The Adirondack Wildlife Refuge is available for sale in Wilmington, NY. The mission of this not-for-profit refuge is to rescue injured wildlife and whenever possible return them to the wild. The center is located on 47+ acres of land with over 1,500 ft. of water frontage along the West Branch of the Ausable River. There are over 2 miles of educational hiking trails and a Public Fishing Access trail which winds through forest and meadow. The property is zoned Moderate Intensity by the Adirondack Park Agency which allows for the current commercial operation of the Refuge and the option to develop up to 34 principal residential buildings on the property. The current zoning allows for further subdivision of the property permitting on average 1.3 acre lots.
The refuge currently operates as an educational center with 20 enclosures featuring a variety of bird species native to the Adirondacks and various farm animals. There is a 1,200 sq. ft. log cabin operating as a welcome center, a rehab building, a storage barn, two-person and four-person Glamping cottages both available as vacation rentals. There is also a third cabin which features interactive presentations. There are numerous potential residential building sites throughout the property with spectacular Whiteface Mountain and waterfront views overlooking the Ausable River. The Adirondack Refuge Center is a nature lovers dream with residential development potential. All birds and animals can be relocated prior to closing if a purchaser does not want to continue the wildlife refuge operation.
