Brunner Hill Forest is a highly-stocked northern Adirondack timber investment featuring a professionally managed timber resource with nearly five million board feet of sugar maple, birch, cherry and spruce sawtimber. Brunner Hill’s sugar maple resource is quite impressive, and it is not often that you find a property of this caliber whose standing timber value represents 83% of the asking price. The property is located in the northwest corner of the Adirondack region where there are good hardwood growing sites and favorable maple and cherry soils. The location offers good proximity to regional saw mill facilities, pulp mills and wood chip markets. It is also 26 miles to Tupper Lake, 22 miles to Potsdam and 45 miles to a major port on the St. Lawrence Seaway. Access to the property is via a legally deeded right-of-way along a well-maintained, private, gravel road that connects the property to the Route 56 corridor. The property has 2.3 miles of frontage along this solid and log-truck-ready access road. A well-established network of ATV and forestry trails extend into the property from the road frontage, making it easy to access the property for multiple uses. Brunner Hill is a hardwood ridge in the center of the property with gently-sloping, well-drained terrain that is perfectly suited for quality hardwood timber production. The property offers good operating conditions for mechanized or traditional harvesting. The property’s northern hardwood timber resource is distinguished by its high sawtimber value, dominated by sugar maple, birch and cherry. This professionally-managed timber resource offers a great deal of silvicultural flexibility for the next ownership. Capital Timber Value (CTV) has been recently established at $1,328,300, a higher than average amount for the Adirondack region. The sugar maple resource comprises 40% of total stocking and could support as many as 50,000 taps for a sugaring operation. The remaining species are common northern forest associates and include beech (24% total stocking), red maple (11%), yellow birch (11%) and others.
