In the recent past, this property was used as a sheep farming operation that was a successful venture. Currently, the 85 acres of farm fields are used for producing hay with a good portion of the fields fenced with high tensile fencing. When the fields where in production, there was a nutrient management plan in place along with the application of lime to increase the productivity of the soils. The majority of the soils are desirable well-drained silty loam type Langford, Erie and Bath soils. Farm fields on the north side of the road are almost level with a south facing gentle slope. Fields on the south side offer a gentle slope towards the woods facing south for an excellent solar exposure. No pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers applied for over a decade offering potential for organic certification. Elevation of the property peaks at the road and gently slopes down the hill towards a wooded area where there are tall majestic oaks, maples and large white pines. Among the trees are two older log cabins in a state of disrepair. The property descends to a gorge with a stream that meanders along the southern border. 15 minutes to Ithaca and Cornell University.
