Standardized Operating Procedure of Purchase

There are very few properties that truly check all the boxes, this is one of them. This property features approximately 900’ of frontage with power at the road frontage so it will be easy to pick a spot for your future home or camp and start building!

As you enter the property you will first find rolling fenced hay fields that are located on well drained soil that are being tended by a local farmer. These fields are approximately 11 acres as they sit right now but could be expanded to around 20 acres as there is currently a small golden rod field that could easily be tilled and seeded. This golden road could also be turned into a “hidden” food plot, the topography lays such that it would not be seen from the road. These fields could also be used for a small beef operation with each area being used as a separate paddock, rotating your livestock could be quick and easy.

Another great feature of the property is the mature timber located throughout that could generate income as soon as you close. This timber could be managed and harvested every 10-15 years to help offset your tax burden or provide income to jump start your home development. Hard maple, cherry and ash are the primary hardwood species and various stems throughout are over 20” in diameter. There is also an opportunity to harvest hemlock that would be sawn and used to help offset material costs of any outbuildings, hunting blinds etc. The former logging roads could be easily opened up with some elbow grease to allow ATV traffic to all corners of the property.

Along the western corner across the stream you can cross your boundary line and you will find yourself on over 6,800 acres of state land. The McDonough State Forest is known for the finger lakes trail network, main snowmobile trails and an excellent network of other hiking and skiing trails. McDonough State Forest also adjoins Bowman Lake State Park known for excellent camp sites and RV sites. A short ten minute drive will get you to Norwich where you can find all of your amenities, restaurants and entertainment.
