Several nearby landing options for pilots include a gravel airstrip only 0.1± miles from the property line. Thoughtfully developed with deep respect for the natural surroundings, this turnkey homestead features a 2,600± square foot modern main home and three beautifully crafted log cabins, all set up for comfortable, off-grid living. Every essential amenity is covered with a DEC-approved five-bedroom septic system, two producing wells (75-foot residential and 85-foot commercial), and high-capacity generators.
