828 State Route 79

Escape to your own private hilltop retreat. Perched high above it all, this extraordinary 215+ acre property spanning 3 parcels offers unmatched peace, privacy, and breathtaking panoramic views. Bordering Andersen Hill State Forest with access to over 500 additional acres, plus neighboring protected land owned by the Finger Lakes Land Trust, this is a rare opportunity for hunting, recreation, a year-round getaway, or a secluded homestead. Midway up the mountain sits a fully furnished 2023 manufactured home featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and upgraded finishes throughout. Inside, you’ll find granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a custom entertainment wall with decorative fireplace. Front and back composite decks provide the perfect place to rela x and take in the mountain and pond views. A long, newly paved private driveway winds through the gated entrance, offering both convenience and seclusion. The property also includes a 2023-built 2,760 sq ft pole barn with concrete floors, electric, two oversized bay doors, a second well, and ample space for equipment, storage, or workshop use, plus an additional barn-style shed near the home. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the mix of mature woods, pine stands, and young growth that create exceptional wildlife habitat. Established game trails, food plots, and hunting blinds make this a truly turnkey hunting destination with abundant deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Conveniently located within reach of Ithaca, Cortland, and Binghamton, the property also offers over 1,800 feet of road frontage with potential for additional development at 884 Route 79, where electric is already installed. A rare blend of privacy, recreation, and natural beauty. Showings by appointment only. Active video surveillance on site.
