196 Acres of Recreational Land for Sale in Castle Creek, New York

This diverse property is well situated on US Route 11, just minutes from Castle Creek and easy access on/off Interstate 81 north or south at Exit 7. The land lies level at the road, with a driveway into the property, open area/meadows and power available. There is a ~30'x60' tall metal storage building, which could be used for storing equipment or converted to other uses such as hunting camp, farming, or potential business development. A former ice cream stand is also in place and being sold "as is." Beyond the open areas and brushy meadows, the property slopes upwards and levels at the top, with a stream cutting through a shallow ravine from the heavily wooded hillside and crossing through the property. The diverse topography, with the ravine, hillside benches and open level areas, is ideal for whitetail hunting, providing both funnels for deer movement, cover, bedding areas and browse not only for deer but also wild turkey, grouse and other native area wildlife. A trail system for hiking or ATV provides access to the back of the property. The woods are a mix of hardwoods, including a lot of oak, maple and cherry, as well as white pine and hemlock, providing potential additional income source with future timber harvests.
