This exceptional 117-acre property is a hunter’s dream, offering a diverse combination of acreage, secluded openings, a pond, and a spectacular easterly view. With two separate access points from the highway, allows you to approach the land differently from day to day. Access throughout the property is excellent by ATV, UTV, truck, or on foot. The property is predominantly wooded, with the exception of two former gas well areas where the wells have been removed and plugged. Located along the ridge top of this gently sloping property, these open areas are surrounded by forest and offer fantastic, secluded locations for creating food plots for deer and turkey. Additional field openings surrounded on three sides by forest provide even more opportunities for food plots, wildlife observation, and hunting. The forest features a variety of hardwoods and softwoods, including hard maple, hemlock, soft maple, beech, hickory, and oak. A harvest of some of the merchantable timber was completed in 2021, while the remaining forest continues to provide an abundance of mast-producing trees that help attract and hold deer and turkey throughout the property. A small pond provides an additional water source for wildlife, with the potential to expand it or create one or more additional ponds in this area, subject to applicable approvals. The combination of food, water, cover, and varied terrain creates an excellent habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Timber rights will transfer with the property. Oil and gas rights, however, were previously reserved and remain owned by Seneca Resources, the former owner of the tract. Two existing gas pipelines cross the property, with gas arches located at each end of the parcel. As part of the purchase, the buyer will execute a Surface Use Agreement providing the property owner with rights to seek compensation for damages to the land, timber, and other property interests should additional oil or gas development occur in the future. Ideally situated for both recreation and convenience with a short drive to Lake Erie, Ellicottville, Holiday Valley Resort, I86, I90 and Rte 219.
