255 Seymour Hill Rd, Harpursville, NY 13787

Affordable hunting/vacation getaway, stream, borders NYS

This great affordable property with well and electric present lies relatively flat and provides a diverse habitat for wildlife: mostly wooded mixed hard and soft woods with oaks present, but also has some brushy areas for cover and bedding on its 9+ acres and a stream flows through. The property borders along its back side Bobell State Forest, offering another 2156 acres of prime central New York hunting and wildlife right out your "back door". Bobell State Forest is known for its hunting, hiking, and horseback riding as the most common recreational activities, as well as snowmobiling on miles of trails in the winter. Outstanding water recreation and fishing is available within just 9 miles at the Afton public boat launch onto the North Branch of the Susquehanna River, renowned fishing for smallmouth bass and walleye along with rock bass as well as yellow perch, sunfish, and bullhead, among several other species. Less than a half hour to Dorchester Park on the Whitney Point Reservoir, a 1200 acre lake renowned for walleye, bass and panfish among many other species and offers a public beach and public boat launch. Whitney Point Multiple Use Area is located there as well with an additional 4546 acres of NYS Land to enjoy. Among many seasonal events in the surrounding communities, there are several golf courses for the enthusiast, including Belden Hill Golf Course 8 miles away and Afton Golf Club in 9 miles. The property has power at the road. Tax records indicate a well and septic but the condition is unknown. The very secluded location is still only minutes away from Harpursville for amenities, and 30 minutes to Binghamton for additional shopping, restaurants and entertainment. NYC/George Washington Bridge is just over 3 hours away.
