Rare Offering Finger Lakes Flyway Land Near Montenzuma NWR
Set in the heart of the Finger Lakes flyway, this 85.97+/- acre property in Savannah, NY offers a rare opportunity to own land influenced by the nearby Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge—one of the most vital migratory bird habitats in the Northeast. While not directly bordering the refuge, this property sits within the same ecological corridor, benefiting from the region’s exceptional waterfowl traffic, habitat diversity, and conservation legacy.
The land features approximately 8+/- acres of productive tillable ground, with the balance comprised of wooded wetlands fit for wildlife. These diverse habitats provide unique opportunities for both deer and waterfowl hunters, and the mix of native maple and planted pine offers cover and character throughout the landscape, with cattails along the western expanse.
Black Creek forms the winding western boundary, a known fishing destination and quiet natural buffer. Over 2,300 feet of road frontage across two sides grants access to public water and electric along Hogback Road, making entry and potential development straightforward. While the land holds promise for a rural build site surrounded by countryside, buyers should confirm buildability, setbacks, and wetland buffer requirements with the appropriate authorities.
Whether you’re a hunter, naturalist, land steward or farmer, this property places you squarely within one of New York’s most recognized wildlife corridors. From cropland to creek, this is a place where conservation, recreation, and quiet natural beauty converge.
To schedule a time to come walk the field edges, listen to the calls of migrating geese, and see what the land tells you reach out today so we can plan a private tour.
