If you’re looking for a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, there’s truly no better escape than a cabin in the Adirondacks. Protected from urban sprawl by strict environmental laws, and preserved for its natural beauty, recreation and charm, the Adirondacks are one of the few places left that offer untouched nature and a break from hurried life.
While the mountain towns throughout the Adirondacks offer a variety of lodging options for vacationers, it’s simply not the same as building your very own cabin in the woods. From the quiet solitude and recreation right outside your cabin door to the investment and income opportunities, here are five benefits of owning a cabin in the Adirondacks.
- Privacy in Untouched Nature
The six-million-acre Adirondack Park features lush forests, mountains and pristine lakes and rivers, and nearly half of it is untouched beauty waiting to be explored. Forty-five percent of the park is protected as “Forever Wild” by the NYS Constitution, and the remaining fifty-five percent is private land. Tucked away in your Adirondack cabin, surrounded by picturesque solitude, you can disconnect from the world, relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature, or spend quality time with family and friends.
- Recreation
Year-round, the Adirondacks are a prime destination for exploring the outdoors, and your next adventure awaits right outside your cabin door. Popular recreational activities include hiking, mountain biking, fishing, birding, boating, canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, white-water rafting, and rock climbing. Winter activities include alpine and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and ice fishing.
- Make It Your Own
Unlike a resort, hotel, or vacation rental, you can design your Adirondack cabin around your needs and preferences, and in the location you want. From private mountain retreats and year-round lakefront homes to hunting camps, fishing lodges and ski chalets, Adirondack Mountain Land has acres of land for sale to build your dream cabin. We even have land for homesteading and maple sugaring, and acreage for building snowmobile, cross-country skiing and mountain bike trails.
- Long-Term Investment Opportunity
Buying land and building a cabin in the Adirondacks can save you hundreds of dollars on vacation lodging each year, and save you the hassle of searching for a property that’s the right fit for your needs. Owning an Adirondack cabin is also a great real estate investment. The land will continue to appreciate in the future and can be worth a significant amount in the coming years.
- Additional Source of Income
Owning a cabin in the Adirondacks can also present an opportunity to earn additional income. When you aren’t using your cabin, you can rent it out to other vacationers. According to a 2021 survey done by VRBO, 61% of families said they are more likely to visit an outdoor recreation destination over an urban destination, and cabins continue to be one of the most searched, and most desirable homes across Airbnb’s website and Instagram account.
