Chaffee Creek Road, Newfield, NY 14867

This large acreage property boasts a pond that is over 1/3 of an acre, an internal truck road that with some minor improvements would facilitate access with a 4WD vehicle from one end of the property to the other and mature timber that could provide immediate income opportunities and if managed correctly could be harvested every 10-15 years to help offset the tax burden.  Power is not available at the road frontage for this nearly 87-acre parcel. This property was selectively harvested approximately 10 years ago leaving behind mature red/white oak, hard/soft maple with some mixed softwood species including white pine and hemlock.  The harvest also created logging roads throughout both sides of the road which has made traversing the property on foot, horses or side by side a breeze.  The log landings on both sides of the road have created openings in the canopy that are ideal for a camper/RV, wall tent or off grid cabin to make those long weekends much easier. Throughout the oak flats and hemlock banks you will see abundant game trails, scrapes and rubs. Mast producing species like oak, hickory and beech are found throughout both sides of the road. The north side of the road has a dense understory of grasses, forbs and briars that collectively create a wildlife magnet and an excellent thick bedding area for deer, excellent brooding habitat for turkey and many species of song birds.  Boundary lines are well marked with orange blazes, flagging and three stripe throughout the entire property. Need more room? There are additional parcels listed for sale and you can jump across the boundary line and find yourself in the 1,500-acre Newfield State Forest that directly connects to the Connecticut Hill WMA that has over 11,000 acres. Hunting, Hiking, fishing and many other types of outdoor recreation await you. Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area boasts miles of hiking trails leading to beautiful views across the valley. Just 15-20 minutes to Ithaca and only minutes from Route 13 makes day trips and long weekends very feasible. Call today, your own slice of the southern tier is waiting for a new owner!
