Wrape Road , Carthage, NY 22162(Jefferson County)

NYS forested land for sale:  This region of the Black River watershed becomes more wild the further east you travel.   This relatively flat parcel just outside the Village of Carthage was once primarily farm fields and pasture.  The major tree species found in this attractive woodlot are: hemlock, white pine, red & white oak, hard & soft maple, basswood, beech, birch, aspen, cherry, hophornbeam, hawthorns and apple, which attract and nourish a wide range of native species.  A small trout stream and tributary to the Black River cuts across the northwest corner of the parcel.  Neither the stream, nor wetlands on the property are protected. There is a Village of Carthage Water District easement that cuts across the southern portion of the property.  With Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division firmly planted here and only 20 minutes away there is potential for a savvy buyer to develop this land for housing.  According to code, this parcel may be divided into 6 lots with 250' of road frontage each.  So, whether you are looking for an investment opportunity or for a quiet place in the country to build your home, this lot may be just the ticket for you!
