Approved lot containing 4.8 acres, with 220 feet of secluded waterfront on the Cedar River (headwater area of the famous Hudson River). A rare offering on the Cedar River - a "Wild, Scenic & Recreational Rivers Act" protected mountain stream. Accessible year-round via well-maintained County Route 12 (Cedar River Road), this is a great location for a home, vacation cabin, or private seasonal RV/campsite. A driveway takes you down to a clearing at riverside where there's a rustic cabin with attached screened pavilion overlooking the river. The property is heavily forested with mixed hardwoods, red spruce, and pine. A level 15' by 25' crushed stone parking pad is in place for an RV/Trailer at the top of the drive just off the public road. Power and phone service is available to the property from a roadside utility pole near the parking pad, and weekly roadside trash pickup is provided as a Town service. The entire lot has good southern exposure for direct winter sunlight and gorgeous views of Snowy Mountain. The Cedar River originates within Moose River Plains Wild Forest. Meandering some 30 miles downstream it eventually flows into the Hudson River, not far from the central Adirondack hamlet of Indian Lake and the Town's sand beach on Lake Abanakee outlet (also known as the Indian River). Wakely Dam impounds Cedar River Flow 7 miles up the road from the lot, a great place for kayaking and a hotspot for Adirondack moose sighting. The 133 mile long Northville-Placid hiking trail traverses the Adirondacks, and the trailhead access on Cedar River Road near Wakely Dam is roughly the halfway point. Another trailhead in the same area leads to the top of 3,744 foot Wakely Mountain which, while ranking only 67th of the Adirondack highest peaks, has a 360-degree view that rivals any. Back down the road, within an easy walking distance of the lot, is a short trail into Sprague Pond - a beautiful special regulation trout water surrounded by State land. The hamlet of Indian Lake is 7 miles from the property by road, and 2 miles south of the hamlet is the namesake Indian Lake, a 12-mile long jewel that provides great power and sail boating, water skiing, fishing, etc. The State operates an excellent boat ramp here, as well as some beautiful boat-access-only picnic sites and campsites. Just across the road from the boat ramp is the popular State campground at Lewey Lake. Year-round recreational opportunities abound in the region; fishing, water sports of all kinds, camping, hiking, hunting, world-class cross-country and downhill skiing, snowmobiling, etc. Two golf courses are located within a 5 to 10-minute drive, two Adirondack-themed museums are located in the villages of Blue Mountain Lake and Tupper Lake within a 15 to 30-minute drive, and the well-known resort areas of Lake George and Lake Placid are easy day-trips at 1 hour and 2 hours respectively.
