450 Long Rd, East Berne, NY 12059

Located along Long Road in the rural countryside of Albany County near East Berne, this 37.6A± acre recreational tract offers an excellent opportunity for buyers searching for a diverse hunting and recreational property with strong wildlife habitat, established access, and long-term potential. Positioned within an area surrounded by agricultural fields, hay ground, and mixed habitat, the property sits in a natural travel corridor that already supports strong deer and turkey activity. One of the most impressive aspects of this property is the recent logging work that was completed several years ago. Unlike many timber harvests that can leave a property difficult to navigate or visually unappealing, this logging operation was thoughtfully executed and has significantly improved the wildlife habitat throughout the land. Sunlight now reaches the forest floor across much of the property, allowing native grasses, forbs, browse, and young regrowth to flourish. This type of early successional habitat is highly attractive to whitetail deer and other wildlife species and creates excellent bedding and feeding opportunities throughout the property. The property now offers a highly diverse habitat mix consisting of mature hardwoods, softwoods, regenerating browse, scattered openings, and hemlock cover. Mature oak trees provide seasonal acorn production, while thick regenerating sections create both food and cover for wildlife. The combination of habitat diversity, surrounding agriculture, and transitional terrain makes this property particularly appealing for hunting and wildlife management purposes. Logging roads extend throughout much of the acreage and provide excellent internal access across the property. These established trails make navigating the land easy while also creating ideal opportunities for future improvements such as strategically placed food plots, stand locations, or additional habitat enhancements. Several smaller openings throughout the property could easily be converted into wildlife food plots with minimal effort. Wildlife sign was consistently observed throughout the property, including white-tailed deer sign, turkey activity, and even woodcock habitat. The property also contains a small wetland area that provides an additional water source and habitat component for wildlife. With a few thoughtful habitat improvements and continued management, this property has the potential to become an exceptional hunting tract within a highly desirable area. The terrain is gently rolling with a mix of higher and lower ground, creating natural movement corridors and transition zones for wildlife. While the property feels secluded and private, it still offers direct road frontage and convenient access from Long Road. Electric is available at the road, and the property is believed to be buildable pending a successful perc test and local approvals, creating the potential for a future cabin, home, or hunting camp. The location also provides convenient access to nearby towns and recreation throughout Albany and Schoharie Counties. The property is located near East Berne, Tompkins Lake, Westerlo, Altamont, Middleburgh, and Schoharie, while still offering reasonable driving distances to Albany, Hudson, and New York City. The surrounding area is well known for outdoor recreation opportunities, including nearby state lands, hiking, hunting, and rural country living. For buyers looking for a manageable-sized hunting property with existing trail systems, diverse habitat, and strong future wildlife potential, this Albany County tract presents a unique opportunity to own and improve a very solid recreational property in a desirable rural setting.
