This vast property offers an extraordinary blend of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and investment potential. At its core lies the exclusive 215-acre Little River Lake, providing unparalleled privacy and stunning scenic grandeur. The estate also features a meticulously managed timber resource, charming shoreline cabins, a historic dam, and abundant wildlife. Little River Lake stretches nearly two-and-a-half miles, bordered by 29,000 feet of picturesque shoreline. Its tranquil waters, with an average depth of 10 feet and a maximum of 30 feet, are home to thriving populations of largemouth bass and brook trout. The scenic mix of deciduous and coniferous trees along the shoreline elevates the lake to one of the finest offerings within the Adirondack Park—an idyllic setting for boating, fishing, and hiking. A standout feature of this estate is its historic dam, constructed in 1953 as part of the region's industrial heritage. This impressive earthen and rock structure spans over 1,400 feet and rises nearly 45 feet high. Originally built to support the nearby Benson Mines' iron ore operations, the dam presents a unique opportunity for hydropower generation, adding significant value for future development. Still in good condition, the dam could be repurposed for clean energy production, transforming Little River Lake Forest into not just a scenic retreat but also a forward-thinking investment in sustainable resources. The timber resource is another notable aspect, dominated by high-quality hardwood species such as sugar maple, yellow birch, red maple, and cherry. The southern section of the estate is particularly promising for establishing a sugarbush operation, with over 900 acres and the potential for 25,000 taps, making it a prime candidate for maple syrup production. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime property!
