34.8 Acres in Mcdonough, NY - $84,900

Located in an area of NYS dedicated for decades to wildlife conservation and management, this affordable wooded property is the ultimate secluded hunting parcel. It borders another 4169 acres of the Pharsalia Woods State Forest. The property is a mix of hemlock, beech, maple, and cherry, with a few open areas that could be made into a campsite or additional food plot. The land has some areas of wetland that create a natural buffer for wildlife and whitetail with better bedding coverage and forbs. The adjoining farmland provides an attractive food source for whitetail, turkey, and other small game. While this property adjoins Pharsalia Woods State Forest, just 4 miles across the road is McDonough State Forest, which features a trail system, hiking, hunting, fishing on Balsam Pond, camping, horseback riding, and snowmobile trails. Balsam Pond is located within the State Forest, a 153-acre lake with a boat launch that offers fishing for a mix of largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, brown bullhead, and sunfish. Additional fishing is available on the nearby renowned Otselic River, allowing anglers to catch brown & brook trout, walleye, and smallmouth bass.
