100+ acres for further development

Commercial Business Zone

Lots of road frontage

Location set between the villages of Saranac Lake and Lake Placid, Sherwood Forest Motor Inn takes advantage of the assets of both communities, yet due to our unique features as well as a more rural setting, the land provides the privacy of a large estate, or new business complex.  The properties of Sherwood Forest currently include the motor inn, Sleepy Hollow r.v. park, private rentals,  22 ± acre  Wolf Lake of which Sherwood Forest Motor Inn owns 14 ± acres outright, including 2600 ± feet of lake front property, and control the flood rights & property under the entire lake.  The land is ideally suited for development with sandy loam soil providing good drainage.

Although mostly flat, the property also has some changes in topography that encourages one's imagination and allows for spectacular views.

Sherwood Forest Motor Inn are served by New York State Route 86 (State Highway ), Knottingham Rd.( Town of North Elba highway ), and Sleepy Hollow Way ( private road ), with 1000± feet of frontage on each of the state and town owned roads, by public water provided by the Ray Brook Water District which is held in trust by the Town of North Elba, electricity provided by National Grid, cable television from Time Warner communications, and telephone from Verizon.  Sherwood Forest Inn previously housed the town's water source until they relocated.  Possible spring water bottling business might be engaged.  All buildings as well as Sleepy Hollow  RV Park have their own private septic systems, however there are current talks underway which include the Town of North Elba as well as the Village of Saranac Lake and others to run new sewer and water services to the hamlet of Ray Brook.

Due to the size of the property, Sherwood Forest Motor Inn falls under several different land use classifications which could be a great benefit in the development of the property.  The Town of North Elba zoning classifies Sherwood Forest in two land use districts, the majority of property 67± acres are in the CB (commercial business)  district.  Directly behind the CB district is an additional 33± acres classified as open space. The Adirondack Park Agency classifies the motor inn in two categories. The first or front of the property being moderate intensity followed by low intensity in the back or rear.
