If you are an outdoor enthusiast that desires to mingle with nature, this property may be perfect for you! This 74.23 deeded acres parcel, with a 1⁄4 acre farm pond, open meadows, and diverse forest, is packed with a desirable mix of plant species and favorable conditions for more wildlife than you might imagine! Stone and barb wire fence along the property boundaries, is evidence of a time when clearing the land was essential to plant crops and graze beef and dairy cows. A spring-fed farm pond was a necessity to keep livestock watered. Another feature, a retired gravel pit, was reclaimed years ago by planting pine trees.

The meadows are gradually returning to forest. The current vegetation there attracts a wide variety of wildlife species, from honeybees to deer. Native game species that either live on, or frequent the property, include: whitetail deer, snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, turkey, and woodcock. There is a desirable mix of tree and shrub species present on the property. There is no evidence of recent timber harvesting, resulting in a wide range of tree sizes from seedlings to large sawtimber. . Existing trails throughout the property would make excellent x-country skiing, snow-shoeing, hiking, bird watching and ATV trails. Some of the best fishing in the country is less than 30 miles away; the Salmon River, famous for its king and coho salmon, brown trout, steelhead, and rainbow trout, or Lake Ontario for more of the same, plus; walleye, bass, pike, and perch.

This would be an ideal property for those desiring to build a country home and commute to work in Syracuse, Oswego, or Pulaski in less than 30 minutes. Electric and communication utilities are available roadside. All rights transfer to the new owner. Property boundaries and corner markers are flagged and painted.
