Sweet spot for hunting or vacation getaway: this large property sits atop a ridge, making an ideal habitat and runs for whitetail and wild turkey while sharing its entire west border with Cuyler Hill State Forest with its 5507 acres for additional hunting, hiking, camping, snowmobiling, and fishing. With an 11+ acre open field planted to a clover and orchard grass mix, there is ample area to park, leave your RV, camp, or build your own off-grid cabin or home. Mostly wooded, there is a nice trail system that takes you throughout the property, where there is a mix of hardwoods, including maple, cherry, oak, ash, beech, and softwoods. Apple trees are located sporadically around the property, providing an additional attractive food source for deer, turkey, and area wildlife, in addition to the acorn mast and browse. Not surprisingly, there were abundant deer and turkey signs when the property was recently walked. Potential income sources on the property could include leasing the ag field to area farmers and future timber harvests. Surrounding farms and croplands enhance the diversity of the habitat and are a draw for Whitetail to traverse the property as well as use it for cover, browse, and bedding. This area of Central New York is renowned for excellent wildlife conservation with its many NYS Forest preserves. Cuyler Hill State Forest, which borders this property, has 15 freshwater streams totaling 7 miles in length and abound with Brook Trout for some fun fishing. In addition to summer recreation, winter sports are top-rated in this area with miles of nearby snowmobile trails and ice fishing on area lakes, as well as skiing at Labrador Mountain, only 12 miles away, and Greek Peak Mountain Resort is a half-hour. Within 15 minutes, you can be at Dorchester Park and the 1200-acre lake at Whitney Point Reservoir, which offers outstanding fishing opportunities and a public beach and boat launch. Closer to this base camp, amenities are available in DeRuyter, only 7 miles away. Cortland is a 30 minutes drive, and Binghamton is less than 1 hour. This property is located 3.5 hours from NYC/George Washington Bridge. More adjoining land could be available to add onto this large property, if interested. Some subsurface gas rights do not transfer.
