Discover your own private North Country retreat on 58.32 beautifully maintained wooded acres just outside the Adirondack Park. Offering an impressive combination of privacy, recreation and modern comfort, this property is ready for its next owner to enjoy from day one.
The land is a standout feature. More than 150 feet of elevation change creates varied terrain with scenic rock outcroppings, mature hemlock, pine, maple and hardwoods, along with natural wetland areas that provide excellent wildlife habitat. An extensive network of maintained trails winds throughout the property, with many trails wide enough for side-by-side and UTV access.
Hunters will appreciate four established hunting stands and abundant wildlife, including whitetail deer, black bear, turkey, fox, coyotes and bobcats. Whether your interests include hunting, hiking, trail riding, wildlife watching or simply having nearly 60 acres of your own to explore, this property offers tremendous recreational potential.
The location makes it an excellent four-season getaway. The property is near Trout Lake, the Oswegatchie River and extensive snowmobile trails, providing opportunities for fishing, boating, snowmobiling and exploring Northern New York throughout the year.
Unlike many recreational land offerings, this property already includes a comfortable, well-maintained home filled with North Country character. Features include Adirondack rough-cut siding, custom pine cabinetry, mahogany countertops, a cedar ceiling in the primary bath, custom basswood blinds and a cozy Jøtul propane stove. A spacious loft provides additional sleeping space, making the home well suited for family and guests.
And while you'll feel tucked away in the woods, fiber-optic internet provides the connectivity needed for remote work, streaming and everyday life.
A heated, fully powered shed provides additional storage and workspace. Major improvements include a complete new roof in 2014 with 5/8-inch T&G Zip System sheathing and 40-year metal roofing, a tankless gas water heater and complete new septic system in 2023, and new LVP flooring in the kitchen, second bedroom and second bath in 2024.
The property has been thoughtfully maintained from the home and outbuildings to the trails and grounds. Numerous furnishings, appliances and equipment will convey, allowing the next owner to begin enjoying the property immediately. Additional tractors and recreational vehicles are available separately.
Whether you're searching for a hunting property, recreational retreat, second home, North Country getaway or private year-round residence with substantial acreage, 181 Bancroft Road offers a combination that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
