Introducing the Ausable Sand Plains; 736 acres of forested recreational land located near Wilmington, Jay and Lake Placid, the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks, directly abutting nearly 1,200 acres of State Forest Preserve with access to the West Branch of the Ausable River with breathtaking views of Whiteface and surrounding mountains.
The property has several gated access points from Silver Lake Road, a paved, year ‘round county road. Primary and secondary interior roads are suitable for ATV’s, off-road biking and hiking. Electric utilities are available along the road frontage. There is a 57.4-acre, irregular shaped, inholding with deeded access owned by the Ausable Forks Water District as shown on the listing maps. Mineral rights were reserved on the entire tract under previous ownership. 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. Boundary lines are easily identifiable, blazed and painted (red) as required under the 480a program.
