Description
Set against the quiet backdrop of northern Oswego County, this 6.68±-acre retreat near Lacona captures the essence of a true camp in the woods - simple, serene, and surrounded by beauty. The property shares a border with Trout Brook State Forest, opening the door to thousands of acres of public land while preserving a deep sense of privacy rarely found so close to it. A gated drive welcomes you off the road and leads to a well-designed dry cabin tucked neatly within a blend of open ground and mixed northern woods. Nearly complete in its construction, the cabin's craftsmanship and intent are evident at every turn - roughly 95% finished and ready for a new owner's finishing touches. A wood stove warms the main living area, and six solar panels line the roof, with two currently connected to provide steady off-grid power. The additional four panels remain available to expand capacity for those who wish to enhance the system. Inside, plumbing is in place and connected, though the final sink hookup remains for the next owner to complete. The simple bathroom includes a camp-style septic and a toilet that functions when manually filled, offering comfort and practicality without complication. Behind the cabin, a low stone wall marks the edge of the property before the land drops gently toward Trout Brook - a clear, cold stream whispering through the ravine below. The natural barrier of water and terrain means near-total seclusion, with virtually no foot traffic from beyond. Follow the road a short distance to Lot #8, and you'll find a scenic walk along the brook itself - one of the area's quiet pleasures. Known for excellent deer hunting and endless outdoor recreation, this pocket of Oswego County offers something for every outdoorsperson. Whether your plans involve finishing the cabin, chasing whitetails, or simply enjoying quiet weekends under the pines, this property feels like it's exactly where you're meant to be - private, peaceful, and perfectly placed between adventure and rest. Seller requires an agent present for all showings. Proof of funds or proof of pre-qualification is needed to schedule a showing to serious buyers.
