201± Acre Piece of Serenity in McDonaugh, Chenango County, NY

Highlights:

- Private 201± acre destination surrounded by thousands of acres

- 201± acres that live like 3,000+

- Stone walls, stream, state forest, and total seclusion

- A Chenango County legacy tract in a class of its own

- Strong subheadline options

- Bordered by Ludlow Creek State Forest on three sides with direct access to a setting few buyers will ever find again

- A rare combination of privacy, scale, road frontage, natural beauty, and surrounding protected ground

- For the buyer who wants a property that feels bigger, quieter, and more special than the map alone can show

The land itself carries tremendous charm and recreational appeal. A stream runs through the property, there are miles of original stone walls throughout, and the tract is defined by the kind of old-world character and natural beauty that buyers remember the second they step onto it. The property also offers approximately 2,400 feet of road frontage, which adds access, visibility, and long-term flexibility.

For the recreational buyer, this is a serious setup. You have a large private holding, direct adjacency to expansive state land, and a snowmobile trail just a couple of minutes away. That combination makes this an exceptional candidate for a hunting retreat, four-season recreation property, family camp compound, or long-term legacy tract.

From a land-quality standpoint, the numbers back up the visual appeal. There is substantial acreage with manageable terrain, including approximately 128 acres within 5% topography and 60 acres within 8% topography, along with an average slope of about 4 degrees. The soils also include a large amount categorized as Farmland of Statewide Importance, with some Prime Farmland present.

This is the type of property that checks boxes very few tracts can check at the same time:

- 201± deeded acres

- Surrounded by over 3,000 acres of state forest

- Adjacent to a 742-acre private club

- Stream through the property

- Miles of original stone walls

- 2,400' of road frontage

- Snowmobile access nearby

- Woodland, pasture, privacy, and scale

Bottom line: this is not just land you buy. This is land you disappear to. Land you hold. Land you build memories on. Land that feels bigger than the deed because of everything around it.

If someone is looking for a private Upstate New York destination property with beauty, character, usable acreage, contiguous surrounding land, and true legacy appeal, this one is in a different class.
