Alder Brook Forest

Farm Description

Alder Brook Forest is a classic Adirondack recreational property that can provide much-needed relief from the grind of everyday life. Come up on the weekends and ride your ATV and snowmobiles. Fix up the cabin and stay for the weekend. Bring your friends, relax and hunt deer in the fall. Enjoy the great outdoor lifestyle that the southern Adirondacks and the Brant Lake Region offer throughout the four seasons of the year.

Key site features that add a great deal of recreational habitat appeal to the property include:

• One mile of frontage on Alder Brook, including a 10-acre scenic beaver flow providing critical food, water and cover for resident deer and other wildlife

• A four-acre secluded clearing in the heart of the property which is flanked by mountains with long westerly views toward Crane Mountain, an iconic regional peak located fourteen miles away.

• Great deer hunting opportunities with abundant cover, food, water and solitude - all key ingredients to prime Adirondack deer habitat.

• Home-built, rustic log cabin shell has been' framed in' and is situated in a prime spot in the four-acre clearing to enjoy sunsets over Crane Mountain. The roofline and rafters need significant repairs - this could be a fun restoration project for summer weekends and, once finished, used as a rustic weekend cabin getaway.

The property lies within a secluded basin between two ridgelines that flank its southern and eastern boundaries. Terrain is generally easy to navigate and generally rises as you go further east. The land starts out gently sloping and easy to walk, the 4-acre clearing is slightly sloped but generally flat, and the higher ground is located in the far eastern perimeter of the property.
