Description
This private oasis is very secluded on a seasonal use road, surrounded by the heavily wooded area, and really can be a hunter’s haven or great vacation camp for a real nature getaway. Nice trail system provides excellent access throughout the property for hiking or ATV, while the entire property lies mainly level. There is a stream that runs along the west side of the property offering approx. 1098’ of frontage and ends in a large natural beaver pond, a very inviting spot for wildlife and waterfowl. The property borders the 9000 acre Pharsalia Woods State Forest and offers additional hunting, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, snowmobiling, hiking and wildlife observation. There is a nine mile truck trail that passes atop a forested plateau and offers visitors many great views, a elevated covered viewing platform overlooking the approx. 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 approx. 11 miles of the NYS Snowmobile Trail systems in this State Forest, as well as approx. 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 provides 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.
Using this property as a base camp, additional outdoor activities can be found year round, with nearby Dorchester Park only approx. 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, and 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 approx. 40 minutes. A private location yet close to amenities in nearby Norwich, only approx. 8 miles away, or approx. 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 approx. 45 minutes as well. NYS/George Washington Bridge is approx. 3 hours 20 minutes. This affordable 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. Subsurface rights do not convey, but timbers right do convey with the property.
