Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Spencer, New York

Tucked into the rolling hills just south of Ithaca, this 65-acre woodland retreat offers a partially finished cabin with the foundation of a dream already in place. It's primed for an energetic and visionary new owner ready to take it to the next level. Well positioned to capture scenic views across the valley to the south and east, the cabin features a loft, multiple rooms, vaulted ceilings, ample windows and a durable metal roof. The covered deck provides a great spot for relaxing, dining, napping or simply enjoying the surrounding views while taking a break from the projects at hand. A stone driveway off the main road leads to a level base area suitable for vehicles, campers, boats or work equipment. Public water is on site for future use, while 200-amp electric service is already in place. A newer storage shed sits just above the cabin, and a rustic timber-frame outdoor pavilion with counter space provides an ideal setting for cookouts and campsite meals overlooking the valley. Beyond the cabin, old logging roads wind through the acreage and into the hills, offering miles of opportunities for hiking, camping, exploring and 4-wheeling. The property includes mature woodland, the upper reaches of the Cayuga Inlet and mature maple trees ready to be tapped for a late-winter sugaring project. Located less than 10 miles from Ithaca and Buttermilk Falls and Robert H. Treman State Parks, and just minutes from Danby State Forest and Lindsay-Parsons Biodiversity Preserve. Public access to the Cayuga Inlet for trout and salmon fishing are right close by. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, hunting camp, future homesite, camper base, recreational property or simply a place to enjoy the woods and outdoor projects, this versatile 65-acre property offers plenty of room to make it your own.
