Big Oak Beauty

Located just off Rt 417, less than 5 miles from Wellsville on a quiet country road you will find a true gem located in the heart of New York’s southern tier. The “Big Oak Beauty” has it all, mature timber, excellent ATV trail system, power at the road and a large 60’x60’ concrete slab that would be perfect for your new home or hunting cabin.  As you enter the property from Wightman Rd. you will see a former logging trail that meanders up along the edge of the pines to the pinnacle of the hill where it splits and can take you to all corners of the property. The planted scotch pine creates a diverse habitat with a dense understory perfect for small game and big game alike.  There was ample deer and turkey sign throughout the property. The hardwoods surrounding the pine plantation are a mix of northern hardwood species including red oak, white oak, hard maple and soft maple.  This open hardwood stand provides excellent vantage points throughout the property.  There is mature timber that could be harvested now to generate revenue as soon as the property closes. It was estimated by a forester to be over 50,000 board feet of hardwood sawtimber.  If managed sustainably this could provide a steady revenue stream every 10-15 years to help offset property taxes. After going across the top of the ridge you will find a beautiful open hardwood bank on the south side of the property. This is a gentle bank also has ATV trails carved into the side of the hill to make excellent hiking or ATV trails. The slope is minimal so walking with friends and family is a breeze and really does feel like a walk in the park! If you are looking for a large piece of property to build, hunt or just enjoy that is still a quick drive to all of your amenities this is the property that you are looking for. This property has it all and won’t last long so give a call today to schedule your showing!
