Set on the high ridge of a newly surveyed woodland, this 31.25± acre parcel offers a commanding perch above the surrounding hills. Located along a year-round, maintained paved road, it features reliable access and inviting potential for both recreation and future building. The property’s elevated crest creates a natural setting for a cabin or off-grid getaway with a view, while its gentle slopes and internal logging road network offer excellent navigation for hiking, hunting, or trail riding.
A recent selective timber harvest enhanced the habitat by opening the canopy, creating sunlight pockets that promote new growth and wildlife activity. Maple forms the core of the timber stand, accented by hemlock, oak, and cherry, adding both ecological and aesthetic richness. All oil, gas, mineral, and timber rights convey to the new owner, ensuring the full bundle of property benefits.
Electricity is available at the road, and the parcel sits just 6 miles from Spencer, where you’ll find groceries, fuel, and small-town essentials. It’s approximately 30 minutes to Ithaca, known for its vibrant culture, local markets, and trails along Cayuga Lake, and about 30 minutes to Watkins Glen, offering easy access to Seneca Lake’s wine trail, Watkins Glen State Park, and regional events.
A beautiful balance of elevation, usability, and location—this north parcel stands as a versatile slice of Finger Lakes forestland ready for recreation, a cabin site, or simply a quiet escape with long-term investment potential.
