Prime Hunting Land with Whitetail Sign Everywhere!
You won't believe the amount of deer sign on this prime hunting property! The property is mostly wooded with some brushy areas. With 2578 feet of road frontage on State Highway 171, it slopes upwards from the road and levels off on the top. The Seller is offering a FREE five (5) year lease to hunting in his adjoining 300 acre farm with the purchase of this property. Old logging trails provide access around the property, which was logged well over 15 years ago and offers future timber income potential. The woodlot is a mixture of soft and hardwoods, which are mainly oak and maple. Wild apples dot the brushy areas, providing an additional food source for the deer, wild turkey and other area wildlife. There is approximately 1780 feet of frontage on Moyer Creek, a tributary to the Mohawk River and there are 2 additional streams connecting down the hill through shallow ravines, which attract and funnel deer along the slope and up towards the benches and surrounding ag fields. There was good cell service while on the property and views overlooking the legendary Mohawk Valley.
