So, whether you happen to be a hunter experienced or just a nature lover waiting for your next getaway, this Adirondack hunting land is like finding a needle in a haystack. At the price of only $119,900, it’s a dream come true that costs less than you thought.
In a time when one can hardly get real privacy, this kind of property makes us remember why Adirondacks have been attractive to people for ages. Let’s find out what makes this land in Stratford so exceptional.
Property Overview: A Backcountry Haven Awaits
The main feature of this offer is 62.5 acres of pure, unspoiled Adirondack terrain, located off County Road 119 in Stratford, NY 13329. This is definitely not your average suburban lot – it’s a real backcountry parcel, about 900 feet from the road via a newly built gravel right-of-way (ROW). But the real magic is when you get there: another 900 feet of road takes you right into the middle of the property, to an elevated 2-acre clearing that is your personal overlook.
As far as the eye can see are beautiful views—two large bright water bodies are the main attraction of the land, and from the co it comes all sorts of animals and pure relaxation. There is a strong 14×24-foot shed waiting for your stuff with a permit from the owner, so it’s perfect for storage or a base camp. The recent harvesting has changed the forest which is now open for lanes, edges, and trails that run through the property like nature’s own way of inviting you to come in and explore. And if one wants even more room, the seller is willing to sell an extra 10 acres upfront for only $20,000 that will increase the total to 72.5 acres and allow access throughout the year.
This is not merely land; it is a work of art for your Adirondack fantasies. You can think of putting up tents for weekend trips or getting a building permit to build a warm little cabin (depending on local codes and the Adirondack Park Agency), there are no limits to the possibilities here.
Unmatched Hunting Opportunities in the Adirondacks
For hunters, this property is a dream come true. The Adirondacks have been known for big game hunting for a long time, and in a splendid manner, this 62-acre parcel fulfills that promise. Due to the recent selective timbering, the area has become the ideal habitat mosaic—visualizing open lanes for easy spotting, thick edges for bedding cover, and winding trails that lead the deer and other game directly to your stand. Total seclusion means minimal human interference, allowing wildlife to thrive unchecked.
Imagine this: sun coming up over the ponds while you are looking for animals in the treeline. The elevated clearing is a perfect point of view, and the ponds are the best places for waterfowl, fish, and the animals that come to drink. While no particular species are mentioned, the area is very well known for white-tailed deer, turkey, and small game. Furthermore, on both sides, there is the Adirondack Forest Preserve just a short walk away, so your hunting grounds are way beyond these limits. It is not only about the kill but also about the joy of being in the predator’s paradise where every twig breaking is excitement.
This is not transient lease land—it’s your domain to control, develop, and bequeath. In times of heavily used public lands, having your own Adirondack hunting retreat means great liberty and constancy.
Stunning Terrain and Natural Features
The diversity and the dramatic aspect of the terrain is what really makes this property stand out. The land slopes down from the edge of the road into the thicker woods and then rises to that powerful 2-acre clearing, giving the spectacular views that go beyond the ponds and the forest. The ponds are the main attractions—big enough for paddle boating or ice fishing, and full of the species that support the nature that surrounds them.
The forest, just recently cut, consists of mature hardwoods mixed with young growth, thus allowing the forest to be abundant with different kinds of flora and fauna at every bend. You will encounter plenty of places for food plots, blinds, or even a small orchard if you are thinking in the distant future. And with air being crisp and clean, not contaminated by the city, it is a place to nurture your spirit as well as body. Whatever the weather may be, this land is calling you to come and discover it, be it through the colorful leaves of autumn or the white snow of winter.
Access and Amenities: Practicality Meets Wilderness
Going to your piece of paradise is not complicated but rather daring and exciting. The seasonal gravel ROW provides access that can be counted on during the hunting season and the warmer months, while the 10-acre optional purchase turns it into a place that can be used all year round with a possible long driveway. There are no utilities on the site as yet, but that is part of the appeal – off-grid living at its best, with solar or generator options galore.
The shed that is already there gives you immediate cover and storage, thus saving you a lot of trouble in getting started. Those who are considering development may find that Stratford’s local regulations are easy to work with, and being close to the Forest Preserve adds up to the value without giving way to the authority.
Why Stratford, NY? The Ideal Adirondack Base
Stratford is located in Fulton County, a less noisy corner of the Adirondacks which is still near enough to the facilities but far away from the crowd of tourists at Lake Placid or Saratoga. You are just a few minutes away from the necessities of small towns like groceries in Johnstown or St. Johnsville, but in terms of feeling you are a whole different world. The place is full of a rich outdoor heritage which means, for example, state lands nearby for the expansion of hunting activities, fishing in the Mohawk River, or cross-country skiing on the preserved trails.
Inter alia, the property values here are going up due to remote work which in turn is causing demand for rural escapes and hence making this the right time to invest. It is reasonably priced for the area and the features with a cost of $119,900 (or $139,900 for the full 72.5 acres), especially if we look at the parcels that are closer to the High Peaks which are much more expensive.
