Description
Rare opportunity to purchase an exceptional property, formerly a large scout camp, offering the ideal natural setting and infrastructure for a group camp facility or family compound on over six square miles of the renowned pristine Adirondack wilderness. This unique property’s focal points are its two lakes which are fully contained within the property boundaries: 400-acre Lake McRorie and 60-acre Mud Pond. Over 20 outbuildings are available, including several historic buildings dating from the original estate as well as modern buildings supporting group camp activities, while a comprehensive trail system provides access throughout the property. Well over 3000 acres of productive Adirondack forests offer the new owner significant timber assets and income potential with marketable timber both now as well as well managed for future harvests. A 2015 timber valuation assessed the timber assets at over $2.5 million, from which there have been no further harvests to date. This is also a unique opportunity for the new owner to steward and protect this precious natural resource, through the established conservation easement in partnership with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, which limits future development of protected areas within the property, protects its waters and biodiversity, and allows for limited public recreational access to portions of the property. Amenities are available within 3.2 miles of nearby Long Lake, 90 minutes from Lake George, and less than 4.5 miles from NYC/George Washington Bridge. More detailed information is available and more photos will be posted soon.
