Whispering Pines

Description

Welcome to the secluded paradise you have been looking for. This over 53-acre property borders the well-known 9,000-acre Pharsalia Woods State Forest and boasts over 2000’ of road frontage! You really won’t find many that see less traffic than this property, located on a seasonal road that includes a trout stream.  Electric service is not available at the road frontage but would be perfect for an off-grid camp to host your friends and family for many seasons to come. Mineral rights will also be retained by the seller.

As soon as you enter the property the first thing you will notice is the trout stream that borders the west side of the property.  This area of Chenango County is known for its trout fishery boasting both brown and native brook trout.  The stream meanders and narrows to the north end of the property which makes it perfect for a campsite or just a great place to flip rocks with the kids.

The next main feature you will notice are the towering native white pines that cover the property that could bring potential value if harvested now and if done so correctly could generate revenue for many decades down the road.  Mixed throughout the pine trees are maples, birch, cherry and beech.  Throughout the property are former logging trails to get you to all corners of the property.  They will also make excellent hiking trails throughout the completely wooded property.  You can also drop your snowmobiles and be on the snowmobile trail

There is no lack of deer or turkey sign, there are well beaten wildlife paths that cross through the interior of the property.  The flat terrain with young bedding areas for deer that will also hold grouse and woodcock.  I even saw a pair of mallards in the stream when visiting the property.  This area is also known to have a higher population of black bears because of the vast areas of undeveloped land.  Chenango County is known as one of the prime areas because of the many areas of public land within a short distance including Pharsalia WMU, Balsam Swamp State Forest, Five Streams State Forest and Bowman Lake State Park.

The City of Norwich is only a short 15 minute drive for supplies and restaurants.  Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to purchase your next secluded getaway. Give Brad a call today to schedule a showing!
