This beautiful parcel has a sanctuary-like feel. There is something to admire and enjoy here for all creatures great and small in so many different settings. There are small fields along the road bordered along the back by spruce with paths leading to more small fields bordered by brush and old but blossoming apple trees. Another deer trodden path leads to a small hemlock and pine bordered stream running out of a hidden pond where a pair of mallards take flight only a few yards ahead of my approach. I walk across the little stream on a small beaver dam and start up a slope. Ahead I see whitetails flashing through the maple and oak trees. The forest floor is covered with last years acorn shells left by feeding deer, turkey and squirrels. Overhead, a red-tailed hawk screeches as it soars looking for any small game I might have frightened.

I circled around the beaver pond and saw more openings where stands were still set up along trails. Throughout my trail walk I saw old tree stands and ground blinds. As evidenced by the strategic placement of stands, and the many photos of bucks taken here by bow and gun from tree and ground, the owner is an experienced hunter. But more than that, he is an experienced game manager who has groomed his property to hold and support deer year-round, year after year, by providing proper natural cover and forage.

There are 2 parcels being sold together. The smaller parcel has a man-made pond on it and it could be a gorgeous site for your country cabin or your year-round home. No need to drive 2 to 3 hours to go hunting or camping. Some of the finest recreation in Central NY will be in your back yard. Other destinations like the Finger Lakes Region, skiing at Greek Peak, or fishing in many local streams and rivers, will all be just a short drive away.

Offered at $198,900.
