There are people who don't want to be handed a neighborhood. They want land. Quiet. Room to grow things, raise things, hunt things — and come home to something that actually works. This is that place. Tucked into the rolling countryside of Van Etten in Chemung County's northeastern corner, 321 Elston Hill Road sits on 12 well-kept acres that have been genuinely cared for. This isn't a project — it's a launch pad. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath manufactured ranch is clean, maintained, and move-in ready, giving you a solid, functioning home base from day one while the land does what land does: opens up possibilities. The on-site pond pulls double duty — wildlife magnet and a quiet spot to disappear to at the end of the day. Then there's the detached garage — already converted into a heated, wired, plumbed bonus space that works as a hangout, a workshop, an entertainment barn, a bunkhouse for hunting season guests, or whatever your version of "the good life" looks like. And the shed handles the overflow. Twelve acres means options — grow it, hunt it, raise it, or just own it and breathe. Well-maintained. Fully functional. Quietly remarkable.
