The property is located in the northeastern corner of New York's Adirondack Park in the historic town of Ticonderoga, Essex County. This scenic region is situated within the rolling Champlain Valley between Vermont's Green Mountains to the east and the rugged Adirondack High Peaks region to the west. The surrounding landscape consists of a patchwork of forested bluffs, open fields and working family dairy farms. Interstate 87 is located 17 miles to the west and links the region to several major northeastern US population centers. Burlington, VT is located 1 hour north, while Albany, NY is situated 2 hours south by car. New York City and Boston are located 4 hours to the south and east respectively.

The property lies along the northern flank of Three Brothers Mountain (known locally as Chilson Hill), a long ridge consisting of three prominent peaks which make up the high ground to the west of Lake Champlain. The westernmost peak forms the upper elevations of the tract, while the remaining property lies in a broad basin beneath its summit that slopes gradually to the north and east. This basin offers a private, picturesque setting, providing strong views of Lake Champlain and Vermont's Green Mountains to the east.

An attractive mix of high quality and fast-growing species is one of several key elements to consider when examining timberland investments. This property offers a solid long-term timber resource with a favourable species mix that is dominated by sugar maple (29% of total sawlog volume), white pine (28%) and red oak (12%). Combined, these three key species make up nearly 70% of the tract's total sawlog volume and represent nearly 80% of the total sawlog value, a factor which positions the property well for solid investment returns over the coming decades.
