Rooted high above Newark Valley, this 232A± acre hilltop haunt blends seclusion, habitat, and hunting potential into a property that feels larger than life. Known for producing trophy-class whitetails, the land tells its story through a mix of timber, fields, and cover that have sheltered healthy populations of deer.A rustic yet capable cabin crowns the highest elevation, with a design that feels more “western mountains†than “upstate New York.†Its open-concept layout offers a large gathering space complete with a wood stove, kitchenette, and sitting area, while a bathroom and upstairs bunkroom add camp-style comfort. Outside, a covered front porch stretches the length of the cabin and delivers a front row seat to grand views of the valley below—the kind of panorama that draws you in with every sunrise and lingers long after sunset. Powered by a generator and supplied by a drilled well, the cabin is as practical as it is inviting.From Dr Knapp Road to its doorstep, a well-established interior road winds up to the property, linking the valley below to the diverse habitat features that create the backbone of this hunting retreat. Retired tree farm rows of spruce provide secure bedding and winter cover, while hardwood ridges of oak, maple, and hemlock add mast production, thermal cover, and timber value. Old fields lined with ragweed, goldenrod, and early successional growth furnish thick browse and edge habitat, while two small ponds serve as natural water sources with additional sites suitable for new ponds or waterholes at large. An expansive destination food plot has been seeded with cereal grains and is already showing strong germination, complemented by several smaller sites that beg for further development. In the past, this same location has been used to produce extreme tonnage from corn, beans, and brassica, all with good growing success. For immediate hunting opportunities, the property is outfitted with three Redneck hard-sided blinds on towers, ready for the next owner to climb in and hunt.This land has produced big-bodied, wide-racked, and tall-tined bucks for the current owner and their guests, and with limited recent pressure, the herd has only had the opportunity to grow. The stage is set for the next steward to build upon its proven potential—whether through habitat projects, herd management, or simply enjoying the bounty of deer, turkey, bear, and other wildlife that call it home.Conveniently located within easy driving distance of Owego and Binghamton, this property places you close to town yet worlds away once the truck is parked and the woods close in.A rare opportunity to make the dream of owning and managing your own hilltop hunting ground, stewarding habitat for deer and wildlife, and creating memories season after season, awaits with your own personal invitation. The groundwork is here—food, cover, water, and infrastructure—waiting for the right hunter to cultivate, enhance, and carry forward a property built for whitetails and the people who pursue them. Seller requires all buyers to be accompanied by a licensed real estate agent by appointment only—proof of funds or proof of pre-qualification required to confirm a showing.
