This beautiful property, very secluded on a seasonal use road, offers nice whitetail, wildlife & waterfowl opportunities with options for a hunting camp or great vacation getaway. This mostly-level property provides several choices for parking, camper, or cabin locations. A central trail system provides access into the property through the meadows. Two streams provide a water source with 1627’ of water frontage and several natural beaver ponds. The woods consist of a mix of young hardwood stands, hemlock, pine, and various softwoods. Wild apple trees dot the landscape, providing additional food for deer, turkey, and other local wildlife. The former ag fields could be brought back into active production or made into food plots, further enhancing whitetail hunting. With the woods surrounding the multiple open areas, there are many different choices for locating deer blinds and tree stands strategically. The property is located just ¾ mile down the road from the 9000 acre Pharsalia Woods State Forest, which offers additional hunting, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, snowmobiling, hiking, and wildlife observation. A nine-mile truck trail passes atop a forested plateau and offers visitors many great views, an elevated covered viewing platform overlooking the 90-acre Round Pond wetland complex. That contains several protected plants, including the carnivorous pitcher plant, and habitat to many wetland bird species, including sandhill cranes, rare visitors to New York State. In addition, there are 11 miles of the NYS Snowmobile Trail systems in this State Forest, as well as 6 miles of the Finger Lakes Trail System. Located in this area of NYS dedicated for decades to wildlife conservation and management, in addition to the thousands of acres of the adjoining Pharsalia Woods State Forest, nearby open areas provide an attractive food source for whitetail turkey and other small game on this property. There was abundant whitetail sign on the property when recently walked, as well as several grouse were kicked up. You could use this property as a base camp, with additional outdoor activities are found year-round, with nearby Dorchester Park only a half-hour away. Which offers a public boat launch, beach, and picnic grounds on the Whitney Point Reservoir, a 1200 acre lake with outstanding year-round fishing for pike, bass, and panfish, adjoins the Whitney Point Multi-Use State Land. Winter or summer, you can enjoy Greek Peak Mountain Resorts for skiing, snowboarding, zip-lining, and mountain biking within 40 minutes. A private location yet close to amenities in nearby Norwich, only 8 miles away or 30 minutes to Whitney Point. More entertainment, shopping, and restaurants are available in less than an hour to Oneonta or Binghamton, while Cortland is less than 45 minutes. NYS/George Washington Bridge is 3 hours 20 minutes. This diverse property is an ideal spot for the avid hunter and outdoorsman/woman, with potential great whitetail hunting and wildlife enjoyment on your own land or centrally located for amazing activities nearby.
