Overview
This property offers an opportunity to own a piece of American civil war history, bordering Letchworth State Park, also known as the "Grand Canyon of the east". The site was once home to the Cascade hotel and the original east entrance to the Portage bridge. The property served as the landing site for materials used to construct the new bridge and offers views of the bridge and upper waterfalls. Bordering over 70% of Letchworth State Park for a distance of 8/10'ths of a mile, the property is near the War memorial that celebrates the First New York Dragoons, who trained in Portageville. The original foundation stone for the memorial is located on the property. Civil war era artifacts have been found on the land. The parade grounds where the troops trained is 1.2 miles away, and the Portageville Park Entrance is 1 mile from the property. The property is the highest ground on the southeast corner of the park area at 1320 feet. The Finger Lakes trail also wraps the property. Wildlife, including deer, turkey, bear, and bald eagles, are frequently observed. A partially completed 2200 sqft home sits on the bluff edge, which could be finished or converted into a welcome center. The property presents commercial opportunities such as a campground, RV park, housing development, or retirement village. Trails provide access to all areas of the property. The 59.5-acre property also offers opportunities for development at the base of the bluff.
