A fire tower is built to look out over the land, and this one stands in the village of Wilmington, NY. It is offered unfinished, so the next chapter is up to the buyer. From the top, there are views of Whiteface Mountain, and local shops, dining, and trails are close by. It is being offered as-is for completion. Electric has been run to a pedestal on site, town water is available, and private septic or a composting toilet system may be possible, subject to approval. Buyers may finish several floors or only the top, subject to applicable permits and approvals. For a buyer with a plan for the finished structure, the property may offer short-term rental potential. Whether you picture a guest stay, a personal retreat, or something else, the finished design is up to you. Some photos have been virtually staged. Fire Tower Pro Forma included in documents. The pro forma contains projections only, is not a guarantee of income, and has not been independently verified. Short-term rental use, zoning, and permit eligibility have not been confirmed. Buyers must independently verify all local regulations and requirements with the Town of Wilmington and applicable state and local agencies. Utility and approval details, including electric, water, and septic, should be verified through the appropriate authorities and during due diligence. Sale is subject to final subdivision filing and approval, to be completed prior to closing. Current taxes and assessed value shown are for the existing undivided parcel. Taxes and assessed value for the newly created parcel will be determined following final subdivision approval. Property may also be purchased with adjoining parcels (see MLS # 208574 and 208575). Buyers interested in the full parcel are encouraged to inquire for additional details. To learn more or to schedule a private showing, please contact us.
