2828 NYS Route 76 , Sherman, NY 14781(Chautauqua County)

New York mostly wooded land with timber, trails, shed and electric on property for sale.This is a terrific opportunity to own a larger acreage that is mostly wooded with great habitat areas for food plot development, a perfect secluded site to build a home or camp where the electric has been brought very near the site, along with terrific hunting and trails and a great long-term timber investment as well!The gravel driveway leads from the road to the campsite area which is cleared and has a newer wood-frame shed ready to store your toys and equipment.  There is an electric pole located near here where a former owner had a camper plug in for his use.  With a little effort, enough young trees and brush could be cleared looking west to open a nice view of the area. The property is truly a hunter’s paradise with areas of apple trees, brushy thickets, spruce and mixed pines, beautiful hemlock knolls and mixed hardwoods throughout.  Deer, turkey, grouse, squirrels, woodcock and bear are all found here.  Most areas of the property can be easily accessed by foot, ATV or other means on the well-maintained internal trail system.  The terrain is easy also, with only minor elevation changes throughout.The forest is comprised of hard maple, cherry, soft maple, ash, hemlock, beech, birch, plantations of pine and spruce, and more.  The forest has been managed well for a long time which is evident with the quality stocking of trees in all sizes.  A harvest exclusively of white ash was made a year ago to remove the ash timber before it succumbed to the emerald ash borer.  The forest still looks great after this harvest and final road grading was completed.  There is an estimated $45-$50,000 in timber here currently which will only continue to improve with time.  This value occurs on only about half the property currently as there are many young developing stands here that will increase in value over time.There is plenty of opportunity here to create better habitat for many species with food plots, feeder ponds, etc.  The numerous spring seeps on the property could also be captured to make a nice pond for your personal recreation as well.The property is only minutes from I-86, Chautauqua Lake, Chautauqua Institution, thousands of acres of NYS land and more.  All oil, gas, mineral and timber rights transfer and there are no leases on the property.Boundaries are all blazed and painted in orange which is faded in some spots, but easy to find along with the Posted signs on the boundaries.
