Standardized Operating Procedure of Purchase

The entrance to this property doesn’t advertise itself as it slips off Gay Hollow Road and narrows into a private drive carried back through the trees until the land opens to a large expanse.
Seventy-eight acres stretch across the sprawling hillside with manageable topography and a treed landscape. The secluded single wide trailer is set with intention above the pond – a simple yet functional paring hidden among the otherwise untamed landscape. Two bedrooms, one bath, kitchen and living space, all supported by electric, septic, and running water. It’s a place to unwind and rest your head, not the centerpiece.

Out front, the deck and covered porch look down over the mirrored waters of the pond—a clean, well-stocked with bass and pan fish perfect for tight lines and big smiles. Just off the dock is a wood-fired sauna built for use after time in the woods or a long day outside.

The timber carries a canopy of maple and aspen carry the majority, with pockets of red and white pine adding cover and contrast. The hillside isn’t a straight push—it’s broken by a series of benches that give the land shape and purpose while two streams cut their way to the valley below. Each shelf creates natural travel routes, and it shows. Deer sign is consistent, while turkeys and even the occasional bear have been known to work and contours and flats.

This property’s location keeps things practical. Spencer and Candor are just minutes away, with the robust conveniences of Ithaca and Owego close enough to cover anything else. The broader Finger Lakes region adds depth with race weekends at Watkins Glen International, the gorge trails of Watkins Glen State Park, miles of vineyard and the numerous wineries and breweries along Finger Lakes Wine Trail are all within reach while nights out at Tioga Downs Casino Resort are just a short drive, too.
A great option for those looking for a reasonably priced escape tucked among the trees.
