Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Athol, New York
221 Don Potter Rd, Athol, NY 12810
Last house on a dead-end road. An extraordinary Adirondack retreat offering exceptional privacy, direct frontage on Madison Creek, and a landscape unlike anything else currently available on the market. Hidden among forests, wetlands, mountain streams, waterfalls, and abundant wildlife habitat, this unique property provides the perfect balance of comfort, recreation, and seclusion.The well-maintained Adirondack-style home and newer 3-car garage are both in excellent condition and are complemented by several barns, sheds, and outbuildings that provide ample space for vehicles, equipment, hobbies, and outdoor pursuits. A full basement offers additional flexibility with a workshop area, craft room, and dedicated hot tub room. Explore your own mountain stream complete with waterfalls, wander to the upper beaver pond, enjoy scenic rock outcroppings and mountain views, or relax along the shores of Madison Creek. Wildlife is abundant throughout the property, with frequent sightings of whitetail deer, black bear, moose, wild turkey, geese, otters, bobcats, coyotes, foxes, fishers, and countless bird species. Adding to the property's uniqueness is a small one-room structure located just steps from the water's edge of Madison Creek--features that would be difficult, if not impossible, to replicate today. Whether you're seeking a private year-round residence, recreational getaway, hunting property, wildlife sanctuary, or Adirondack family compound, 221 Don Potter Road delivers a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of the Adirondacks. Properties combining privacy, water frontage, quality improvements, diverse terrain, and exceptional wildlife habitat are increasingly difficult to find. Come experience the Adirondacks the way they were meant to be.
