Located in the heart of the Finger Lakes region in Newfield NY is this 40 acre property located just a short 12-minute drive to the City of Ithaca.
This property offers an almost 50-50 mix of fields and woods. As you enter the property from Benjamin Hill Road, there is an existing farm drive that winds through an area of about 5 acres that is low density new growth that could be reclaimed for building or agriculture. This property was once part of a thriving productive farm consisting of mostly desirable Silty Loam soils, and Erie and Bath soil types with good drainage. The topography is gently sloping to the northwest with decent sun exposure for a buyer who is interested in solar energy and crop production. There is a small seasonal stream that crosses through the middle of the property offering a location for wildlife to get a drink of water. The front southern field near the entrance offers the best valley views on the property, and there are several desirable building locations for your new home.
The wooded portion of the property is located in the back of the property and is populated with a mix of maple, hickory, ash, and some cherry along with some wild apple trees. When I walked the property, I noticed several highly used wildlife trails around the creek area indicating there is a decent number of deer in the area. This would be an excellent property for a future homesteader, outdoor enthusiast, hunter, investor, or a buyer wanting privacy. Located in 7R WMU.
