This property is ideally situated, largely wooded, mostly with mature oaks, which provide acorn mast for wildlife and smaller trees, bushes, and undergrowth for shelter. At the same time, nearby ag fields attract whitetail and wild turkey to transverse the area. There is a mix of hardwoods and softwoods, with some timber ready now. There was an excellent whitetail sign when the property was recently visited. With a driveway in place to pull into the property, a perfect trail system runs through the property, providing access throughout by ATV and possibly truck at some points. There are excellent choices for a building lot for a year-round home with electricity available at the paved road or an ideal hunting cabin or great getaway camping spot. The property has flat areas, a gentle incline easily climbed, and many good locations along the trails and pathways to strategically locate tree stands or blinds. There is a stream towards the back of the property. With its heavily wooded area, surrounded by other woods and fields, this habitat provides good options for deer and wildlife to shelter and bed down. The property is located only 2.4 miles from the Aqua-Terra Wilderness Area, which offers an additional 466 acres with a 6-acre pond providing a secluded fishing experience and opportunities for wildlife-watching. Aqua-Terra Wilderness Area is also a participant in the Broome County Hiking Program. The property is 11 miles from Skyline Drive State Forest, providing additional hunting and hiking, camping, and fishing on its 533 additional acres. There was also good cell service on the property. Amenities, entertainment, restaurants, and shopping are close by, with Binghamton only 5 miles away. Scranton is one hour. NYC/George Washington Bridge is just 2 hours 45 mins away. This is a wonderful private sanctuary, with an excellent option for home or cabin sites or camping/hunting getaways.
