30.4 Acres in Sprakers, NY - $95,000
Waterfall Heaven
Waterfall Heaven - still under contract, selling for FAR more than the starting price. If this should fall through, we will immediately let you know.
Want complete privacy and stunning scenery? This is it. We have 30.4 surveyed wooded acres accessed via a deeded right of way on a once-paved abandoned town road. At the end is a cabin and a nearly 100 waterfall with a swimming hole at its base. I have not measured it but can tell you that it takes a 140 rope to rappel from the top to the water below. The water flows over flat rock and is surprisingly warm in the summer. In the winter, spectacular ice formations are found. Downstream in the gorge are a series of smaller waterfalls with their own swimming holes. One, the Blue Hole is said to be bottomless. But Ill bet 15 is more like it.

The property is generally steep with scattered leveler plateaus. It was once a Boy Scout camp and foundations for their buildings can still be found. It is heavily forested with mostly mixed hardwoods and it has been over 4 decades since any timber has been harvested. Side streams enter at two places and some of them have waterfalls as well. Yep, its scenic. And a short distance to I 90, though youd never guess it when you visit there.
The cabin was never quite completed. It measures 20x28 and is situated to have a straight-on view fo the main waterfall. It has a cathedral ceiling in part with a stairs to a single bedroom on the second floor. A deck wraps around 2 sides. And it is insulated so it can be used in the winter. You will need to replace the windows and some of the sheetrock as they have been broken over the years.
The owner bought it nearly 40 years ago to use for hunting and recreation but in recent years has not been able to visit due to the unexpected health issues that now prompt him to sell it. His loss = your gain. Just $95000. Taxes are estimated to be well under $2000.
