443 Lafrancis Road, Lot#WP001 , Ellenburg Center, NY 12934(Clinton County)

This property offers diverse hunting, fishing on your own 15 +/- acre lake, and income opportunity on a secluded private compound.  The camp is beautifully custom-crafted and sleeps 8, with a complete kitchen with custom cabinets, three bedrooms and a full bath including a shower.    The quality construction of the cabin built in such a way as to keep out pests and the weather.  It has a drilled well with a pump, complete septic and dry well. The house is wired with lights and outlets, heated with propane and or a classic wood stove.  Electricity is supplied with a gas power generator located inside another small barn where you barely hear it running. The other buildings can house ATVS, tree stands and other equipment. A very large glass sliding door makes it feel as if you were outdoors and leads to a spacious covered deck that offers plenty of room for gathering outside.  Unlike many other properties, this one has a well-built private road system a half-mile back to the camp. Miles of roads and ATV trails take you to all parts of the property including all the way back to a 15+/- acre lake.  This lake is a jewel of its own, private, and backed up against another 206 acres of NYS Forest Preserve. Spend your time fishing and canoeing in the summer, and in the fall, watch the lake and wetlands fill up with geese for spectacular nonstop goose hunting action, with brushed in blinds already in place for the new owner.  Shooting lanes were cleared with several seeded with clover to attract and hold the mature bucks that roam this property. Shooting towers and stands are located in strategic locations. (see the pictures). Owning this property also pays dividends in the form of rental to a local maple syrup producer. There are over 14,000 maple taps currently in use paying $11,000 per year, with thousands more still available. Sugaring takes place in the winter after the hunting seasons, so it does not conflict with the hunting. There is also the potential for a Wind Turbine lease. The property was planned for 4 wind turbines and paid the owner $23 per acre in lease payments the past four years, with sign-on bonuses and site premiums it was over $75K.  The current lease has recently expired and is up to be renegotiated. If turbines are constructed on the property, the royalties and payments alone are a very attractive addition to owning this property.  This property is unique in so many ways, immerse yourself in its natural beauty and wildlife diversity. The new owner can enjoy privacy at the lake and escape to their natural secluded compound away from the world.
