Property Description
Price just reduced! The former Adirondack Wildlife Refuge Center is a nature lovers dream with tremendous residential development potential. The mission of this not-for-profit refuge was to rescue injured wildlife and whenever possible return them to the wild. The property includes 47+ acres of land with over 1,500 ft. of water frontage along the West Branch of the Ausable River. There are over 2 miles of hiking trails and a Public Fishing Access trail which winds through forest and meadow. The property is zoned Moderate Intensity by the Adirondack Park Agency which allows for various commercial operations and the option to develop up to 34 principal residential buildings on the property. The current zoning allows for further subdivision of the property permitting on average 1.3 acre lots. Buildings include a 1,200 sq. ft. log cabin with full bath which operated as a welcome center, a rehab building, waterfront lecture cottage, a storage barn, a two-person and a four-person Glamping cottage both available as short term vacation rentals.There are numerous potential residential building sites throughout the property with spectacular Whiteface Mountain and waterfront views overlooking the Ausable River. Great location to create a destination Micro-Resort or a family retreat.
