153 Acres of Recreational Land for Sale in Cincinnatus, New York

A beautiful private location with a mix of open fields and woods, bordering 865 acres of Gee Brook State Forest, makes this an ideal property for any number of uses: small farm, hunting camp, or vacation getaway with plenty of room for large gatherings. There is an old farmhouse with an addition that looks like it could have been a schoolhouse back in the day, being sold "as is", as it being habitable with renovation is questionable. In addition, there is a gambrel roof, a two-story dairy barn built c. 1940, with a 1970 one-story 38' x 100' addition both with a metal roof that appears in decent shape and offers many possibilities for use. There is an electric pole on the property for service as well as a well (see photo) and believed to be a septic.The condition of both of those is unknown. The fields, which appear to be well-drained & mostly level or gentle rolling grades, could be brought back into active use by the new owner or leased out to area farmers for additional income. There was abundant whitetail deer and wild turkey sign when last walked. The diverse habitat provides an ideal location for browsing along the hedgerows, open fields, and woods for bedding and cover. Many good locations to strategically place tree stands and the property is easily accessible by foot or ATV. The woodlot is a mix of hardwoods, including maple, cherry, ash, and beech mostly, as well as softwoods.
