Recreation
We look for properties located in premier recreational areas.
Three states we currently feature are Kentucky, New York and Maine, and within
these states our properties are located near a wide variety of
recreational opportunities.
Kentucky
Kentucky is home to a wide variety of recreational opportunities. In particular, we focus on the eastern half of the state, which boasts a lush,
green landscape. Starting from the bluegrass region around Lexington - home to the world's premier horse farms - one can trace many scenic routes
into the Daniel Boone National Forest, which covers over 707,000 acres and surrounds the
rock-climbing mecca of Red River Gorge. The 269-mile Sheltowee Trace National Recreational Trail runs the
length of the forest, and a stretch of the trail forms the boundary between the National Forest and our property in Lewis
County. |  Sandstone cliffs in Red River Gorge, Kentucky |
New York
New York is home to Adirondack
Park, the largest park in the lower 48 U.S. states, over 6
million acres. Adirondack Park is in the northeastern part of the
state, near both of our New York properties. Our property
in Chesterfield is
actually inside the park itself, and our property in Whitehall is close
by. Activities inside the park include skiing, snowmobiling, and
snowshoeing in winter, and hiking, fishing, and camping in the
summer. Both of our properties also have a view of Lake Champlain, the long lake
which forms much of the border between New York and the
neighboring state of Vermont. |  New York's Adirondacks and Lake Champlain |
Maine
Maine, whose state license plates proclaim the nickname
Vacationland,
is a four-season paradise packed with attractions and activities. The
western part of the state is home to two premier ski resorts,
Sugarloaf
USA and Sunday
River, the latter being less than an hour from our property in Dixfield. The northern part of the state is
home to Mount Katahdin, in Baxter State Park, the northern terminus
of the Appalachian
Trail. It's also home to the remote 92-mile Allagash Wilderness Waterway, which inspired Henry
David Thoreau and others. Our property in Lincoln is in one of the last built-up areas at
the gateway to the vast northern areas of Maine. Finally, the long
eastern coastline of Maine is a spectacularly scenic area, home to
numerous small lobster and fishing villages, as well as
Acadia National Park. Our
property in Columbia Falls is just
minutes from the coast. |
