Location
The property is situated on the municipal boundary between the towns of Horicon and Bolton Landing, New York, in the southern Adirondacks. The village of Bolton Landing, situated on Lake George, offers two public beaches, a public boat launch, and a variety of shopping and dining options, all just a 10-minute drive to the southeast. Additionally, within a 15-minute drive to the north, you can find public boat launches on Brant Lake, Loon Lake, and Schroon Lake.
This area also provides access to the Pharaoh Lakes Wilderness and thousands of acres of New York State Forest Preserve. The main commercial center of the region, Glens Falls, is a 30-minute drive to the south and includes a hospital and a small airport. Albany International Airport is located an hour's drive to the south. New York City is approximately three hours to the south, while Montreal is about 2.5 hours to the north.
Access
The property enjoys 330 feet of frontage along Alder Brook Road, a paved town-maintained road. There is an existing graveled driveway on the northern end of the property that leads to a roughed-in driveway, which climbs steeply to a clearing. Additionally, there is a logging road that bisects the lot and could be easily improved. There is currently no power at the road frontage, with the closest utility pole approximately 1,000 feet to the north.
Property Description
The land is ideal for a buyer seeking a rural building lot, with some existing infrastructure established, to use as a basecamp for exploring the multitude of recreational opportunities that characterize the Southern Adirondacks. From the road, the terrain is relatively flat, and there are several house site options. As one goes further west into the property, the grade steepens, then plateaus, where there is an existing clearing overlooking the Alder Brook Valley and surrounding mountains. The land has almost an exclusively south/southeast aspect, with the exception of the very top of the property, where the aspect starts to change toward the north/northeast, and there are filtered views of the southern foothills of the Adirondack High Peaks Region. The forest is dominated by 8”-12” Sugar Maples, evenly spaced with nice crowns. There are various locations on the property that, with limited tree thinning, would have dramatic mountain views, without a house in sight.
