0 Starks Road, Newfield, NY 14867

Welcome to your next getaway that checks all the boxes! Electric at the road frontage, maintained road, mature timber, stream, close to Ithaca, close to public land and potential to build… check, check, check! Whether you are looking for a large property that is off the beaten path to develop your future home or a place to set up camp and develop habitat on your own land this is the place for you! The “front” of the property boasts nearly 600 feet of road frontage to pick out the ideal spot for all of the future endeavors on the property. As you move west through the property you will find a very diverse mix of mature timber, early successional apple trees, brush and mixed conifers. This diverse habitat creates a wildlife magnet for deer, turkey, small game, migratory birds and song birds alike. Continuing to the west you will find two converging gorges that typically run water year around. These creeks are perfect for flipping rocks, catching crawfish or packing a chair in to enjoy a cold beverage on the banks with the running water acting as your playlist. The land is generally sloping but could easily support miles of nature/hiking trails to get you through the entire property. A small section of the property was selectively harvested 7-8 years ago and there is still mature timber mixed throughout. The species mix includes hard and soft maple, red and white oak, hemlock along with red and white pine. The residual timber stand is in good condition to continue to accrue volume and value. If managed properly timber sales can generate a substantial amount of income to help with taxes or continue to improve the infrastructure on the property. Need more room? Newfield State Forest and Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area are just around the corner and comprise over 12,000 acres of public land for year around use. Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area boasts miles of hiking trails leading to beautiful views across the valley. Just 15-20 minutes to Ithaca and only minutes from Route 13 makes day trips and long weekends very feasible. Call today, you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity!
