Salmon River Country Lot

Description

If you are an outdoor enthusiast that desires the opportunity to fully engage with nature, this property may be perfect for you!  On this 10.28 acre, recently surveyed parcel, you will find stone fences and barb wire along the boundaries as evidence of a time when clearing the land was a top priority.  Farming was both a livelihood, as well as a means of survival.

Land characteristics of this parcel include a slightly sloped terrain from a high and dry northeast corner to a relatively wet woods, southwest corner.  Stone and barb wire around the perimeter is evidence that livestock were once pastured here.  When grazing stopped, the land gradually returned to forest.  The current vegetation attracts a wide variety of wildlife species.  Based on the abundance of food resources, water, cover, and physical evidence, major game species that either live on, or frequent the property include: whitetail deer, black bear, snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, and turkey.

There is a desirable mix of soft and hardwood tree species present.  Some timber was harvested over 10 years ago (2014-2016).  Existing logging trails make excellent x-country skiing, snow-shoeing, hiking, and ATV trails.  The predominant sawtimber species found on the property include:  sugar & red maple, yellow birch, eastern hemlock, white ash, American basswood, white pine, American beech, and quaking aspen.  Less numerous tree species present include;  apple, elm, American hornbeam and Eastern hophornbeam, hawthorn and grey birch.  In addition, there was an abundance of hazel shrub growing on this lot.

Some of the best fishing in the country is less than 30 miles away; the Salmon River, famous for its king and coho salmon, brown trout, steelhead, and rainbow trout, and Lake Ontario for more of the same, plus; walleye, bass, pike, and perch.

This would be an ideal property for someone to build a country home with a short commute to Syracuse, Oswego, or Pulaski in less than 30 minutes.  Electric and communication utilities are available roadside.  All rights transfer to the new owner.  Also, the property boundaries and existing corner markers are flagged, blazed, and painted.

People from all over come to this region for its great outdoor attractions, rural atmosphere, and friendly, welcoming residents.  Hospitals, grocery, hardware, and department stores are less than 30 minutes away in neighboring communities.  In addition, The Syracuse International Airport is found off 81, just north of the city.  Snowmobile trail C5 is just minutes east and the best ATV trails are further north on the Tug Hill Plateau of Jefferson and Lewis Counties.
