Friends Lake Road, Chestertown, NY 12817

This offering consists of approximately 337 acres of waterfront and recreation land along the Upper Hudson River. The property includes nearly 2,200 feet of river frontage and an existing woods road reached via a right-of-way through parcel 119.-2-16, providing access to and along the shoreline. Off-grid camp and tenting locations are described as available within hundreds of feet of the river. The land is also characterized by managed woodland with timber diversity and varied wildlife habitat, including hemlock and pine for winter cover and red oak providing an important food source.

Road access is described via approximately 4,500 feet of road frontage on Friends Lake Road with electric. While the property has significant road frontage, the documented access into the land is through parcel 119.-2-12 via a deeded 50-foot right-of-way, which is also stated to serve as public access to an adjacent northern block of State land. The property is adjacent to nearly 1,600 acres of State Forest Preserve, providing access for hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping.

For buyers seeking a backcountry-style parcel with both river frontage and proximity to large public lands, this property’s layout and described right-of-way access are central considerations. Approximately 188 acres are under Fisher 480 forest tax law, with the stated requirement of a 6% severance tax on timber stumpage yield from timber sales, while the remaining acreage along the road frontage is described as not under Fisher 480. Nearby conveniences are noted as being within about 4.5 miles of Chestertown, 11 miles to Warrensburg, and 15 miles to the slopes of Gore Mountain.
