Standardized Operating Procedure of Purchase

Starkweather Forest offers a superb 12+/- acre recreational and rural development opportunity with 470+/- feet of maintained road frontage among a quiet forested landscape. Within central New York’s Tug Hill region in Northwestern Oneida County, Starkweather Forest sits just 4 miles west of McConnellsville, New York and 8 miles north of Oneida Lake’s shoreline. The property is accessed along Elpis Road within a neighborhood of full-time and seasonal residences as well as large, wooded lots, both private and state owned.

The terrain is flat with an east facing hillside in the southeastern corner of the property which leads to a small creek. This tributary flows south from the Little River, under Elpis Road, into Starkweather Pond to the southwest. The property appears to offer several suitable building sites along with local electric access available at the road for quiet rural living. A mixture of mature to mid-rotational trees populate the entirety of the parcel and include white pine, hemlock, spruce, and red maple.

The area abounds in recreation with Oneida Lake and Lake Ontario nearby, as well as plenty of golf within nearby towns and hamlets. Just northeast into the Tug Hill plateau both state parks and ski trails add to the variety of opportunities. The proximity to I-90 and I-81 allow access to much of New York State. Syracuse and Utica are only a 40-minute drive, while Buffalo and Albany, New York as well as Pennsylvania and Canada can each be reached in under 3 hours.
