True Hunter's Haven in the Catskills, gated seclusion with cabin
Exceptional opportunity to own a true Catskill hunting retreat less than 2.5 hours from NYC. This unique large property is located at the end of Robinson Road. Entering the property though the gated entrance, the road continues past a series of old stone walls, with many wild apple trees along the trail up to the cabin. The road then continues beyond the cabin to the top of the hill and splits off into various directions offering easy accessibility for those driving a 4 wheel drive vehicle, ATV and certainly hiking as its a gentle grade uphill. An electric transmission line cuts across top of the ridge, providing open areas for food plots, adding diversity to the habitat, from grassy clearings, to brushy cover, and the mostly wooded property. These open areas also offer great locations for strategically located shooting lanes, with multiple ladder and tower stands arealy in place and remain with the property, strategically placed around the property along deer and bear travel routes optimzing hunting. Mountain spring fed water sources on the property include a small stream and two ponds at various locations on the property, which attract and retain the area wildlife, most notably black bear, whitetail deer, wild turkey and other small game. Timber was cut a few years ago which opened up and created new ground covering forbs for whitetail, creating improved habitat for deer to feed and bed down. The property also borders NYC Public Lands of the Basin Clove Unit City of New York Watershed property with an additional 213 acres, roughly doubling the size of the new owner's hunting opportunities. Inside the cabin, a huge Vulcan commercial gas range in the kitchen can easily feed a large size group, with a comfortable lviing room and wood stove as well as a nice spacious deck overlooking the pond and hillside, for winding down and relaxing after a day spent outdoors. There is a separate indoor full bathroom and 3 bedrooms that accommodate multiple beds and bunks. The cabin is wired and powered by solar panel, which provides the lights and propane runs the range as well as the water heater for warm showers. Cell service is available and the new owner can stay connected with the solar-powered MoFi High Performance Business Class Rugged Enterprise Extended Range Router and Antenna system, which is capable of running video conference calls. With the size and remoteness of this exclusive Catskills location, this property allows bucks to mature and get big. This is also an area where black bear are prevalent, as evidenced by the listing photos and frequent sightings by the current owner. In addition, for the winter sports enthusiast, the state-maintained S21A and CB2 sections of the NYS Trail System which run for over 45 miles, connecting to other trail sections for longer rides, and it is located less than 5 miles from this property and provides miles of winter riding throughout this region of the Catskills.
