Escape to your own private piece of the Finger Lakes. This exceptional approximately 74-acre property sits next to Danby State Forest, offering an extraordinary blend of open farmland, woods, privacy, and existing infrastructure all just 20 minutes from Ithaca. Whether your vision is a working farm, equestrian property, agricultural operation, private retreat, or spectacular country estate, this property gives you the space and flexibility to make it your own. The land offers a combination of tillable acreage and wooded areas, creating endless possibilities for farming, pasture, recreation, trails, hunting, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of the surrounding landscape. At the heart of the property is a substantial warehouse equipped with radiant-heated floors, 400-amp electrical service, and multiple overhead doors. With its size and infrastructure, the building could accommodate a variety of agricultural, equestrian, storage, workshop, or other permitted uses. The property also has a well already in place. The property was formerly operated as a hemp farm and is represented as being zoned for cannabis cultivation, presenting an interesting opportunity for an agricultural buyer. For the equestrian enthusiast, the acreage and existing structures offer an exciting foundation for creating a private horse property. For the farmer, there is productive open land and substantial infrastructure already in place. For someone dreaming of a secluded country home, there is room to create something truly extraordinary. And for those simply looking to get away from it all, the property's location beside Danby State Forest provides immediate access to thousands of acres of surrounding forest and outdoor recreation. Imagine waking up surrounded by open fields and woods, riding horses across your own property, building your dream home overlooking the land, or creating a farm and retreat that is uniquely yours all while remaining close enough to Ithaca for everyday conveniences.
