These 25 acres are the perfect property to put down roots and enjoy the Adirondack homesteading experience. In fact, the property was once settled and farmed, with small clearings and second-growth evergreens and hardwoods covering about half of the acreage. The other half of the property is mature hardwoods, most of which is sugar maple, making an ideal situation to have a maple syrup sugarbush, a great Adirondack tradition. The hardwoods are also an excellent source of firewood to heat a home. The land fronts on a public road with utilities available.
The property is in the Tupper Lake Region, with the High Peaks region to the east and the Five Ponds Wilderness near Cranberry Lake to the west. Only a few minutes away are the Massawepie and Emporium conservation easements with several ponds and lakes offering great trout fishing, and miles of old roads and trails for mountain biking. Terrific paddling opportunities are also available in the immediate area on the Grass, Oswegatchie, and Raquette Rivers. The immediate region, offering recreational adventure, is vast and beautiful, in the midst of which one is able to live the traditional rural lifestyle on a one-of-a-kind Adirondack homestead acreage.
