About 791 County Road 19

Enjoy this 78-acre recreational retreat located in Whitesville NY in the southeast corner of Allegany County along the Steuben County line and just two miles north of the Pennsylvania border. This old farmstead has been enjoyed as a family hunting retreat for more than 20 years and includes a partially remodeled farmhouse and a large post-and-beam barn offering plenty of room for equipment and storage. Just behind the buildings, a year-round stream meanders through the valley and runs the length of the property. This is an impressive recreational and hunting property offering a diverse mix of habitat that must be seen to be appreciated. The land includes several fields of varying sizes and shapes totaling approximately 20 acres. The fields are primarily overgrown but could be reclaimed for agricultural use or strategically mowed and planted to create an excellent network of food plots and wildlife habitat. After crossing the stream, the property climbs quickly toward the upper acreage. Two existing dug roads provide quality access up the hillside and lead to the rear of the property where the terrain transitions to gently sloping fields. The wooded acreage at the top of the property is easily accessible by an existing network of trails and consists of a diverse mix of hardwoods and hemlock. There is a fair amount of marketable timber consisting primarily of maple and cherry, along with scattered hemlock throughout the forest. Dozens of mature apple trees are scattered across the property providing an additional natural food source for wildlife. Several existing tree stands will convey with the property, and several farming and food-plotting implements can also be included in the sale. With established access, multiple fields, mature apple trees, timber, water, and a diverse mix of habitat, this property provides an excellent foundation for someone looking to develop and manage their own hunting retreat. The property enjoys a great location along a paved road just outside the small hamlet of Whitesville, and only minutes from the Pennsylvania line in an area known for its abundant whitetail population.
