This property is an excellent opportunity to purchase a very affordable hunting or vacation getaway spot located in an area renowned for wildlife conservation. Situated off a seasonal road, this property offers a diverse habitat with 8 acres of woods, 3.5 acres of tillable land, and 3.54 acres of pasture/open meadow, as well as a spring-fed ~100’L x 10’W x 10’D pond. There is already a driveway in place to pull into the property and a clearing for your camper, tent, or build your own off-grid cabin. There is a nice trail through the woods from the clearing, which brings you up to the open fields at the top of the property, where this property is the highest on the ridge and offers beautiful views of Taylor Valley. There was good cell service on the property when I recently walked and an ideal spot for whitetail deer and wild turkey, with lots of sign present. In fact, with the surrounding wooded areas, farms, and conservation-managed state lands, wildlife thrives in this region. For even more outdoor recreation beyond this base camp, the property is only 3.5 miles from another 1835 acres of NYS public lands with Pitcher Springs State Forest. Pitcher Springs provides access to additional outdoor recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, hiking, and primitive camping.
