If you've been dreaming of land, real land, with rolling hills, wooded trails, open pastures, and the kind of seclusion that only the countryside can offer, this is your chance. Welcome to your forever escape: a sprawling 483-acre property nestled in the hills of Swain, NY, right up against the Swain Ski Resort and crossed by the peaceful Canaseraga Creek. At the heart of the property sits a custom-built cedar chalet, offering 1,900 square feet of rustic comfort. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this home was thoughtfully designed with nature in mind. Step into a spacious living room with oversized picture windows that flood the space with natural light and frame sweeping views of the valley below. A huge walk-out basement offers bonus space to spread out or entertain, while the wraparound deck invites you to take in the sunrise with your morning coffee or unwind at sunset after a long day in the woods. The home's mechanical systems are solid and functional, with heating powered by both propane and electric sources. It's a blank slate for someone ready to put their own touch on it without worrying about the bones underneath. A towering oak tree stands proudly next to the house, and just downhill from it, a serene pond adds charm and quiet to your backyard view. A four-car garage with a spacious loft above offers plenty of storage for vehicles. Down the hill, a sturdy barn with a stone and concrete foundation stands strong. An almost 2000-foot driveway provides both exceptional privacy and a sense of arrival. And if that's not enough, tucked higher on the hillside is a rustic cabin- once the heart of family gatherings, now waiting to be revived into something special again. But what truly sets this property apart is the land.
