Tucked away beneath a canopy of towering oaks, this woodland retreat feels like the beginning of a story that's simply waiting to be finished. Much of the groundwork for a private 3.16 acre homestead is already in place, offering a rare oportunity to pick up where the vision left off and make it entirely your own. Set along a year-round maintained town road, two wood cabins, measuring 6' x 12' and 12' x 16', add rustic charm, while a propane refrigerator, stove and covered porch area contribute to the off-grid appeal. The property also features an approved, never-used septic system, a 97-foot drilled well with a working hand pump, and the beginnings of a concrete pier foundation intended for a larger cabin. Electric service is available at the road, providing options for future development. Perennial plantings, native ferns,
winding pathways, and fences handcrafted from the property's own trees are woven throughout the landscape, reflecting years of connection to the land. The location strikes a wonderful balance between seclusion and convenience, just 1O minutes from the small town of Newfield and 15 minutes from Ithaca, putting restaurants, shopping, recreation, and the energy of a vibrant college town within easy reach. Bring your plans, your boots, and your imagination! The rest of the story is yours to write.
