SOLD
This 16 acres is an excellent hunting and recreational property located near a State Forest in Caroline NY, Tompkins County.
Looking for a retreat to get away from all the noise and everyday distractions? Take a look at this property! Tucked back in the woods sits this one room, 624 square foot cabin with a finished loft. Located on Downey Road in the Town of Caroline offering plenty of privacy and only a few hundred feet from Shindagin State Forest for additional hunting, hiking and exploring. As you enter the property from the road, there is a driveway that is gated and winds around through the woods to the hidden cabin and barn. The barn offers a post and beam construction with high ceilings that could be utilized for storage or other possible uses.
The cabin has a spacious loft with a small, covered balcony area overlooking the mature forest that surrounds the property. The interior has knotty pine ceilings and walls giving the cabin a very rustic appeal. There has been some PEX plumbing installed with an on-demand propane hot water heater and a water storage tank in the loft for a gravity system. There is a double-sized kitchen sink and a cast iron tub-shower in the loft area. Currently, there is no drilled well on the property and the owners have hauled in water when needed and there is an outhouse on the property. The topography of the land is gently rolling offering hardwoods and softwoods including maple, oak, ash, and white pine with a good diversity. Cellular phone service seems to be present on the property. Adding a few solar panels or a generator would add some modern comforts to this rustic cabin if a person desired to have these amenities.
This property is located on the seasonal end of Downey Road which is only maintained seasonally and not plowed in the winter. No power is available near the property. This property has so much to offer and is only a quick 25-minute drive to Ithaca and Cayuga Lake. The current owners have done a lot of the hard work on the property and just needs some finishing details. Don’t miss out on this one. Great property for hunters, homesteaders, weekend retreat, or off-grid living. Located in 7R WMU. Boundary lines on the aerial map are approximates.
