Discover privacy, acreage, and opportunity at 556 Butternut Ridge Road. Set on 39.1 mostly wooded acres, this three-bedroom, one-bath ranch offers a peaceful rural setting just 15 minutes from both Potsdam and Canton. A brook winds through the property, while abundant wildlife and excellent deer-hunting potential make the land especially appealing to outdoor enthusiasts. The surrounding woods and trails provide plenty of room for hunting, recreation, and exploring your own property.
Inside, the home features a comfortable single-level layout with hardwood flooring and carpeting. While cosmetic updates are needed, the property offers an excellent opportunity for a first-time homebuyer to make the home their own while enjoying an exceptional amount of land, privacy, and recreational value. Heating options include electric baseboards, a new propane monitor, and wood heat. A back porch provides a quiet place to take in the natural surroundings.
The property is served by a private well and septic system and includes an older outbuilding in need of repair. With its convenient location, abundant wildlife, wooded acreage, flowing brook, and hunting potential, this property could serve as a year-round residence, recreational retreat, or North Country getaway. Property is being sold as-is.
