About this land

Opportunity awaits on this peaceful 0.92-acre property tucked away on a quiet country road in the Town of Wells. Formerly improved with a residence that was lost to a fire in 2025, this parcel offers a chance to start fresh and create your own Adirondack retreat. The property features a solid driveway, an existing storage shed, and a beautiful rock wall that creates a natural boundary along the southern property line. Mature trees surround the lot, providing privacy, shade, and a serene woodland setting. A well and septic system previously serviced the home; however, their current condition is unknown and will require inspection by the buyer. The site will need cleanup and clearing, making it an ideal project for someone looking to build new or invest in a scenic piece of land. Whether you're seeking a future homesite, seasonal getaway location, or investment opportunity, this larger parcel offers a tranquil setting with plenty of potential in the heart of the Adirondacks. "Sold as-is. Buyers should verify all property improvements and utility conditions to their satisfaction."

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
