12086 Beartown Road

About this home

Opportunity meets seclusion at this one-of-a-kind property on approximately 46 wooded acres, surrounded by the 3,800+ acres of Beartown State Forest! Tucked well back from the road for exceptional privacy, this unfinished home was thoughtfully designed with off-grid living in mind and is ready for its next owner to bring the original vision, or one of their own, to completion. The home is framed for 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath and laundry room with an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area beneath a beautiful, vaulted ceiling. Tall ceilings extend to the full basement providing additional space, while the massive, attached garage, approximately 54' long and 28' wide, and larger than the home itself, features an impressive 14' overhead door with room for recreational vehicles, equipment, a workshop and more. Garage is also wired for electrical service, attic storage, and stove pipe for wood or pellet heat. Much of the groundwork has already begun, including PEX plumbing awaiting connection, a dug well, Andersen windows and doors, and new Adirondack steel siding, soffit, and fascia installed in 2025. Brand-new solar panels are onsite and feature an available solar tracking mechanism designed to move with the sun; batteries and final connections are still needed. The home was also designed for in-floor radiant heat supplied by an outdoor wood boiler. Outdoors, the dense wooded acreage offers established trails and hunting blinds, creating an incredible setting for sportsmen, outdoor enthusiasts and those simply seeking peace and privacy. With thousands of acres of Beartown State Forest surrounding the property, an area known for hunting, hiking, snowmobiling and trail riding, the recreational possibilities extend far beyond your own acreage. No septic system is currently installed. Located in the Carthage Central School District and offered as an estate, this is a rare chance to finish a substantial property your way and create the private North Country retreat you've been searching for.
