Some properties offer a place to build. Others offer a place to explore. This 43± acre wooded tract in the Town of Lodi delivers the potential for both.

Set along a quiet country road adjacent the Finger Lakes National Forest, the land unfolds into a private stretch of timber that feels far removed from life’s fast pace. An established “drive way” works into the woods and begins carving a path toward the western side of the property—an early invitation to imagine where a home, cabin, or weekend retreat could take shape among the trees.

Follow the ever-so-slight rise of the land toward the western boundary and the landscape begins to hint at something special. Through the hardwoods, a view of Seneca Lake reveals itself—a quiet reminder, you’re standing in the heart of the Finger Lakes.

While the property offers the privacy many people seek it also sits within a landscape rich with wildlife and outdoor opportunity. Farmland is a mosaic throughout the area providing a steady draw for whitetail deer, while the thousands of acres of nearby Finger Lakes National Forest expand the horizon for hunting, hiking, and exploring well beyond the boundaries of the property itself.

Electric service is available at the road, adding practical convenience for those considering building. This land naturally lends itself to a mixed lifestyle—part home base, part outdoor playground with trail winding across it’s expanse.

Beyond the woods, the surrounding region adds another layer of appeal. The renowned Seneca Lake Wine Trail is just minutes away, offers wineries, breweries, and farm-to-table dining that define the character of the Finger Lakes. The villages of Ovid and Watkins Glen provide nearby services, while the lakes, parks, and scenic countryside create endless opportunities for recreation.

Finding 43+/- acres of entirely wooded land in Lodi is uncommon. Finding it with lake views, nearby public land, and a setting that supports both recreation and residential use takes the scarcity to another level. Here, the opportunity is simple: create a place where life can slow down, the woods can be explored, and the best of the Finger Lakes is always close at hand.
