Friends Lake Road, Chestertown, NY 12817

With nearly 2,200 feet of frontage along the Upper Hudson River, a wild, whitewater backcountry river, and immediate access to nearly 1,600 acres of State Forest Preserve, the Hudson River Woods  there is no requirement to hire a forester or develop a forest management plan as with 480a.  The only requirement is that the landowner pay a 6% severance tax on the timber stumpage yield from timber sales.  The remaining acreage along the majority of the road frontage, approximately 151 acres is not under the Fisher 480.Although the property has significant road frontage, the physical access into the property is through parcel 119.-2-12 , via a deeded 50-foot right-of-way.  This also serves as the public access to the adjacent northern block of State land, as well as for the owners of parcel 119.-2-16.   The Hudson River Woods & Water property is located only 4.5 miles from Chestertown, 11 miles from Warrensburg, and 15 miles from the slopes of Gore Mountain—so all of the necessities are close at hand.  It is under an hour from Saratoga Springs, 1.25 hours from Albany, and ~4 hours from New York City.
