The Pine Ridge

Just a stone’s throw from North Creek and Gore Mountain, Pine Ridge is a 41-acre Adirondack property located within a large block of rural forested parcels. Situated on a higher elevation slope with prospective commanding views, Pine Ridge has fantastic potential; this property could be the site for your single-family home, family compound, recreational getaway, off-grid camp, mountain bike destination, or commercial outdoor recreation venture such as glamping.

Pine Ridge is situated just off the peak of its namesake, with the southwest corner of the property at an elevation of 1530’ with a northerly and easterly aspect. Though heavily forested, there is potential for views to be created by selective tree cutting.

The property is accessed by a “paper” right-of-way (ROW)—it exists but has not been developed. According to the landowner, and supported by deed and survey research, the ROW is from Gore Village Lane within the Gore Village Condominiums. Perhaps the only access into the property, the ROW’s approximate location is just past the second curve, a right-hand turn, through the woods just south of one of the condominiums.

The forest is a mix of tree species native to the Adirondacks, including the towering white pine, eastern hemlock, red oak, white ash, and the occasional red spruce. There are also assorted hardwoods such as red maple and sugar maple, providing outstanding fall colors to transform the aesthetic of the property with the change of seasons. Because there is a mix of large, dominant trees and younger trees, as well as both conifer and hardwood species, there is a visual barrier through the woods, providing a feel of privacy and seclusion. The timber has not been harvested for many years.

From the heights of Pine Ridge, there are 2 streams that flow year-round, feeding into North Creek and the Hudson River. These streams are an important wildlife resource, as well as adding an aesthetic component to the property.

Pine Ridge is located just minutes from Gore Mountain Ski Resort and the village of North Creek, which has dining, gas, and hardware. It is also close to hundreds of thousands of acres of state forest preserve, with backcountry ponds, trout streams, hiking, and hunting, as well as miles of whitewater rafting on the Hudson River.

Just under an hour from Saratoga Springs, less than 3 hours from Montreal, and ~4 hours from NYC, this property is in a great location. Warren County Airport is less than an hour, Albany International is under 1½ hours, and Plattsburgh International is just over two hours away.
