0 Hardy Rd, Wilmington, NY 12997

Wooded property, located in the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks between Wilmington & Jay and close to Lake Placid with great recreational potential. Neatly thinned, park-like stands of mature and young pine. Adjacent 714-acre Forest Preserve-Wilmington Wild Forest adds greatly to the recreational opportunities from this site. The property is enrolled in NYS Section 480a of the Forest Tax Law, which allows for a significantly reduced assessment, resulting in lower taxes in return for long-term forest management. The west side of Hardy Road is high and dry, with a good network of logging trails that can easily double as ATV, mountain bike, or horse trails. The east side of the property is nearly flat, with trails from past forest management operations. The eastern portion of the property is bounded by Beaver Brook, a classified trout stream, and an expansive wetland complex, that is a tributary to the Ausable River. There are plenty of opportunities for siting a hunting cabin, hunting blinds, and/or food plots. With careful tree cutting at select locations and a favorable elevation, views of the High Peaks can be gained, from the Sentinel Range to the south and east.
