166 Panther LN Ellenburg, NY 12933

Panther Lane Forest offers an attractive 868+-acre early successional forest and recreation-oriented land investment with over a mile of frontage along town-maintained Bigelow Road (Panther Lane). The property includes an existing camp (On the Wing Grouse Camp) with an outdoor picnic pavilion and an extensive recreational trail network. The forest has been managed to maintain early successional and field edge habitat for upland bird species like grouse, woodcock, and turkey. Small field openings dotted with apple trees attract deer. The property has historically hosted the annual New York Grouse and Woodcock Hunt fundraiser sponsored by the Ruffed Grouse Society to raise money for grouse and woodcock habitat preservation. The timber resource offers a young, vigorous, well-stocked mixture of hardwood (cherry, birch, maple, aspen) and softwood (spruce/fir) species. A combination of good access, interior trail network, and gently rolling terrain support future enjoyment of the property with excellent long-term potential for timber growth and appreciation. Several streams, headwaters of the North Branch of the Great Chazy River, provide a water resource and enhance wildlife habitat. The property is enrolled in New York's 480A forest tax program. On a clear day, the Montreal skyline is visible from the property. The area surrounding the property is composed of a mixture of forestland, farms, camps, wind energy, and rural residential uses. Deeds and tax info available upon request.
