The rurual village of Dannemora is home to the Clinton Correctional Facility and is known as a bedroom community to the city of Plattsburg, situated just 15 miles east. Montreal, Canada is conveniently located 1 hour north. Burlington, VT lies 1.5 hours east and is accessible by ferry across Lake Champlain.

The property is situated along a year-round stream named Behan Brook, whose headwaters form on nearby Dannemora Mountain. Tract highlights include scenic long-range views of Lake Champlain and Vermont, southeastern exposure ideal for morning sunlight, and moderate terrain that is accessible for outdoor recreational enjoyment. Once an historic farmstead, remnants of granite stone walls and evidence of a barn foundation can be found on the property and add to the heritage and character of the land.

Benefitting from a history of stewardship and professional forest management, the property's timber component broadens its recreational and residential amenities. A recent silvicultural thinning was conducted in February of 2007, and targeted the removal of low grade trees, leaving the best stem quality for future investment. With favorable species composition, high stem quality and strong vigor, this long-term resource is well-positioned for attractive value growth and currently provides outstanding recreational, residential and wildlife amenities.
