Property Description
Across 171± acres in Chemung County, the land rises and falls through a broad sweep of timber where each ridge and hollow reveals something new. Oak and maple dominate the hardwood slopes, joined by cherry, aspen, hemlock and red pine, creating a forest rich in diversity, cover and character.
As you move deeper into the property, the landscape unfolds in layers. A network of old logging and access roads winds through the timber, making it easy to explore nearly every corner. Every bend suggests another ridge to climb, another hollow to investigate, and another reason to keep walking.
Natural terrain features create outstanding wildlife habitat. Saddles, benches, elevation changes and a healthy mix of mast-producing hardwoods provide excellent hunting opportunities and ideal locations for stands, food plots, trail systems and future habitat improvements.
Near the entrance off Hardscrabble Road, an old pasture provides a welcome contrast to the surrounding woods. Though now reclaimed by brush and young growth, it offers excellent potential to be restored as pasture, a wildlife opening, or the site for a barn or other improvements. Extensive road frontage provides convenient access and flexibility across the property's layout.
The three-bedroom, one-bath home offers a functional base with a distinctive asymmetrical design, spacious rooms and the opportunity for thoughtful updates to match the quality of the surrounding land.
Despite its secluded feel, the property is just minutes from Elmira and Horseheads, providing convenient access to shopping, dining, healthcare, regional air travel and everyday necessities. Watkins Glen and the Finger Lakes are also within easy reach.
For those seeking substantial acreage, diverse timber, exceptional hunting potential and a home base in New York's Southern Tier, this remarkable 171± acre property is ready for its next chapter.
