Taylor Timber

The Taylor Timber property offers an attractive 686±-acre timberland parcel situated along the east side of Route 27 in the Town of Fine, New York. The property offers strong recreation attributes along with timber investment value and maple sugaring potential. Access is excellent with four-season paved frontage along primary Route 27 and a gated, private network of interior logging roads. The timber resource is composed of northern hardwoods dominated by sugar maple, red maple, black cherry, and white ash. Past harvest entries (2017-2019) have left shelterwood cuts with mature overstory and vigorous regeneration in the understory. A December-2022 timber inventory shows 3.2 MBF sawtimber plus 9.9 cords pulpwood per forested acre. The harvest schedule in the forest management plan (Dec-2023 update) identifies near-term cash opportunities from group/patch selection cuts in 2027 and overstory removal in 2031. In addition, the maple resource offers 13,000+ potential taps in terrain favorable to gravity fed tubing. A recreational camp lease generates $3,127 annually. The property is enrolled in New York’s 480-A forest tax program with 2024 taxes of $2,631. APA land classification is “rural use” which allows reduced intensity residential development with appropriate permitting. Proximate to Orebed Creek State Forest, Star Lake (15 minutes), Canton/Potsdam (30-40 minutes), and Syracuse (2 hours). Please contact LandVest to arrange for a property tour.
