Tucked away on the corner of Lawrence Road and Vinegar Hill Road in the rolling hills of south NY, this 82.27± acre property is the kind of place that makes you want to pull on your boots and start exploring! With 1,600 feet of frontage on Lawrence Road and another 2,400 feet on Vinegar Hill Road, access is easy from multiple directions, and power is available at the road.

Sitting between 1,500 and 1,600 feet of elevation, the rolling topography is broken up by several drainages that create a nice mix of cover types and plenty of natural travel corridors for wildlife. A 1/3-acre pond adds to the appeal, whether you want to watch the wildlife come in for a drink or just sit on the bank at the end of the day. The property was managed for timber production for decades and it shows. The forest is a mix of hardwoods including maple, cherry, ash, oak and beech, with scattered stands of hemlock that provide excellent thermal cover in the winter months. The last harvest was over 15 years ago, and there is merchantable timber on the property today. If managed sustainably, the timber could be harvested every 10–15 years to generate revenue and help offset property taxes. Small areas of younger timber and brush break up the mature woods and create the thick cover and browse that deer and grouse love. Game trails run throughout the property, and there was deer, bear, turkey and partridge sign, along with many species of songbirds. The oak and beech provide a great mast crop in the fall to keep the critters coming back.

An existing ATV trail system makes getting around the property a breeze, whether you're checking trail cameras, hauling a deer out or just enjoying a ride with the family. There is a great building site ready for your home, hunting camp or weekend getaway. Railroad tracks run along the south side of Vinegar Hill Road. Only minutes from Route 17, this property offers the seclusion you're looking for with your amenities still within reach. Call today to schedule your showing!
