Rock St Vermontville, NY 12989

This 175+/- acre Adirondack timberland property offers opportunities for outdoor recreation, residential development, and timberland investment. It is accessed via a well-maintained right-of-way from the west side of Rock Street, less than a quarter mile from Union Falls Pond. The property is located approximately 16 miles from the village of Saranac Lake and Whiteface Mountain Ski Area, with Lake Placid slightly further away. It adjoins the 53,000-acre Taylor Pond Wild Forest and is situated in close proximity to many of the key recreational amenities of the Adirondacks high peaks region. A 2024 timber inventory indicates 5.4 MBF of sawlogs and pallet with 13.8 cords of pulpwood (24.6 gross cords) per forested acre, presenting an immediate opportunity for harvest removals of spruce/fir softwood. The property also features pockets of maple, birch, and cherry. It is protected by a conservation easement held by the Adirondack Land Trust that encourages ongoing forest management and private recreational uses. A 17+/- acre development envelope has been designated (east of the power line), allowing for the construction of a 2,000 sq ft residential structure with an additional guest cottage, accessory building, related utilities, and well and septic in service of allowable structures. The property is located inside the Adirondack Park with an APA-designated land classification of ''low intensity'' which allows for residential development with appropriate APA-permitting. An October 2024 forest management plan is prepared for potential enrollment in New York's 480A forest tax program.
