L 11.5 Military Tpke Ellenburg Depot, NY 12935

This 53.11-acre property, known as Altona Bucks and Birds, is located where the Adirondack foothills meet the St. Lawrence Valley, offering prime hunting and recreational opportunities for deer, birds, and bears. The land has been surveyed, with monumented corners and blazed, painted boundary lines. It features favorable zoning, with the roadside zoned as Industrial-Commercial (I/C) and the remaining acreage as Rural Use (RU). Both zoning types permit single-family homes and allow for other uses with further consideration. An east-west powerline right-of-way (ROW) occupies approximately 11 acres, with the ground beneath owned by the seller and transferring with the property. Full access is available across and under the ROW, with potential for developing productive food plots to enhance hunting. This ROW provides direct access to several hundred miles of snowmobile trails throughout northern Adirondack counties. The topography is level to rolling, featuring an unnamed perennial creek near the western boundary, a tributary to the North Branch Great Chazy River, potentially harboring native brook trout. Two other smaller streams are present, one perennial at the eastern end and another in the middle of the property, suitable for constructing a pond. The forest, harvested 20-30 years ago, has evolved into a young forest of red and sugar maple, white and gray birch, and popple, providing suitable habitat for ruffed grouse, white-tailed deer, and black bear. An old hunting camp at the front of the property is a tear-down, while an elevated hunting blind at the powerline ROW requires a new roof. The property is close to nearly 900 acres of the Spring Brook State Forest and minutes from the North Branch Great Chazy River. It is located half an hour from the City of Plattsburgh on Lake Champlain, one hour from Lake Placid, 30 minutes from Plattsburgh International Airport, just over an hour from Trudeau International Airport in Montreal, and 15 minutes from the Quebec border.
