Property Description
Large acreage waterfront property with a custom log cabin, stunning views, fields, timber, trail network, pond and 1 mile of frontage on the Champlain Canal. Sitting at the end of a dead-end road lies this incredible property. The 2,768 sq.' custom log cabin is perched on a hill overlooking sweeping fields and the mountains beyond to the West with no neighbors in sight. Extending across the front of the house is a massive 12' x 46' deck where you can take in the views. The 5-bedroom, 2.5 bath log cabin features an open concept floor plan and rustic features throughout. The entryway has an inviting built in window seat, plenty of room for coats/boots and a half bath. Cathedral ceilings in the great room with massive windows create an open and bright space while the large stone fireplace adds to the rustic character. The kitchen sits just off the great room with access to the deck. The large first-floor primary suite includes a full bath and walk-in closet. Upstairs there are 4 additional bedrooms and a full bath. The basement has plenty of space for storage and is set up as a game room. A gated entrance provides security to the rest of the property and the 3 barns are suitable for a multitude of uses. The large metal pole barn (24' x 60') has a poured cement floor and is perfect for storing equipment, tractors and ATV's. The larger wooden barn (30' x 32') could easily be converted for horses, cows or other livestock with a frost-free water hydrant present. The property stretches north along the Champlain Canal with nearly 1 mile of water frontage. Perched on the bank of the Canal is a screened in gazebo where you can sit and relax. From the dock you can go fishing, canoeing, kayaking and boating. The Champlain Canal is a 60-mile canal that connects the Hudson River to the south end of Lake Champlain. For those with sturdy sea-legs and a sense of adventure you could can sail from this property all the way to the Atlantic Ocean and all points beyond. It's not uncommon to watch as beautiful boats make their way through the canal. There are 13 separate clover fields which are leased for hay production to a large farm from the area. A trail network runs throughout the property and provides miles and miles of trails for hiking, ATV's or horseback riding. Hunters and outdoorsmen take notice...from fishing in the canal to hunting this property has everything you can ever need for a lifetime of hunting enjoyment. Excellent mast crop from the Oak trees scattered throughout the property provide acorns in good production years. Deer and turkey were witnessed throughout the property while taking photos. Heavily worn, trails, beds, and rubs show consistent use. The terrain on the property is completely level along the canal and western side of the property with elevation rising in the north east corner of the property. The first hilltop reaches an elevation of 280' and extends up to the top of the mountain at a highpoint of 480'. The northeast corner of the property features some very distinct rock outcroppings and fun hiking opportunities for the adventurous. There is roughly 157 acres of timber with a 70/30 mix of hard to softwood consisting of Maple, Red Oak, Cherry, Beach, White Birch, and Ash along with Hemlock and White Pine. There is a considerable amount of marketable timber available on the property. The high volume of maple trees yields maple syrup every year. Wood Creek meanders through the North East corner of the property provided travel south from Fort Ticonderoga for the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. Stunning beauty, endless recreation opportunities and complete privacy this property has it all. There is an 1800's era farmhouse on the property but it is not habitable.
