197 acres Farmland, Woodlands and Ponds in the Finger Lakes Region in Interlaken NY 9628 Case Road bordering Finger Lakes National Forest

UNDER CONTRACT

This 197 acre property is a Finger Lakes Gem located in Seneca County bordering the Finger Lakes National Forest.

This property is in a fantastic location and includes farm fields, woods, ponds, a creek, privacy and borders Federal land.  This is an amazing Finger Lakes gem located in Seneca County in the Town of Lodi directly between Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake.  Also, it is located just minutes from the east side of Seneca Lake wine trails offering dozens of wineries, breweries and distilleries.  Did I mention privacy?  Imagine sitting next to your spring-fed pond watching the sunset overlooking your private property far from prying eyes and the noise of the cities.

The land features 3 man-made ponds, 130 tillable acres current seeded in hay, 67 acres of woods and hedgerows, a small creek, an older small barn with existing power and a hand-dug well, and over one mile of road frontage on two town roads.  The property has frontage on Case Road and Townsend Road.  Townsend Road is a seasonal dirt road with very little road traffic, and Case Road is a paved road with power available.  The farm fields have not been sprayed with pesticides or herbicides and there is a potential for organic certification.

The property has a great deal of diversity with gently rolling farm fields, a creek and 3 ponds with some natural areas in the middle of the property.  The majority of the woods are in the back of the property offering some large mature oak and hickory trees.  There is an abundance of wildlife habitat and bedding areas for deer and turkey.  The pond located in the middle of the property offers a serine and tranquil environment.  There is a row of heavy pine trees that run along the east side of the pond offering privacy and shade.  The farms fields have several drainage ditches and are gently sloped to deal with surface water.  The property includes some remaining pasture fencing.  There are 2 farm driveways.  The driveway on Case Road goes directly through the middle of the property and is gated.

This property has been in the same family for over 40 years and was used for cattle grazing, and most recently for hay production.  The property adjoins one of the many fields associated with Hector Grazing Association.  The Hector Grazing Association includes approximately 4,500 acres of Federal land that is leased to the association.  There are approximately 35 pastures and 80 miles of fencing.  This would offer a future potential landowner to have close access to the additional grazing land.  There are stipulations with membership and a possible waiting list, but the potential exists for the availability to utilize the Federal land.  The Finger Lakes National Forest borders the property on 3 sides offering access to part of 16,000 acres of public land to explore, hike, bike, camp, hunt, and horseback riding.  This is great protection from any neighbors building around your property.

Other possible uses for this property could be a cattle grazing operation, private campground, Airbnb, an outdoor music venue, harvest hosts, or a unique horse boarding, camping, and trail riding experience utilizing the Finger Lakes National Forest Trails.  Also, you could make this your private sanctuary and enjoy the beauty and uniqueness this property has to offer.
