LOCATION Alden Forest is a classic blended woodland retreat and long-term timber investment property located in the Warrensburg-Lake George region of New York’s Adirondack Park. The property is tucked privately along the western flank and summit of Hemlock Ridge, a prominent mountain that is situated within an unbroken forested landscape between Warrensburg and Lake George Village. The nearby communities of Warrensburg and Lake George are popular summer vacation destinations as well as great places to live, work and recreate. Warrensburg is well known for its historic Victorian residences, boutique antique shops and The World’s Largest Garage Sale which occurs annually each October. Interstate 87, also known as the Adirondack Northway, is situated within 5 miles of the property, providing easy access to regional population centers and amenities in: Saratoga Springs (40 minutes to the south), Glens Falls (25 minutes to the southeast) and Albany (60 miles south). New York City and Boston are a 4-hour drive to the south and east respectively.
ACCESS Entry to the property is provided by a 3,500’ gravel right-of-way road that originates at Alden Avenue to the west and enters the land’s northwestern corner. This road traverses mostly gentle slopes and provides good access for high-clearance vehicles. Immediately upon entering the property, a small clearing facilitates an economically feasible site for camp development. From this point, the road transitions into a well-established network of trails that offer good internal access to over two-thirds of the property, including the summit of Hemlock Ridge. Utilities are located along Alden Avenue. During the winter months, the entire length of the access road becomes part of the South Warren Snowmobile Club trail system, a county-organized group that offers over 100 miles of trails connecting the Glens Falls region with Warrensburg. This vast network is integrated with snowmobile club trails to the north, and provides access to hundreds of miles of additional trails into the central Adirondack regions of Speculator and Long Lake.
BOUNDARIES Boundaries in the field are reasonably well-maintained and exist as red painted blazes. The total boundary perimeter is two and three quarter miles, encompassing nearly a half square mile in area. The estimate of 300± acres for the property, as well as maps in this report, are based on tax map information. These maps are NOT survey accurate and thus acreages may be unreliable. Although the maps provided in this report are believed to be reasonably accurate, buyers should not rely on these maps to precisely portray deeded boundary lines in the field.
The right-of-way road becomes part of the local snowmobile trail network during the winter months, widening four season recreation options for outdoor enthusiasts.

Warrensburg Village is a key gateway to the Adirondacks and is situated within 10 minutes of the property.
SITE DESCRIPTION Alden Forest’s long views, private cabin options, and year-round recreational opportunities are shaped by its position along the slopes and summit, encompassing nearly all of Hemlock Ridge (elevation 1,722’). Future cabin development is well-suited to the gently-sloping hardwood bowl area that makes up the western third of the property. There are several potential sites within close proximity of the access road offering warm afternoon sunlight and gentle terrain. The ridge top area’s diverse topography offers level plateau areas, rock outcrops, and long vistas of Phoebe, Black Spruce, and Prospect Mountains. This ridge area is accessed from the west by an internal trail network that tracks along the height of ground in a north-south direction. Complementing the parcel’s private open space and diverse recreational attributes is the opportunity to access over 2,000 acres of adjoining New York State Forest Preserve lands to the south and west. This expansive open space stretches over 2.5 miles to the Hudson River and offers vast opportunity for additional hiking, hunting and fishing.
TIMBER The timber information used in this report is based on an inventory conducted by Fountain Forestry, Inc. in June 2007, using random point sampling with 62 BAF 10 factor points taken, producing an average sampling error @95% C.I. of ±16.47% for all products. Volumes have been adjusted for annual growth since this timeframe using 2.5% for sawlog products and 1.5% for pulpwood products. From this data, Fountains rough estimate of Capital Timber Value (CTV) is $144,300 or $479/acre. Timber data is summarized on the attached Timber Valuation. Broadly, the forest can be categorized into two timber types. The first type is a northern hardwood stand which was harvested in 2007 and located on productive, well-drained till soils on mid-slope and ridge-top sites (roughly 175 acres). The second broad timber type consists of large-diameter, mixed-wood stands situated on steep, shallower, less-productive soils on the eastern slopes of the property (roughly 125 acres).
Views from the summit area of Hemlock Ridge from an ATV trail that winds along the height of ground.
Rocky outcrops and open areas on the summit of Hemlock Ridge offer a private recreational canvas for hiking, photography and enjoying nature.

