Property Description
This is an excellent opportunity to own a fantastic multi-use property in a great rural location. This property has all the key features that are hard to find in a single property. Abundant road frontage provides for excellent building sites while providing plenty of room for privacy. There is about 12 acres of former horse pasture that can be reclaimed or allowed to convert to brush providing for more deer habitat. The access road at the north end of the road frontage provides access throughout the entire tract. This access is gated and locked. The road leads to a 32’ x 60’ pole barn that is in good condition. Next to the barn is a quaint 10’x20’ cabin, just right for coming in out of the cold or sitting on the porch and enjoying the warm summer breeze. Below and west of the buildings are about 3-4 acres of wildlife habitat food plots. Adjacent to the food plot location is the 1-2 acre beaver pond that attracts ducks and geese annually.
The balance of the property is completely wooded. There is 20-25 acres of mature spruce and larch plantation north of the access road that is in great condition and holding plenty of wildlife species. Adjacent to this is the more than 100 acres of hardwood forest that is comprised of hard maple, soft maple, cherry, ash, beech, hickory, hemlock and more. This is an excellent, young, growing timber stand and there currently is about $60-70,000 in timber value here that will only improve over time if managed well. Timber was last cut in 2005 and only removed white ash.
The property has excellent access throughout from past farming and logging road construction. This access provides opportunities for hiking, ATV’ing, cross-country skiing, mountain biking and much more. From taking a leisurely walk through the beautiful larch, spruce, hardwood forest and field areas, to hunting for big game, small game and waterfowl, you will be hard-pressed to find another property in this size class with this many attributes!
Deer and turkey hunting have been a mainstay on this property for decades. With plenty of food and cover available, you will be sure to find your future trophies here. The beaver pond has the added feature of providing a secluded feeding and resting area for ducks and geese, primarily ducks. Wood ducks and mallards are frequent visitors to this wonderful safe-haven.
Besides all there is to do here, this property is only minutes away from thousands of acres of NYS Lands that are open to the public, the West Side Overland Trail system is nearby, Chautauqua Lake is within a 10 minute drive, Chautauqua Institution is nearby, and Peek-N-Peak is also within a 20 minute drive. All of the best recreation that Chautauqua County has to offer is on or nearby this tract. Parcels in this size class and with these attributes sell quickly, so be sure to make your appointment soon!
All oil, gas, mineral and timber rights transfer. Property is subject to a subsurface (no wells or equipment can be located on this property) only gas lease for a gas well on neighboring property.
