Gifford Rd Lot 3, Hannibal, NY 13074

Few properties offer such a balanced blend of productive ground, established wildlife habitat, and long-term recreational appeal. Spanning 47.73± acres, this diverse tract combines leased tillable acreage, early successional cover, mature hardwoods, and scattered conifers to create a landscape that has earned a reputation for quality deer hunting in an area well known for producing mature whitetails. The front fields are currently leased to a neighboring farmer, providing agricultural attraction (generally corn and beans)while keeping the ground actively maintained. Beyond the fields, brushy transition areas lead into timber consisting primarily of maple, cherry, oak, sycamore, aspen, and pockets of hemlock that add valuable thermal cover. Several producing apple trees and a handful of chestnut trees offer additional natural food sources throughout the seasons. A small pond, approximately five feet deep, creates another focal point for wildlife, while the property's level topography and open interior make travel easy whether scouting, hunting, hiking, or simply enjoying the land. Logging completed in 2011 has encouraged healthy regeneration across portions of the property, creating excellent bedding cover and wildlife habitat without sacrificing accessibility. One of the property's most distinctive features is the network of historic stone walls, including a substantial wall that follows much of the property's perimeter. These timeless reminders of the area's agricultural heritage add character while naturally defining portions of the landscape. Power is available at the road, providing flexibility for future plans, whether envisioning a cabin, seasonal retreat, or country home (subject to local approvals). The neighboring landowner also maintains open ground adjacent to the fields, helping preserve the attractive setting surrounding the property. Properties in this part of the region are sought after for their combination of proven hunting, diverse habitat, usable terrain, and investment potential.
