Description
If you've been dreaming of land, real land, with rolling hills, wooded trails, open pastures, and the kind of seclusion that only the countryside can offer, this is your chance. Welcome to your forever escape: a sprawling 483-acre property nestled in the hills of Swain, NY, right up against the Swain Ski Resort and crossed by the peaceful Canaseraga Creek. At the heart of the property sits a custom-built cedar chalet, offering 1,900 square feet of rustic comfort. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this home was thoughtfully designed with nature in mind. Step into a spacious living room with oversized picture windows that flood the space with natural light and frame sweeping views of the valley below. A huge walk-out basement offers bonus space to spread out or entertain, while the wraparound deck invites you to take in the sunrise with your morning coffee or unwind at sunset after a long day in the woods. The home's mechanical systems are solid and functional, with heating powered by both propane and electric sources. It's a blank slate for someone ready to put their own touch on it without worrying about the bones underneath. A towering oak tree stands proudly next to the house, and just downhill from it, a serene pond adds charm and quiet to your backyard view. A four-car garage with a spacious loft above offers plenty of storage for vehicles. Down the hill, a sturdy barn with a stone and concrete foundation stands strong. An almost 2000-foot driveway provides both exceptional privacy and a sense of arrival. And if that's not enough, tucked higher on the hillside is a rustic cabin- once the heart of family gatherings, now waiting to be revived into something special again. But what truly sets this property apart is the land. Two mountain tops, almost 40 acres of former pastureland, and a rich forest made up of oak, maple, hickory, and cherry offer unmatched recreational opportunities. With established trails throughout, you can hike, hunt, or ride for hours without leaving your own property. This land backs up to Swain Ski Resort, giving you easy access to winter fun and year-round scenic views. Multiple creeks, including the Canaseraga, weave through the terrain, adding to the natural magic here. For outdoor enthusiasts and hunters, this property is a dream. The woods and fields are absolutely loaded with deer and turkey sign, showing heavy use and strong game activity throughout. Whether you're setting up for archery season or planning spring gobbler hunts, you'll find the habitat and terrain here support a thriving population of wildlife year after year. This land is forever protected to remain in its current use. With conservation easements in place through the Genesee Valley Conservancy, you can rest easy knowing its wild and agricultural character will be preserved for generations. Plus, the property is intersected by the renowned Finger Lakes and North Country Trail systems, putting endless adventure right at your doorstep. This is more than just a place to live. It's a lifestyle perfect for those who crave nature, independence, and endless possibilities. Whether you're looking to create a homestead, a retreat, or a private outdoor paradise, this Swain sanctuary is calling. Will you answer?
