Land for Sale in Franklin, New York

A parcel this size doesn't come up often anymore. 152+/- acres, held as one contiguous, undivided tract - Most land coming to market in Delaware County today has already been split; a holding this large, still whole, is for a buyer who wants real scale - room to hunt, ride, farm, timber, or simply not see a neighbor , this could be the place. The property sits in the western foothills of the Catskill Mountains, Town of Franklin, with the Catskill Park boundary just to the southeast, in the Ouleout Creek watershed that feeds the East Sidney Reservoir system. Terrain is rolling and largely forested, with a mix of timber, some open and tillable ground, and trails already cut across the property. At this size, you can hunt, ride, and roam without leaving your own land - a real advantage. Whitetail deer, turkey, bear, and small game are all part of the local mix. In winter, the surrounding area connects into a large network of maintained snowmobile trails, local clubs keep hundreds of miles open throughout the county, with the Catskill Scenic Trail and Delaware Wild Forest nearby for more riding, hiking, and skiing. A parcel this size is also well suited to New York State's forest and county land management and conservation programs, which can lower carrying costs on managed timberland - worth a conversation with a DEC forester. The Village of Franklin, a National Register historic district on NY-357, is minutes away. Oneonta - full shopping, dining, hospital access - is about 11 miles north; Walton is roughly 12-14 miles south; Delhi and Sidney are both a short drive. Close enough to village amenities for convenience, remote enough to stay private.
