Within New York’s Adirondack Park, land bordering state land is a valuable investment because it provides private access to vast public recreational lands and wildlife habitats, ensures a sense of privacy and tranquility, and it is forever-protected from development and urban sprawl.
If you’re considering buying land in the Adirondack Park, here are five reasons to consider property that borders state land.
5 Reasons to Buy Adirondack Land Bordering State Land
Properties with direct access to protected state lands are highly sought after by outdoor enthusiasts due to their undeveloped views and access to recreational activities, wildlife and untouched nature.
More Space for Less
Your backyard effectively extends for hundreds or even thousands of acres into the adjacent state land, providing you with more room to roam without the additional tax burden or purchase price. This eliminates the need to travel to public access points, making the land more convenient and desirable for outdoor enthusiasts.
Recreational Opportunities
You gain immediate, private access to pristine lakes, rivers and mountains for recreational activities, including hiking, hunting, fishing, kayaking, camping, mountain biking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. And because state land is protected, you get the added benefit of an untouched, natural environment.
Access to Wildlife
Adjoining a large tract of protected wilderness ensures better habitat connectivity, providing a more diverse and consistent presence of wildlife, including whitetail deer, black bear, fox, beaver, otter, bobcat, coyote, bald eagle and loon. There are more than 50 known species of mammals in the Adirondack Park and 35 species of amphibians and reptiles, as well as many birds.
Protection from Development
State land in the Adirondack Park is largely protected from development by the New York State Constitution. Known as the “Forever Wild” clause, it prohibits protected lands from being leased, sold or developed, permanently preserving the scenic beauty and serenity of the area around your property and ensuring undeveloped views of the surrounding mountains and wilderness.
Privacy & Tranquility
Few places remain that offer a true escape from the hustle and bustle of life, but the Adirondack Park is one of them. With no neighbors on one or more sides, and the adjacent state land Constitutionally-protected from future development, property bordering state land provides enhanced privacy and a sense of seclusion.
