Property Maps

The property is located in the foothills of the southern Adirondack Park within the town of Stratford in Fulton County, NY. An historic "corridor" to the central Adirondacks, this scenic area features expansive forests, clear lakes, and small communities known for their rich textile-milling heritage. Fulton County is well-served by the NY Thruway (Interstate 90), facilitating access to major metropolitan centers throughout the Northeast. Situated 50 miles to the east is the capital city of Albany, NY, which offers an international airport and major medical facilities. New York City is located 3.5 hours to the south and Boston is located 3.5 hours to the east.

The property offers direct access to 148,000 acres of Adirondack public lands known as the Ferris Lake Wild Forest. This expansive stretch of forest preserve lands spans 232 square miles and is available for public outdoor recreation such as hiking, fishing and hunting. The southern reaches of the Ferris Lake Wild Forest competely surrounds the parcel, thus offering an undeveloped buffer of wilderness and a significant opportunity for a quiet, secluded, "private preserve" for the future ownership. The tract is situated near Middle Sprite Creek, a year-round stream that constitutes part of the historic Mohawk River watershed. Johnson Vly, a prominent wetland offering a rich diversity of plants and wildlife, lies just to the north. This unique ecosystem lies within the nearby NY State Forest Preserve and is just a short hike from the parcel.
