Property Description

Escape to this impressive 63-acre recreational and hunting property located in the southeast corner of Steuben County in the Town of Caton NY. Enjoy the privacy of this rural setting with more than 2,000 feet of frontage along two roads providing excellent access to the property. An existing clearing along a quiet, year-round gravel road offers an ideal location to build a home, camp, or cabin of your own. Electric and internet are available at the road, and the elevated setting provides attractive views of the distant rolling hills. From the clearing, miles of established and maintained trails wind throughout the property providing excellent access for hiking, riding, and hunting. The current owner has focused on creating quality wildlife habitat through strategic timber harvests that have encouraged dense regeneration and created exceptional bedding and cover throughout the property. Located in an area known for an abundance of wildlife, the property offers an excellent opportunity for the next owner to take advantage of the improvements already in place. Adding to the diversity of the land is a freshwater shrub wetland along the eastern portion of the property providing additional wildlife habitat and a unique change in landscape. Much of the property is enrolled in New York State's 480-a Forest Tax Law Program, significantly reducing the property taxes. This is an impressive location for the outdoor enthusiast, conveniently situated just 7 miles south of Corning, 15 miles west of Elmira, and only 5 miles north of the Pennsylvania state line. Additional recreational opportunities are nearby, including the Tioga River just 5 miles away and Cowanesque Lake approximately 12 miles south in Tioga County, Pennsylvania. The more than 1,000-acre lake and surrounding public lands provide opportunities for fishing, boating, hunting, and other outdoor recreation. Multiple New York State Forests are also located within a short drive of the property.
