Description

This rare opportunity awaits your vision. This 86.81-acre property has been a hunting and recreation paradise for the previous owner for years and is now being offered for sale for you to take it to the next level. Nestled in the heart of the Sullivan Catskills, this property is located on the border of the township of Highland, just minutes from Barryville, Eldred, and the Delaware River.

This property has two points of access from Smith Hughes Road, and electricity is available on the road. As you enter the property, the sky-reaching white pines create an enchanted feel. You will find many locations that offer potential building sites to fit your needs. Whether you wish to be close to the road for a low-maintenance homesite or create a long driveway that leads to that secluded and private homesite, the choice is yours, and this lot has you covered.

As you make your way throughout the forest, you will find diversity, elevation change of +/- 260', stone walls, rock outcropping, and moss-covered boulders. All of this is easy to access and explore due to the extensive ATV trail network that the seller has created. With over 2 miles of trails canvassing throughout the property, these trails are perfect for 4-wheelers, hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and horseback riding. The trail also provides quiet access to all the stand and blind locations the previous owner has already mapped out.

The diverse forest changes throughout the property, with large pines and hemlock being more dominant in the lower elevations, and hardwood species, including oak, birch, and tulip. The oaks offer a great food source for deer, bear, and many other wildlife species. The owner has done a lot of the work already and has been very successful through the years, harvesting very respectable whitetails. Like a good hunting property, there is always more than can be done. Explore the options of a timber stand improvement and some selective logging; this can help achieve many goals and objectives. Allowing more light to the forest floor promotes new growth and can open areas for food plots, homesites, and driveways.

Explore the surrounding areas of Western Sullivan County and the Delaware River Corridor, along with the county's main attractions, including Bethel Woods, Resorts World Catskills, and Kartrite Resort and Indoor Water Park.
