Route 215, LOT#WP001 , Cortland, NY 13045(Cortland County)

Serious hunters looking for an outstanding property, well managed to produce trophy bucks, look no further. This property is ideally situated and has been meticulously managed to optimize whitetail hunting opportunities. Bordered by the Walden Oaks Country Club and Golf Course on the west, open meadows and active agricultural fields both north and south and heavily wooded land to the east, this property features very dense cover and habitat where mature whitetails find safety and solitude. The food plots have been strategically positioned to not only hold deer on the property but also to bring the deer into bow range. There are multiple food plots planted to corn, clover and brassicas, well established for this season, and ready for the new owner to hunt existing, very nice bucks living on this sanctuary-type property.  There is a nice tower stand overlooking a key area where the whitetail regularly pass. Further diversity of the land is provided by a large, natural beaver pond and 3242’ +/- of stream traverses this property. Marketable timber is ready for harvest within the approx. 125 acres of mix hardwoods (oak and maple primarily), softwoods and pine woodlot. There are also many wild apple trees located throughout, and along with the acorn mast from the many oaks on the property, both types of trees provide additional feed for deer, wild turkey and other local wildlife.   ATV trails offer easy access throughout all of the property areas. There is an electrical transmission line which borders and then cuts through the mid section, providing additional food plot areas, additional browsing and forage for whitetail as well as serve as shooting lanes. There are a couple of options for nice building locations for a new home, cabin or camp, with electrical service at the road and excellent cell service on the property. The Tioughnioga River is only a few miles east of this property and offers excellent fishing for trout, bass, pike, walleye and perch among other species. Tuller Hill State Forest with 2497 acres is only approx. 8 miles away providing additional hunting as well as fishing, camping and miles of maintained trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. Downhill skiing, snowboarding in the winter and ziplining & mountain biking are available within approx. 10 minutes at Greek Peak Mountain Resort, approx. 7 miles away. Located literally just outside Cortland, this property provides access to all the amenities the new owner might need. Ithaca is approx. 30 minutes away and home to Cornell University, Ithaca College and the longest of the Finger Lakes, Cayuga Lake, which is approx. 38 miles long; second largest in NYS and provides water sports, beaches, as well as outstanding fishing for trout, bass, perch, northern pike and atlantic salmon. Award winning wineries, restaurants and artisanal shops along the Finger Lakes Wine Trail (America’s first wine trail) and the best NYS waterfalls and outdoor recreation, including Buttermilk Falls State Park and Taughannock Falls State Park, are in the surrounding area. Binghamton is approx. 45 minutes away and New York City/George Washington Bridge is approx. 3.5 hours. This is a great opportunity to own a really top notch hunting/recreational property that includes several choices of building lots, with private space for outdoor activities, but very close to amenities in Cortland, Finger Lakes and Southern Tier.
