Description
Large acreage waterfront property with a custom log cabin, stunning views, fields, timber, a trail network, a pond, and 1 mile of frontage on the Champlain Canal. Sitting at the end of a dead-end road lies this incredible property with an unheard-of level of privacy and opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. The 2,768 sq.’ custom log cabin is perched on a hill at the south end of the property overlooking sweeping fields and the mountains beyond to the West. Extending across the front of the house is a massive 12’ x 46’ deck where you can sit and take in the views or enjoy a barbecue. The 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath log cabin features an open-concept floor plan and rustic details throughout. The entryway and mudroom area has an inviting built-in window seat, plenty of room for coats and boots, and a half bath. Cathedral ceilings in the great room with massive windows create an open and bright space, while the large stone fireplace adds to the rustic character. The kitchen sits just off the great room with access to the deck. The large first-floor primary suite includes a full bath and a walk-in closet. Upstairs, there are 4 additional bedrooms and a full bath. The basement has plenty of space for storage and is set up as a game room. A gated entrance provides security to the rest of the property. There are 3 barns in excellent shape, suitable for a multitude of uses. The largest metal pole barn (24’ x 60’) features a poured cement floor and is perfect for storing equipment, tractors, and ATVs. The largest of the other 2 barns (30’ x 32’) could easily be converted to hold horses, cows, or other livestock and includes a frost-free water hydrant. There is plenty of room for additional barns or an indoor riding arena for equestrian enthusiasts. The property stretches north along the Champlain Canal with nearly 1 mile of water frontage. Perched on the bank of the canal is a screened-in gazebo where you can sit, relax, and watch the boats go by. From the dock, you can go fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and boating. Imagine going down to your dock, where you could board a boat and sail all the way to Florida! The Champlain Canal is a 60-mile canal that connects the Hudson River to the south end of Lake Champlain. For those with sturdy sea legs and a sense of adventure, you can sail from this property all the way to the Atlantic Ocean and all points beyond. It’s not uncommon to watch as beautiful boats make their way past the property on the canal. There are 13 separate clover fields. The fields are currently leased to a large farm in the area for hay production. In addition to hay production, the fields could be fenced for pasture. A well-maintained trail network that runs throughout the property and provides miles and miles of trails for hiking, ATVs, or horseback riding. Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts take notice… from fishing in the canal to hunting, this property has everything you could ever need for a lifetime of hunting enjoyment. Secluded fields of clover provide high protein for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Excellent mast crop from the Oak trees scattered throughout the property provide acorns in good production years. Dense cover provides security and browse for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. There are numerous locations that could be set up for “staging plots” to capture movement on the way to the larger ag fields. The trails provide incredible access to all points of the property, and there are numerous locations that are perfect for tree stands or box blinds. Deer and turkey were witnessed throughout the property while taking photos. Heavily worn, trails, beds, and rubs show consistent use. The terrain on the property is completely level along the canal and the western side, with elevation rising in the northeast corner. The first hilltop reaches an elevation of 280’ and extends up to the top of the mountain at a high point of 480’. The northeast corner of the property features some very distinct rock outcroppings and fun hiking opportunities for the adventurous. The property has roughly 157 acres of timber with a 70/30 mix of hard and softwood, consisting of Maple, Red Oak, Cherry, Beech, White Birch, Ash, along with Hemlock and White Pine. There is a considerable amount of marketable timber available on the property. The high volume of maple trees yields maple syrup every year. Wood Creek meanders through the northeast corner of the property and has historical significance. During the Revolutionary War, Wood Creek waterway provided travel south from Fort Ticonderoga. Various skirmishes occurred on Wood Creek between British General Burgoyne and the Continental Army. Whether you are looking for a vacation home or a farm, this property has it all! Stunning beauty, endless recreation opportunities, a custom log cabin, and complete privacy. There is an 1800’s era farmhouse on the property, but it is not in a habitable condition.
