0WP Texas Rd Welcome, NY 13810

This 81.79-acre wooded parcel features plentiful whitetail deer sign, heavily pounded tracks, and old rubs, highlighted by recent logging activity and two large beaver ponds. A small stream exits the pond and cuts a small ravine, enhancing the diverse property. The woods, wetlands, open areas, and brushy undergrowth create an optimal setting to attract deer and other wildlife. Several logging roads flow throughout the property, providing easy access for hiking, biking, or ATV riding. An electric service line runs along the bottom portion of the property, providing an opportunity to build a home or cabin. Located on a maintained road with few homes, the property is in the heart of the Leatherstocking Region, known for its robust whitetail deer population, wild turkey, grouse, and overall thriving wildlife population. It borders the 1,245-acre Texas School House State Forest, which features a 1.6-mile loop trail for hiking, 1.8 miles of motorized access by permit trails, and a 1.2-mile Public Forest Access Road. The property provides large undeveloped areas well suited for hiking, hunting, and nature viewing.
