Bonnie Belle Farm , Chestertown, NY 12817(Warren County)

As an incredible, legacy forest with a great location, Bonnie Belle is perfectly suited for timber investment, weekend getaways, hiking, nordic skiing, hunting, home development and shared access to a private homeowners association beach on Loon Lake. There are several miles of groomed ski and hiking trails, providing four-season recreational opportunities throughout the land. The forested acreage is graced with scenic white pine and northern hardwood forests that create a stunning backdrop for recreation and weekend getaways. A 36-acre lot was reserved for future development and allows up to 4 residential, single family lots with full rights to enjoy the private beach on Loon Lake.

An April 2017 inventory revealed a Capital Timber Value of $464,400. White pine and red oak comprise three quarters of the propertys total sawlog volume and value, setting the stage for solid timber appreciation and returns over the next investment cycle. Sawlog volume is dominated by white pine and red oak, with a host of associates, including sugar maple, hemlock, red maple, with the birches, ash, basswood, red pine, aspen, spruce and cedar making up the balance. The April 2017 post-harvest inventory reveals a property whose stands are in a great position to appreciate in value over the next decade and be ready for thinning in another 10-12 years as markets and contractor availability allow.
