0 Wheeler Hollow , Hancock, NY 13783(Delaware County)

Wheeler Hollow is a vast tract of forestland ideal for hunting, investment or simple recreation. Located in Upstate NY, it is comprised of mostly hardwood trees with some stands of softwoods. It is located on a right-of-way private 4wd road and there is no electric here. It gets its name from the creek that runs down through the middle of the property, drawing wildlife to and through the land. This game filled property includes white-tail deer, turkey, partridge, squirrel, fox, coyote, bear and bobcat. Various types of Oak trees provide adequate mast for deer, with many White Oaks, which deer love. ATV and jeep trails exist throughout. If you want to build an off-grid cabin, there are decent spots with potential views. As an Investment- This is what the big investors do, such as J. P. Morgan: "Investing in core timberland can bring a variety of benefits to investors' portfolios, including managing inflation risk, a regular income, and enhanced diversification, while also capturing carbon and generating verified carbon assets (VCAs)". But by buying timberland yourself and not joining an investment fund, you get the use and enjoyment from the tangible asset itself. This property is enrolled in the NY State 480-a program. Also known as the "forest tax law", this is a program designed to manage timber growth for "sustained yield". Additionally, enrollment in the program slashes your property taxes significantly.
