Property Description
This is a rare opportunity to own a large acreage with abundant water frontage on Ely Lake. Ely Lake is 32 acres in size with only a few landowners adjoining it besides the Girl Scouts. This parcel has about 1,500 feet of frontage on the lake and is one of the single largest expanses of private lake front available. As such, this is a quiet, private lake with very few users making it a great destination property for rest and relaxation at your new home or camp on the lake.
The property is comprised of a mix of open, farmable land and forest. There is about 13-14 acres in farm fields and the balance is in forest. The forest is comprised of maple, ash, cherry, pine, hemlock, beech and more. No harvesting of timber has been done in some time, so the forest is in good condition.
There is excellent deer and turkey hunting available here and the pictures on the website show the abundance of deer at the time of photographing the property!
The property is being sold subject to the Girl Scouts reserving the oil and gas rights to the property. There is an existing oil and gas lease that affects the property being sold. There is no oil or gas well on the property and the lease is a subsurface only lease, meaning that the oil and gas company has no rights to use the surface of this property. Thus, no entry by them is granted nor is there any right to lay pipelines, roads, or to place oil or gas wells on this property.
Ideally located close to Montrose, Scranton and I-81, this is truly a once in a lifetime chance to own a beautiful property on a serene, small private lake.
