Cat Hollow Road Colchester, Ny 13755, Downsville, NY 13755 listing details

After being owned by the same family for about 70 years, this 50+/- acre parcel of land with much to offer is now available! First off, the location is fabulous, adjoining state land within the Catskill Park and just a minute down the road from the Pepacton Reservoir. There are also snowmobile trails close by and the land is only 2 hours from the GWB. “Trout Town USA” (Roscoe) on the Delaware River is only about 10 minutes away and Downsville lies within about 5 minutes from the property.Approximately 6 acres of the property consists of an open meadow featuring a certified Christmas tree farm, which currently produces about $3,000 per year from a regular customer. There are nice views from this front area of the land and it would make a great potential building spot as it is mostly level with good southern exposure to the sun and there is electric close by on the property. An older camper is being included so you will have a place of shelter while staying at the property or until you build.The remaining 44 acres consist of woods including lots of Hemlock, Maple, Oak, and giant White Pine trees. There are also some Aspen, Beech, and Black Birch trees. The current owner began establishing a birch syrup production operation with an evaporator (which is also included with the sale) to create some of this high quality gourmet treat. The property is surveyed and has had a forest management study completed. It has not been logged since about 1985, so there is marketable timber currently available (it was scheduled to be harvested in 2011, but was never done). A seasonal spring can be found in the woods and a quad/hiking trail can be taken all the way to the top of the property.Come and enjoy hunting, hiking, quad riding, fishing, boating, sap production, Christmas tree farming, timber production and anything else your heart desires here in the Catskill Mountains!
