Ausable View Parcels – Lot #1
Property Details
Location
The Ausable View Parcels are located along New York Route 9N in the northeastern part of the Adirondack Park. The Ausable River is considered one of the highest quality trout fishing rivers in New York State, and the surrounding area is well known as the northeastern entrance to the Adirondack High Peaks region. The Village of Ausable Forks is an 8-mile drive south on Route 9N, where there are several restaurants, stores, and small hotels. The region’s commercial center, Plattsburgh, is a 25-minute drive north, where there is a large university, a hospital, and an international airport. Montreal is a 1.5-hour drive north. Additionally, Whiteface Mountain Ski Resort is 40 minutes to the west.
Access
The three parcels can all be accessed via frontage along Route 9N; however, Lots #1 and #2 have an additional access point from Cold Spring Road to the north, where an old logging road leads into the properties along their shared border. There are multiple ATV and old logging trails throughout Lots #1 and #2. Lot #1 would likely be best accessed from Cold Spring Road for a house site, while Lot #2 can be accessed easily from either Route 9N, where there is an existing large, cleared pull-off, or Cold Spring Road. Lot #3 has 1,600 feet of frontage along Route 9N, as well as 1,900 feet of frontage along the Ausable River. There is power readily available for all three parcels.
Property Description
Lot #1 would be best accessed for a house site via the northern side of the property off Cold Spring Road. From there, an existing ATV trail leads to a large level area on a bluff above the river valley where, with limited tree thinning, there would be expansive views over the Ausable River.
Lot #2 enjoys easy access from both Route 9N, where there is an existing pull-off and parking area, as well as from Cold Spring Road. The best building sites would either be close to Route 9N, utilizing the existing entrance to the property, or along its northern border, where the terrain is relatively flat. There are multiple ATV and old logging trails throughout the property. Additionally, there are very unique terrain features in the mid-section of the land where there are dramatic ravines punctuated by interesting plateau areas.
Lot #3 has approximately 1,900 feet of direct frontage along the Ausable River. The lot, although it does have permissible building sites close to Route 9N, would make for an excellent private fishing and recreational property. There is an existing cleared pull-off on the northern end of the property, where it is a short walk down to the river. The riverbank is flat and easy to traverse with multiple eddies and a small island close to shore. There are dramatic views of the river and the valley upstream and downstream.
Lots #1 and #2 could be further subdivided, and as such, the three lots together could make for an interesting development opportunity with houses on the bluff and shared access to the river.
