Queechy Lake is nearby. This lake is well know for excellent trout fishing. We also have numerous trout streams such as Kinderhook Creek which are stocked annually by New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation.

The land/acreage is pristine, beautiful, unspoiled, very private and proudly presents a 200' seasonal waterfall known as Butternut Falls. There are several miles of age old moss covered stone walls, many overgrown meadows that are home to wonderful black raspberry and blackberry plants which are perfect for making home made jams, jellies and wines.
Beautiful hardwood trees such as red oak, white oak, hickory and cherry and softwoods such as tamarack and pines are abundant on the acreage. There is enough timber and native stone on this property to build your dream home.
There are many walking/riding trails which would be perfect for a potential horse/llama farm.
There is abundant wildlife present, deer, turkeys, quail, phesant, fox, raccoons, coyote and an occasional bear and moose. Great opportunities for hunting, photography, wildlife observation.
