About this property

With commanding views of the Hoosick Valley, the Green Mountains, and Bennington, Vermont, this 39.25- Surveyed acres in White Creek, NY, feels secluded and remote, yet close to everything. Site your new home within the expansive pasture lands, or instead tuck it into the mature hardwood forest at a higher elevation, to take advantage of even more stunning views.A portion of the property, the main access, is located in the Town of Hoosick. Access is from State Route 67, where there is electric available, by way of a 50-foot-wide fee-owned strip of land. The access is currently seasonal and unimproved, but manageable with an SUV or truck. The pasture, which occupies ~17 acres, is a well-maintained asset. It has the potential for developing multiple home sites with panoramic, long-distance views, as well as the possibility of creating a pond to add additional aesthetic appeal and wildlife habitat. Even after building your dream home, there would still be plenty of productive pasture remaining. While the pasture is currently maintained by a local farmer, producing round-bale hay, it is not encumbered by any legal restrictions; there is no agricultural lease in place. The ~22 acres of forest on the property, which have not been harvested for many decades, are comprised of magnificent, mature hardwood trees of oak, maple, and birch species. The commanding size of the hardwood trees offers an aesthetic value seldom found on forested parcels. The quality of the timber and mix of species provides an opportunity to generate immediate income by harvesting some of these mature trees, and at the same time to practice long-term forest management that improves forest health, promotes growth of residual trees, and maintains aesthetic qualities.
