About this land
Nestled in the heart of Clinton County, this 113± acre recreational tract offers a rare combination of quality deer habitat, timber, and income potential. Situated along both Whalen Road and Merchia Road (GPS: 44.96705, -73.9831), this diverse property features a mix of hardwoods, wetlands, and upland cover ideal for whitetail hunting and outdoor adventure. With approximately 973 feet of frontage on one side of Whalen Road and 922 feet on the other, plus an additional 1,276 feet along Merchia Road, this tract provides excellent access and potential for future development or division. There is no maintenance on this section of these roads from December to April. An old ATV trail system winds through portions of the property. Evidence of a former campsite exists, providing a promising location to build your own hunting cabin or rustic getaway. The land was last selectively logged over 25 years ago and holds a healthy stand of poplar, ash, maple, and birch, offering some potential timber value and natural regeneration. Wetland areas provide diversity and important habitat, drawing and holding wildlife throughout the seasons. Deer sign is abundant, with well-worn trails and bedding areas visible across the property, making this a proven hunting location for serious sportsmen. Adding further value, the land possibly could be added to a wind energy program, which generates annual income that helps offset property taxes - a unique and attractive feature for investors and long-term landholders. Whether you're seeking a productive hunting parcel or a peaceful retreat with room to roam, this tract delivers. Its combination of seclusion, access, natural resources, and income potential makes it a true gem in New York's North Country.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
