Property Description
Located just minutes from Richford and under half an hour to Ithaca and Cornell University, this multi-parcel property delivers a rare combination of convenience, seclusion, and recreational opportunity. Spanning three parcels and boasting access from both Brummage and West Creek Roads, the land is positioned for those seeking an accessible rural retreat with tremendous diversity. Anglers will appreciate that public access to the West Branch of Owego Creek is directly across the street-offering immediate trout fishing without ever starting the truck. And for hikers, hunters, and nature lovers, nearly 500 acres of nearby public land, including Potato Hill, Anderson Hill, and Robinson Hill State Forests, open the door to days of exploration and solitude just minutes away. Beyond the access and location, the land itself is the true standout. Carefully managed under a NYS 480a forestry plan, the acreage features a rich mosaic of timber species, including maple, poplar, oak, aspen, hemlock, and both red and white pine. A dense stand of planted pine adds future income potential, while various-aged maple creates long-term sustainability and habitat variety. Because there is a limited building site availability seller is willing to potentially provide a credit (TBD) the the buyer for amendment to the 480a to relocate the buildable area. Two scenic ravines cut through the property, each hosting a seasonal creek that spills downhill toward the Owego Creek basin. During peak flow, these streams transform into a series of picturesque waterfalls-natural focal points in an already beautiful landscape. From West Creek Road, the terrain rises gently and is easily explored on foot or ATV via a system of logging trails. The elevation and cover make this a prime destination for deer hunters, who'll also benefit from dual road access to play the wind. With potential build sites near the road frontage, there's also an opportunity to create your own base camp or forever home. Whether you're drawn by the allure of a well-managed forest, the call of a rising trout, or the quiet thrill of autumn in the woods, this property offers a piece of it all-close to town, yet far from ordinary.
