and can influence both value and comparability. The presence of conservation easements or protected wetlands may limit future development on certain parcels.
