Grafton, NY 12082 - Rensselaer County

Grafton Forest is a 94 acre, classic recreational woodlot property with home site options a short distance from Albanys Capital Region. The property offers good access, gentle topography, and several potential off-grid building sites within a few hundred feet of the current driveway terminus.

Of notable interest is a private hardwood stand situated in the heart of the land where soils are well drained and the terrain is very easy to navigate. This area has tall hardwood trees with much of the understory free of dense regeneration, providing excellent forest aesthetics and seclusion. This part of the property is easily accessible and offers seclusion and screened privacy.

Nearly 100% of the land is forested, dominated by quality northern hardwoods such as the maples, black cherry and white ash. Hardwood stands are fully stocked and can support another harvest thinning over the next 5 years.

The land is gently rolling, so it affords easy recreational access for snowshoeing, hiking, hunting, ATV use or cross country skiing. The northwestern third of the property is dominated by naturally growing red spruce, hemlock and red maple, which provide important winter food and thermal cover for resident wildlife. The region is known to host a transient moose population along with popular big game species like whitetail deer and black bear.
