Years ago, this Tioga County ridge carried the daily rhythm of a working farm. Today, its 62.3 acres hold the quiet promise of land ready for a fresh purpose. A Morton pole barn with a stone floor stands ready for equipment and weekend projects, while a small pond brings a welcome glimmer of water to the blend of woods and old agricultural ground above Route 38. Nature has spent the intervening years softening field edges and threading new growth through once-tillable acreage. Beneath that brush lies the outline of another season’s work. With thoughtful clearing, portions could return to cultivation, become food plots, or open into broad grassy spaces where the woods frame the day. The pleasure is in shaping the land with intention—choosing what to reclaim, where to plant, and what to leave wild. Recently cleared access begins that process, connecting ambition with ground that can be explored and understood. Additional openings offer places to pause, study the terrain, and imagine how the acreage might serve a new owner. The ridgeline setting also invites consideration of a future home or camp, subject to site conditions and local approvals. The barn provides a practical anchor as those ideas take form, whether the first project involves a tractor, a trail mower, or a pair of pruning shears. Come autumn, attention turns toward the woodlines. This part of Tioga County has a strong deer-hunting tradition, with local stories of trophy-class bucks traveling its ridges and hollows. The property’s mix of woods and regenerating fields lends itself to habitat-minded ownership, with opportunities to shape openings and cover around a long-term recreational plan. Owego’s conveniences are close at hand, with Ithaca and Binghamton within comfortable driving distance. Spend the morning working an old field, the afternoon wandering the woods, and the last light beside the pond. There is a worthwhile next chapter waiting on this ridge—and plenty of room to write it.
