From the moment you turn onto fully maintained Bull Hill Road that splits the property, the landscape truly makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. With 4,000 feet of road frontage and power available at the roadside, the land is ready for whatever vision you bring! Single family home development, a weekend retreat or a solid long-term investment! The timber has been professionally managed for decades to produce high quality hardwood and softwood saw logs. The main hardwood species are red oak, hard/soft maple and cherry. A forester estimated there to be over 700,000 board feet of hardwood timber to be present on the property. The last harvest was conducted approximately 10 years ago to remove white ash and hemlock. There are also softwood species including hemlock, white pine and larch. These species would be perfect to mill yourself and build your camp or pole barn. If managed the timber can be harvested sustainably to generate revenue to help offset land taxes or to continue making improvements on the property. The size and specifically the layout and shape of the property create an excellent opportunity for development and subdivision. 4000’ of road frontage on three different roads just off route 13 make this an ideal property and location for development and subdivision. Bordering public land, the property feels even larger than its deeded acreage. Deer, turkey, and countless songbird species call Bull Hill home, making it ideal for those who love to hunt, observe wildlife, or simply share space with the natural world. Whether you’re hiking, riding ATVs, snowshoeing in winter, or exploring with a dog at your side, the land offers endless adventure. Despite its deep sense of seclusion, the property is just a short drive from Ithaca, Cornell University, and the Finger Lakes — giving you access to culture, dining, lakes, and amenities whenever you want them. It’s the perfect balance: close enough to convenience, far enough to feel like your own private world.
This large acreage property boasts a pond that is over 1/3 of an acre, an internal truck road that with some minor improvements would facilitate access with a 4WD vehicle from one end of the property to the other and mature timber that could provide immediate income opportunities and if managed correctly could be harvested every 10-15 years to help offset the tax burden. Power is not available at the road frontage for this nearly 87-acre parcel. This property was selectively harvested approximately 10 years ago leaving behind mature red/white oak, hard/soft maple with some mixed softwood species including white pine and hemlock. The harvest also created logging roads throughout both sides of the road which has made traversing the property on foot, horses or side by side a breeze. The log landings on both sides of the road have created openings in the canopy that are ideal for a camper/RV, wall tent or off grid cabin to make those long weekends much easier. Throughout the oak flats and hemlock banks you will see abundant game trails, scrapes and rubs. Mast producing species like oak, hickory and beech are found throughout both sides of the road. The north side of the road has a dense understory of grasses, forbs and briars that collectively create a wildlife magnet and an excellent thick bedding area for deer, excellent brooding habitat for turkey and many species of song birds. Boundary lines are well marked with orange blazes, flagging and three stripe throughout the entire property. Need more room? There are additional parcels listed for sale and you can jump across the boundary line and find yourself in the 1,500-acre Newfield State Forest that directly connects to the Connecticut Hill WMA that has over 11,000 acres. Hunting, Hiking, fishing and many other types of outdoor recreation await you. 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, your own slice of the southern tier is waiting for a new owner!
