49 acres of Finger Lakes farmland in the Town of Ovid, offering a beautiful combination of productive agricultural land, wooded hedgerows, mature trees & a natural ravine. The majority of the acreage is currently planted in corn & the property is subject to an agricultural lease with a local farm. With approximately 640' of frontage on NYS Route 89 & an existing farm road entrance, the property offers excellent access while opening up into a surprisingly private, pastoral landscape. Broad open fields are complemented by smaller fields tucked among mature hedgerows. These divisions reflect the property's agricultural history, when fields were cleared individually more than two centuries ago, leaving tree lines between them. Today those hedgerows give the land an uncommon sense of scale & character, creating distinct fields, sheltered edges & beautiful transitions between open farmland & woods. Walk the property & its appeal becomes even more apparent. A wooded ravine winds along a portion of the acreage, with mature trees, standing deadwood for seasoned firewood & excellent habitat for whitetail deer. The combination of woods, hedgerows, ravine & adjoining farm fields also makes this a good area for deer hunting. The mix of open ground & woods creates a setting that feels bucolic, peaceful & remarkably private despite the convenient Route 89 frontage. Located in the heart of Seneca County's agricultural landscape, this is land that has been farmed for generations & remains well suited to continued agricultural use. The existing farm lease provides continuity of agricultural use & may offer an owner the opportunity to qualify for an agricultural assessment, reducing the property's taxable value if applicable requirements are met. The Town of Ovid currently has no zoning ordinance, offering additional flexibility for uses permitted under applicable state, county & other regulations. Whether added to an existing farming operation, held as an agricultural investment or considered for another permitted use, the property's gentle slope & natural air drainage also offer characteristics well suited to vineyard use in this established Finger Lakes wine region.
