31 acre Secluded Forest Land for Sale on Osborne Lake, DeKalb, NY! Private Ideal Location for Off-Grid Cabin, Hunting and Fishing! Located in the "Big County" this property has a lot to offer. At the road is the south branch of Beaver Creek and a 1 acre triangle. Hop over the creek and make your way up to where a farm used to sit over a century and a half ago. There is a 40 ft dug well near the house foundation and a fresh water spring that runs down from the hill. From there you ascend nearly 100 ft through the rocky, well established forest, with some massive trees, and little to no undergrowth. As you continue to explore, it slopes slowly downward passing over another 350 yards to the back, cooled shallow valley. Only about 300 more yards to go, through giant boulders and even bigger trees yet. Then that's when you see it, the pictures you've been wanting to see in real life. It boasts one of the top views in all of St Lawrence County sitting 357 feet above Osborne Lake. Normally that would be a problem but Mother Nature made a nice approach in the form of a rock shelf switchback that takes you down to the water's edge. You will be one of the only four owners with access to the lake for your enjoyment. Tremendous hardwood canopy and low undergrowth loaded with sugar Maple, all on the right slopes. There are plenty of large rocky outcroppings and soil/moss-covered areas. This has formed a perfect habitat for all the animals NYS has to offer for small and big game. Choose from several camping sites or if you really want to be tucked away back at the lake you could go down one rock shelf on the lakeside for ultimate seclusion. 8 miles to Hickory Lake. 15 miles to Black Lake. 30 minutes to Ogdensburg and the Prescott Bridge. 51 minutes to Watertown and Fort Drum. 1 hour to Alexandria Bay and the Wellesley Island Bridge. 2 hours to Syracuse.
