New York wooded land with timber and trails for sale. Properties of this size and caliber are few and far between in this part of the state. The Squires Road Sanctuary truly is your own slice of heaven, when in the middle of the property you won't hear anything but the wildlife surrounding you. There is a deeded 50' right-of-way from Squires Road that gives you access to the property. From this access you can get to all corners of the property using the powerline road and many other former logging roads.
The timber was inventoried in the spring of 2022. That cruise shows over 1.5 million board feet of timber, primarily red maple, red oak, sugar maple, hemlock and white ash. This property has been managed for years as a timber investment and you will find many large diameter trees throughout the property along with merchantable white ash to give you an immediate return on investment. Generally speaking, the timber is fairly tall, clean and with little defect or damage.
If you are more interested in hunting then this is also a property that has many different cover types to draw all types of game, large and small into the property. There are multiple clover food plots along the power line that are flourishing and have been worked for years. There is also a 2-3 acres field in the southwest corner of the property that is half corn and half brassicas. The northwest corner of the property is young forest with a maze of excellent trails punched through the brush creating top notch upland habitat. The mix of hemlock and hardwood stands along with the "edge" effect created by the powerline leave you with your favorite cover-type regardless of what species you prefer to hunt or photograph.
Chenango County is also known for its well-manicured state lands. Within minutes you can be cross country skiing or on horseback covering the hundreds of miles of trails CNY has to offer. There are also grocery stores, restaurants, golf courses and many other types of recreation in the area. This is an excellent multi-faceted property that has too many features to write, so spend some time and come see it for yourself!
