White Rd, Parish, NY 13131

If you are an outdoor enthusiast that desires a view of nature off your front porch this property may be perfect for you! This ~10-acre parcel with ~1.25-acre farm pond, likely attached to the 1800’s era farmstead across the road, is packed with all the wildlife that a small body of water seems to attract. Stone fences and rock piles found along the boundaries are evidence of a time when clearing the land was essential to plant crops and graze beef and dairy cows. Spring fed farm ponds and wells were a necessity to keep livestock watered. I witnessed two wood ducks take flight, a painted turtle slide of a floating log into the water, a water snake sunning itself on the grassy bank and a variety of frogs, hopping in the shallows. Stone and barb wire around the perimeter of the parcel was evidence that livestock were pastured here. When grazing stopped, the land gradually returned to forest. Based on the abundance of food resources, water, cover, and physical evidence, game species that either live on, or frequent the property include: whitetail deer, black bear, snowshoe hare, ruffed grouse, turkey, and a mixed bag of waterfowl. There is a desirable mix of tree species present. Some timber was harvested over 20 years ago (2014-2016). Existing logging trails make excellent x-country skiing, snow-shoeing, hiking, and ATV trails. The predominant sawtimber species found on the property include: sugar & red maple, yellow birch, eastern hemlock, white ash, American basswood, white pine, American beech, and quaking aspen. Some of the best fishing in the country is less than 30 miles away; the Salmon River, famous for its king and coho salmon, brown trout, steelhead, and rainbow trout, or Lake Ontario for more of the same, plus; walleye, bass, pike, and perch. Electric and communication utilities are available roadside. All rights transfer to the new owner. Also, the property boundaries and existing corner markers are flagged and painted.
