Private, affordable hunting retreat actively managed for whitetail in the heart of the Leatherstocking Region of CNY, renowned for its area world class attractions and wildlife.  Upon entering from the gated driveway off the year round maintained town road, property is easy to access by foot, truck or ATV as the topography is fairly flat and easy to traverse with no steep hills, and a very nice trail system throughout the property. There is a nice cabin approximately 16 x 12, with a loft and screened in porch, that sleeps 4-6 easily, heated by woodstove with a separate indoor bathroom, wired for solar panels which run the lights and ceiling fan.

The property is mostly wooded with a variety of trees, including a mix of hardwoods (cherry ash, maple and beech) as well as hemlock with some timber which could be harvested. In the open areas, along the food plots, there are wild blueberries which attract a multitude of wildlife as well as the owner has planted several apple trees to further attract the deer and wild turkey. In addition to the food plots, there was nice undergrowth with forbes and other berry bushes for natural browse. There were a lot of deer sign noted, including a nice buck in the back of the field when walking this property in June, and tracks all over and several buck rubs from last year were spotted. The property offers food plot areas along with brushy cover and areas to bed down, nice for attracting and holding whitetail deer, turkey and area wildlife.
