Ducks and Bucks Parcel Bordering State Lands

Seclusion and space can be found on this wooded tract centered between Rochester and Syracuse, bordering the Galen Wildlife Management Area. With a modest price per acre, this expansive parcel combines woods and wetlands to deliver a hunting experience that's tailor-made for waterfowl and whitetail hunters alike. Located off a seasonal dirt road the remote nature lends itself to a secluded hunting spot that's uniquely bordered by agricultural fields to the east and west and public lands to the north. A rare opportunity in a highly desirable mixed-use location with a number of sought-after attributes, this Finger Lakes parcel screams huntability! Water of varying depths regularly covers portions of the property, while flanked by wooded stands and intermixed cattail glades that provide excellent habitat for waterfowl in transition to areas occupied by deer. A patchwork of micro habitats lets up clues to wildlife usage and travel patterns that take advantage of slight rises in topography and various edges inside the greater environment. Situated near one of the east coast's most famed-flyways, waterfowl is known for its abundance in the area - with each visit to this site having given up numerous sightings of various types of ducks and the occasional goose. A core of wetland occupying the property's center is the lifeblood for feathered fare, while the edges detail better opportunities for four-legged creatures cloaked in fur. Mostly flat, the property is relatively easy to navigate with a small ATV trail that gives additional access from the west, running along the southern border and then north about 2/3 of the property's total length. To the north the 712+/- acre Galen Wildlife Management Area and Marengo Marsh provides additional access to extensive hunting and fishing with a diverse mix of habitat, including several agricultural fields. A small hay field on the parcel's north east aspect could serve as a large food plot or field for potential cash rent. The property is involved in a conversation easement that restricts timber harvest and other "extractive" measures through 2051.
