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.

This is an excellent opportunity to own a diverse property within the beautiful rural landscape of Washington County. The Scenic Sugar Bush property is 80.74 acres of mixed hardwood and softwood forest, including an active sugar bush hosting ~3,000 taps, with an estimated 800 more available. In addition to maple syrup production, the property offers spectacular views. From the frontage on State Route 149, the property gains 100 feet of elevation to a height of land that yields breathtaking vistas to the east of the Green Mountains in Vermont. Selective tree cutting could expand upon these views. Scenic Sugar Bush is accessed by a 50-foot-wide strip of fee land (not a right-of-way) from Route 149 that is easily traversed by any vehicle. Adjacent landowners along this 50-foot strip have rights of access to their respective properties. There is electric service available roadside on State Route 149. In addition, there is a residential electric right-of-way through the southwest corner of the property that could also provide electric service. The property is under Real Property Tax Law 480a, which offers very low taxes in return for proper, long-term forest management. There is a perennial creek along the western boundary that meanders through the property for over 1,600 feet. The property also has 2 vernal pools, which offer breeding grounds for invertebrates, amphibians, and reptiles, and that also serve as water sources for thirsty wildlife. A snowmobile trail passes through Scenic Sugar Bush from Rt 149, heading west towards Lee Road. This trail, C4D, which is maintained by the Granville Border Riders Snowmobile Club, offers direct access to miles of trail riding in NY and into Vermont. The Snowmobile Club and the Landowner have worked in tandem to route the main sap lines through culverts, in order to accommodate both snowmobiling and the sugar bush operation. There are abundant outdoor activities within easy striking distance.
