The Ultimate Tug Hill Basecamp with Rare Year-Round Access and Power!
If you are looking for the absolute epicenter of New York snowmobiling and rugged outdoor recreation without being stranded in the winter, this 1.4-acre building lot in Montague is it. Featuring 300 feet of road frontage on a town road plowed year-round, power and well. This lot solves the biggest challenge on the Tug Hill: winter accessibility.
The property includes an abandoned camp that can be stripped down to the footprint and cleared out for your brand-new custom cabin or camper outpost.
Property Highlights:
- Easy Winter Accessibility: Unlike many Tug Hill properties on seasonal roads, this lot enjoys reliable town plowing, allowing you to drive right up to your cabin even in the dead of winter.
- Deep in Snow Country: Located in Montague, a town known for breaking winter snowfall records, ensuring an extended, reliable riding season every year.
- Direct Snowmobile Trail Access: Ride right from your doorstep on the NYSSA C5. This property puts you directly on the massive, meticulously groomed Tug Hill Snowmobile Trail System, connecting you seamlessly to hundreds of miles of trails across Lewis County, Barnes Corners, and beyond.
- Surrounded by NYS State Hunting Lands: You are minutes away from thousands of acres of premier public hunting, trapping, and hiking ground. The lot sits in immediate proximity to massive state tracts, including Tug Hill State Forest and Sears Pond State Forest, making it an exceptional launching pad for big and small game hunting.
- Four-Season Freedom: When winter breaks, the area transitions into a paradise for ATV/OHV riding via the Lewis County trail system, alongside excellent trout fishing, foraging, and backcountry exploration.
