460 Little John Road, Colton, NY 13625

Chapp Hill is a multi-use land investment oppty with 432+/- acres of recreational appeal and a productive timber resource. Located in the northern Adirondack town of Colton, this tract has public road access, internal road infrastructure, and gently rolling topography.

The property is accessed from frontage on Little John Rd, a four-season town-maintained road. On the property, a well-developed internal road system is ready to be utilized for forest management activities and recreational pursuits. At 1,339 feet, Chapp Hill is the dominant hilltop on the west border of the property.

Except a few beaver ponds and associated brooks, most of the acreage offers rolling hills of well-drained upland forest supporting an attractive hardwood timber resource. The forest on Chapp Hill benefits from decades of professional management. Timber stand improvement has been the long-term goal.

As such, the forest delivers a high-quality timber resource, appealing to a wide range of investors. A 2022 inventory with growth modeled through 2024 shows a property carrying 3.7 MBF of sawlogs and pallet with 17.6 cords of pulpwood (25 gross cords)/forested acre.

There are near-term opportunities for cashflow generation through harvesting of mature timber and long-term value accruing growth in the pipeline. Northern hardwood species like red maple, sugar maple, and black cherry dominate the resource. Subsurface mineral rights are reserved by a third party.

Chapp Hill is enrolled in New York's 480A forest tax program, helping to reduce taxes, with an approved 2023 forest management plan. Chapp Hill's location offers privacy while being situated a few minutes from Higley Flow State Park (camping facilities and sandy public swimming beach) and the St Lawrence County Multi-Use trail system (ATV, UTV, snowmobile...).

There are 2 camp structures with a recreational lease generating $2,060 in 2025. Chapp Hill falls mostly inside the Adirondack Park under a 'rural use' land classification.
