Property Description

High along Combs Hill, 53.51+ acres sweep across a wooded shoulder overlooking the valley below-a substantial piece of ground where elevation, diverse timber and a remarkably convenient location come together. The land begins easily along the road, where a broad, relatively level plateau disappears beneath a patchwork canopy of hardwoods and conifers. Here, the terrain feels spacious and usable, offering potential for a future homesite among the trees. Beyond it, the woods deepen and change. Tall hardwood crowns mingle with shadowy stands of evergreens, dappling the forest floor with shifting light while creating a landscape rich with texture, cover and seasonal color. Then the ground begins to fall. Along the break, the hillside pitches toward the valley and the true promise of the elevation comes into focus. Strategic clearing and thoughtful site work could pull back the wooded curtain to uncover a spectacular panorama-rolling Southern Tier hills layered against the horizon, the valley stretching below and broad western skies capable of catching the final amber light of the day. It is easy to envision architecture here that works with the hillside, using the elevation and surrounding timber to frame the view rather than compete with it. Across the balance of the acreage, changing timber and rolling contours create both beauty and function. Natural folds in the terrain funnel wildlife through the woods, heavier pockets of cover provide security, and mast-producing hardwoods complement an area already known for quality deer and turkey hunting. More than 53 acres leaves room for winding trails, habitat improvements, hunting setups and long walks beneath the canopy. Remarkably, this wooded hillside remains close to the pulse of the Southern Tier. Pine City lies below, with Elmira, Horseheads and I-86 readily accessible. A cell tower easement runs with the land; no tower income conveys. Potential building is subject to approvals, site evaluation and buyer due diligence.
