If you are in the market for a large acreage recreational property with potential home or 2^nd home development in the heart of the CNY/Southern Tier corridor, here it is!  Boasting various cover types throughout the property, harvestable timber, a four-season stream and power available at the road frontage the opportunities to build your dream are endless.

 Starting off the road frontage, you will see approximately 15 acres of previously open field that is reverting to woods from there to the creek. The diverse habitat creates endless opportunities for many different game and non-game species alike.  Having this much open land also gives many opportunities for potential building sites to enjoy the excellent view across the valley.  While walking this section of the property small game and big game sign is everywhere.  This area could also be cleared easily with a bulldozer which would allow for you to fence and pasture livestock to start your own hobby farm operation.  There is also a lot of potential for food plots to be strategically placed between the early successional brush areas to set yourself up for success this fall!

After crossing the creek there is no lack of sign for deer, turkey and grouse with abundant game trails throughout the hardwoods and along the edge of the drainages.  The edges of the streams are loaded with apple trees and brush, perfect for upland bird and whitetail habitat.  As you continue up the hill you will see a mix of hardwood species including maples, oak, cherry and beech. Presently, there are some mature sawtimber trees throughout the hillside that could be harvested to generate revenue immediately.

 After following the ATV trails to the top of the hill you will see a picturesque hardwood flat. The head of the drainages give you a perfect vantage point to look down the hill toward the hemlock bank near the stream. The flat on top of the hill is a wildlife magnet and an obvious pinch/transition point for game species to cross.  There are some pockets of former field/pasture that have grown into dense bedding habitat.

 Located almost directly in the center of Binghamton, Ithaca and Cortland you will have no trouble finding shopping, food or entertainment. This area is known for the public land opportunities including state parks, hiking trails and wildlife management areas all open to the public.
