NYS field and forest land on the Deer River for sale:  Undeniably the best of many worlds could exist on this property!  The property starts at the intersection of Routes 11B and Aikins road where you'll find the remnants of the house and barn.  Open, to semi-open fields, adjacent to the old homestead, occupy about 25 acres in this region, a great spot for a house for those that like open space, or wish to pasture horses or livestock.  The southern end of those fields are quickly reverting back to forest, including common northern species such as; gray birch, hop hornbeam, elm, and aspen, great habitat for ruffed grouse!  The woods road starts on Aikins Road at the transmission line right-of-way, and continues south through wet woods full of sapling and pole size white cedar, aspen, soft maple, elm, black & white ash and hemlock, to a beaver dammed brook, a tributary to the Deer River.  Beaver meadows stretch from the eastern boundary to the western one at this point.  The pond side hemlock grove would be a great setting for a camp or cabin.  Traveling south of this flow one finds a mix of hardwoods more desirable for growing lumber grade trees, including sapling to large sawtimber hard maple, yellow birch, black cherry, soft maple and white ash.  Two separate cedar thickets found in this region are sure to provide a source of food and cover to deer in this region.  Much of this area was harvested about 30 years.  Once an active sugar bush, many of the old sugar maple trees still encircle the shanty that is still partially standing, half protecting the rusted out pan and arch inside.  As you near the river and the forest type changes to red spruce, balsam fir and eastern hemlock, the sound of flowing water becomes more obvious.  And what a river it is!  The Deer River is one of the top fishing waters in the county for brown trout.  This is obviously the jewel of the property.  An ideal place to sit and fish, or just relax, watch, and listen as nature fills your senses.  Highlands Golf Course is just a few mile east on 11B.  Don't miss this great opportunity for you and your family to own this uniquely diverse property with so much to offer!  Owner financing available to qualified buyer (30% down with balance paid at 6% for up to 7 year term).
