There are five fields all proximate to the central road, and can be replanted if agriculture is in your plans, or can be left to enjoy the fallow grasses and wildflowers that grow here. There are views from the south pasture that cast for miles, while deer and meadow birds play below. Approximately 52 acres of mixed hardwoods and hemlock grace the creek bottom and are a haven for all creatures great and small. There are some RARE FORMS OF PLANTS in the woods as reported by a field biologist - such as the white form of the pink lady slipper, the pink form of the white baneberry, three types of trillium, Indian pipe and others. There are many interesting animals like salamanders, frogs and crayfish in the two creeks, which note clean water. Both creeks flow to the Genesee River. Besides the extensive wildlife there are many WILD, EDIBLE FOODS here. Raspberries, field strawberries, ramps (wild garlic or leeks), blackberries, apples, gooseberries, may apples, mushrooms, fiddlehead ferns, Jerusalem artichokes and more are all here for the gathering. For several years of this beautiful property the owners maintained a small farm with sheep, goats, chickens and a donkey, and lived the farm life. There is an insulated chicken coupe, a pond, a woodshed, a second shed, and viable fencing remaining in the north east pastures for grazing. Several fields are state certified Organic. There are no gas wells on the property, no windmills or any other easements, you have pristine land and an environment of peace quiet and opportunity to be your best organic steward. This could be a great place to have a business to teach organics, off grid living, or to run as an off grid Air BnB.Check this one out, there only a few like it, and priced well to sell.
