The lot is set up for maximum privacy from the home site.  There is sixty feet of vegetation barrier required between this home site and the one next door (the thirty foot lot barrier is not required facing outward). I don't think there will ever be a house there because the next door neighbor on that side built down near the road.  Heavy forest exists in these areas.  The lot has good privacy - however it is not isolated.  The land behind the home site is aromatically wooded.  There is about an acre of pretty level woods included in the home site.  So there is room for a nice barn, pool, or whatever you want back there. But those woods are so nice you might want to just have an outdoor living room there! It is kind of a magical space.

The driveway is roughed in.  This means that there is now a dirt road that will work best with four wheel drive vehicles.  I am told by a Realtor that ten loads of #4 stone, at $120 per load, will create a good year round base for a driveway. I get the feeling he has had or seen a bunch of driveways built.  I once bought one hundred eighty tons of rock for my home in Virginia.  It cost me around three thousand dollars delivered.  On a dry day a good truck driver could spread the rock over the roughed in driveway.

The lot really feels a part of the Adirondack Mountains.  You can feel the Adirondack spirit and sense of adventure as you drive in.  You get to drive through a nice chunk of your Adirondack woods to get to the home site.

You may want to pave the driveway.  That costs more than the price of rocking the driveway but then you have the best surface.  (When I lived in the Adirondacks full time I found it best to have four wheel drive with four studded snow tires in the winter months.)  

There is a chance that the water line from lot 3 could be brought to the home site and shared (cost and water).  This would be up to the buyer of lot 3.  He sounded interested in this.  Otherwise a well can be drilled on the lot.  The electricity (and a transformer) is at the road.

The land survey is below.  

This year Gore Mountain Ski Area (a large and popular ski area eight miles away) has gotten approvals and budget to complete the connection between the historic North Creek Ski Bowl (adding a new quad chairlift and snowmaking). Work has begun on new trails and a lift line!   I just read in the paper that the new lift has been delivered.  Night skiing has already begun utilizing last year's new triple chair on the outside of the downtown area of North Creek.  These improvements should be very good for the entire area.  [Article]  Gore Mountain Ski Area will then be the sixth largest ski area in the east. 

There is a lot more work on the drawing board.  The North Creek Ski Train sounds like it is going to be a reality again soon too. Excitement is really in the North Creek air!

White water rafting is also big on the Hudson River.  Mountain biking and gondola rides are done on Gore Mountain during the summer season.  My favorite pastime is just driving around this entire beautiful area taking photos and marveling over the countryside.

This land is in the town Winslow Homer painted many of his famous Adirondack landscapes while a member of the North Woods Club.  The Club is still here.  Most all of the natural beauty is still around too.

This parcel is quite special.  There are wonderful forest aromas.  This is a unique area to live a significant portion of your life.  The Adirondack Park is quite a novel place.  It has a beauty and charm that really seems to have carried over from the past.  There are other lots for sale locally but not with the personality of this lot.  I have owned the land since 1990.  I just live too far away now to enjoy it.
