Standardized Operating Procedure of Purchase

Three parcels come together here, forming a single stretch of ground defined by variation in both cover and contour. The land carries a steady sense of purpose—suited for hunting, recreation, and long-term stewardship. A well-managed timber stand spreads across the acreage, composed of both hardwoods and softwoods, all enrolled in a NYS 480a forestry management plan that reflects deliberate care over time, reinforced by significant tax savings.

From West Creek Road, the property lifts at a gradual grade. Movement across it feels natural, aided by a network of logging roads that reach into the interior. Two ravines draw down from the higher ground, shaping the terrain and creating distinct pockets of habitat. Seasonal creeks follow these lines, threading their way toward the Owego Creek basin with several small waterfalls.

A stand of planted pine holds tight and consistent, positioned with an eye toward future potential return. Maple of various age classes dominates the landscape, supported by a mix that includes white and red pine, hemlock, poplar, aspen, and oak. The composition shifts as you move, giving each section its own feel without losing continuity across the whole.

Frontage along Brummage Road and West Creek Road allows access from either side, offering flexibility in how the land is approached and used. The same frontage presents locations worth exploring for potential building, subject to proper diligence. Directly across the road, public access to the West Branch of Owego Creek places trout water within easy reach.

The setting stays quiet without feeling removed. Richford is close by for essentials, while Ithaca sits within a comfortable drive, bringing a broader range of services, culture, and connection. State lands in the surrounding area, including Potato Hill, Andersen Hill, and Robinson Hollow, expand the footprint of opportunity, along with additional nearby public acreage.

Seller financing is a possibility and flexibility to adjust the location of the potential build site exists with further exploration of the 480a.
