Prime Location in Oswego County’s Wilderness
This 12-acre lot at 491 Bartley Rd in Williamstown, NY 13493 is a great find as it is located on a road that is maintained throughout the year and, therefore, it is easily accessible in any season. What makes it unique is that it is located directly on the very popular C4 snowmobile trail, which is like a paradise for people who love to be out in the snow, and it is also just one mile away from the large O’Hara State Forest. This being the case, you have the opportunity, in fact, to take a step from home straight into several thousand acres of public land full of trails, streams, and animals.
Oswego County is a true outdoor paradise, with the main attractions being undulating terrains covered with thick woods and the Salmon River Reservoir lying just four miles away. And, certainly, that is the best fishing venue in the world where steelhead and salmon runs attract all the fishermen from Northeastern. So, visiting Williamstown would cost you a mere 10 minutes if you want to buy something from local stores or have your meal there; and the same timing of 20 minutes will lead you to Camden, where you can find more facilities; meanwhile, a short drive of 30 minutes can get you to Pulaski, which is known as the “Steelhead Capital of the World.” The mix of country calm and perfect location turn this land and cabin in Williamstown into not just a reprieve, but a solid base for living during the whole year or just the weekends.
Moreover, the land is a combination of the short deciduous trees and long coniferous trees, with plenty of animal tracks—such as deer hooves, turkey finger marks, and fox dens—Mrs. Duffy and Mr. Kilborn’s access rights (ROW) to the nearby property offer the possibility of development or shared entry, making it more valuable for the multi-generational use.
The Perfect Off-Grid Cabin Retreat
Central to this land is a 2021 constructed 16×20 with a sleeping area, covering in total 320 square feet of a small but well-insulated space. This is a perfect off-grid cabin and it has the wiring in place for an electric connection. So, if you have solar panels or a generator, you can still maintain the power without any interruption. Take a rough wooden wall, a sleeping loft to accommodate a guest and a wood stove to keep you warm on cold nights, and you get a pretty perfect little cabin that is built for comfort but still pretty much in a rustic style of way.
Extremely comfortable for just two years old this cabin is very well-maintained and it was arduously built in the woods to provide absolute privacy. No neighbors. You can only hear and see nature. This place will allow you to be 100% off-the-grid but at the same time, it is close enough to the town for running errands. This is the kind of place where you can disconnect and at the same time, you will absolutely recharge. That’s the kind of connection with nature city folk simply cannot live without.
Abundant Hunting and Wildlife Opportunities
This 12-acre hunting land in Williamstown, NY, would be an ideal property to have for a hardcore hunter. The mixed forest is a perfect home for the game animals on this land providing their food and shelter, and therefore the area is full of deer of the white-tailed variety, wild turkey, and small game, such as rabbits and squirrels. Oswego County is well known for the quality of the bucks to be hunted and the closeness to the O’Hara State Forest means that by acquiring this property, your hunting area will consist of more than 5,000 acres of land managed by the state.
The design of the property is very much one of a hunter’s dream: you have the high points of the ridge for looking around, thick growth for hiding and wide open spaces for tracking. The isolation would be appreciated by bowhunters while those with firearms could make use of the adjacent public lands during season. Along with hunting, bird habitats offer a paradise for the birdwatchers and photographers—the bald eagles nesting over the reservoir and the owls calling at dusk. But it’s more than just land, it’s a complete living environment, waiting for you to take care of it.
Endless Outdoor Adventures Await
What is here is not a one-trick land—quite the opposite, it is the very base from which all the adrenaline-fueled feats under the sun (or snow) can be launched. Snowmobilers can be happy about the fact that the C4 trail passes right by here, thus linking to a 1000-mile network all over Central New York. ATVers have the option either of going through the woods on their own tracks or meeting up with the routes that are close to them. Hiking trails go through the hardwoods during the warm season and eventually, you find a stream that is perfect for kayaking or fly-fishing.
Since the Salmon River Reservoir is only four miles away, the residents can enjoy boating, swimming, and ice fishing in winter. The area is also great for foraging. For instance, you can pick wild berries in summer or morels in spring. Families can use it as a base camp for camping, stargazing, or even glamping if they make a few small upgrades. Whatever your passion, this Oswego County cabin property offers endless options of leisure.
A Smart Investment in Nature
Right now, a piece of cheap land with a cabin that you can just move into like this is as good as gold in the market. The price of $83,900 provides great benefits to the buyer—way below what a similar piece of land would cost in the Adirondacks—and it is also a good investment for the future as the demand for living in the countryside will probably increase once the pandemic is over. Moreover, the rental potential is tremendous: you can use Airbnb for listing during the hunting season or VRBO during leaf-peeping weekends thus, creating a source of passive income for yourself.
This kind of property in Williamstown doesn’t hang around for long. So, if you are a smart buyer, you will move swiftly with it to grab your stake here before the deal is done. You can arrange a tour by calling listing agent Kirk Goodrow at 315.854.3144 and thus, ensure your presence at this paradise.
