Description
Sitting at the end of a quiet country road in Newfield, where pavement gives way to timber and the world grows still, this 87±-acre property bridges two worlds: private retreat and proven income producer. The Creek Walk Cabin borders the Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area and Cornell University lands, setting its boundaries against thousands of protected acres and a landscape that feels much larger than the deeded lines suggest. The property's heart is a tidy one-bedroom, one-bath home with an open kitchen and living space, warmed by natural light and the sound of Carter Creek below. Just beyond, a second one-bedroom cabin stands ready, compact, efficient, and made for simple comfort with a wood stove, kitchenette, and its own sense of quiet. Between them, a pavilion offers covered space for gathering, dining, or drying gear after a long walk in the woods. Together, the dwellings have built a reliable short-term rental, following-steady cash flow from travelers drawn to the solitude and access this place provides. Trails wind through the woods to connect with the broader network of Connecticut Hill, linking the property to a world of hunting, hiking, and exploration just beyond its borders. The forest itself is enrolled in New York's 480a program, reducing taxes while preserving habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife that thrive in the rolling canopy. From creek bottom to ridgeline, the land feels alive with movement, purpose, and potential. For the investor who values both numbers and nature, or the landowner who wants a place that pays its way, this property delivers both. A rare mix of seclusion, income, and access in the hills above Ithaca, it stands quietly apart from the crowd. Serious buyers must provide proof of funds or proof of pre-qualification to schedule a showing. This is a working AirBnB which will require showings to be based around the current rental schedule, please allow at least 24 hours to schedule a showing.