TIMBER (continued) Forest-wide, species composition is dominated by northern hardwoods (77% of total volume) with primary species include sugar maple (23% of total volume), beech (21%), hemlock (17%) and red oak (16%). Of the total tract acreage, 255 acres or 85% of the land is designated as commercially operable. Within the harvested northern hardwood area, the timber resource is generally pole-sized with good stem quality and crown vigor in the sugar maples. Average diameter (measured at breast height) is 9”. Stem quality, diameter size class, and favorable species composition combine to provide good long-term timber appreciation opportunity over the next two decades. The western section of the property has not seen timber harvesting in recent years and its resource is dominated by larger red oak and white pine stems. Opportunity for harvesting exists here upon negotiating access with the neighboring property owner to the east along Old Stage Road (the traditional access route for this area). Sawlog volume by species is dominated by a mix of quality northern hardwoods such as red oak (40%), red maple (8%) and white ash/yellow birch (8%). White Pine is the most popular softwood saw timber species at 14% of total sawlog volume. By value, red oak and sugar maple lead the way and represent 75% of all saw timber value. These two species are historically strong performers and therefore are highly desirable to include in a US Northeast timberland portfolio.
TAXES, TITLE and ZONING Total property taxes in 2013 were $1,067. The property IS enrolled under the State of New York’s 480-A tax program, which significantly reduces the annual tax burden. Fore more information about 480-A, contact Fountains Real Estate or the Department of Environmental Conservation office located in Ray Brook, NY (518) 897-1283. The Adirondack Park Association zoning is ‘Resource Management’ which allows for 42.7 acre lots/structure with the necessary permit approvals. The property is owned by Voyager Advisors, LLC, whose deeds for the tract are recorded in the Warren County Clerks Office, Lake George, NY in Book 3498 Page 311. Tax map information is maintained in the Warren County Real Property Tax Office as per Warrensburg Tax Map # 249.-1-56.
The property’s oak- and maple-dominated timber resource represents nearly 70% of the land’s asking price and firmly anchors its long-term investment potential.

Disclosure Regarding Real EstateAgency Relationships
Seller’s AgentA seller’s agent is an agent who is engaged by a seller torepresent the seller’s interest. The seller’s agent does this bysecuring a buyer for the seller’s home at a price and onterms acceptable to the seller. A seller’s agent has, withoutlimitation, the following fiduciary duties to the seller:reasonable care, undivided loyalty, confidentiality, fulldisclosure, obedience and duty to account. A seller’s agentdoes not represent the interests of the buyer. The obligationsof a seller’s agent are also subject to any specific provisionsset forth in an agreement between the agent and the seller.In dealings with the buyer, a seller’s agent should (a) exer-cise reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent’sduties; (b) deal honestly, fairly and in good faith; and (c)disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting thevalue or desirability of property, except as otherwise pro-vided by law.
Buyer’s AgentA buyer’s agent is an agent who is engaged by a buyer torepresent the buyer’s interest. The buyer’s agent does this
by negotiating the purchase of a home at a price and onterms acceptable to the buyer. A buyer’s agent has, withoutlimitation, the following fiduciary duties to the buyer:reasonable care, undivided loyalty, confidentiality, fulldisclosure, obedience and duty to account. A buyer’s agentdoes not represent the interest of the seller. The obligationsof a buyer’s agent are also subject to any specific provisionsset forth in an agreement between the agent and the buyer.In dealings with the seller, a buyer’s agent should (a) exer-cise reasonable skill and care in performance of the agent’sduties; (b) deal honestly, fairly and in good faith; and (c)disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting thebuyer’s ability and/or willingness to perform a contract toacquire seller’s property that are not inconsistent with theagent’s fiduciary duties to the buyer.
Broker’s AgentsA broker’s agent is an agent that cooperates or is engagedby a listing agent or a buyer’s agent (but does not work forthe same firm as the listing agent or buyer’s agent) to assistthe listing agent or buyer’s agent in locating a property tosell or buy, respectively, for the listing agent’s seller or thebuyer agent’s buyer. The broker’s agent does not have adirect relationship with the buyer or seller and the buyer orseller can not provide instructions or direction directly to thebroker’s agent. The buyer and the seller therefore do nothave vicarious liability for the acts of the broker’s agent.The listing agent or buyer’s agent do provide direction andinstruction to the broker’s agent and therefore the listingagent or buyer’s agent will have liability for the acts of thebroker’s agent.
Dual AgentA real estate broker may represent both the buyer and sellerif both the buyer and seller give their informed consent inwriting. In such a dual agency situation, the agent will notbe able to provide the full range of fiduciary duties to thebuyer and seller.

the agent, and the buyer and seller. An agent acting as a dualagent must explain carefully to both the buyer and sellerthat the agent is acting for the other party as well. The agentshould also explain the possible effects of dual representa-tion, including that by consenting to the dual agency rela-tionship the buyer and seller are giving up their right toundivided loyalty. A buyer or seller should carefully con-sider the possible consequences of a dual agency relation-ship before agreeing to such representation.
Dual Agent with Designated Sales AgentsIf the buyer and seller provide their informed consent inwriting, the principals and the real estate broker who repre-sents both parties as a dual agent may designate a salesagent to represent the buyer and another sales agent torepresent the seller to negotiate the purchase and sale of real
estate. A sales agent works under the supervision of the realestate broker. With the informed consent of the buyer andthe seller in writing, the designated sales agent for the buyerwill function as the buyer’s agent representing the interestsof and advocating on behalf of the buyer and the designatedsales agent for the seller will function as the seller’s agentrepresenting the interests of and advocating on behalf of theseller in the negotiations between the buyer and seller. Adesignated sales agent cannot provide the full range offiduciary duties to the buyer or seller.
