About this land

Build your own off-grid base camp on 5.37 wooded acres in West Turin, NY in an area well known for hunting, snowmobiling and ATV riding. The land features gently rolling northern woodlands with sugar maple, beech, yellow birch and other native tree species. Abundant deer sign makes the property especially appealing as a hunting parcel, while a suitable camp site offers plenty of potential for a simple cabin tucked into the woods. Located on a seasonal road open to snowmobiles and ATVs, this property puts recreational riders close to the extensive Tug Hill trail network. The region's winter snowfall makes West Turin a popular destination for snowmobilers, while designated ATV routes provide additional riding opportunities during the warmer months. Snow Ridge Ski Resort is just 10 minutes away. Highmarket Inn Bar and Restaurant and Whiskey Jack's are approximately two miles from the property and are popular gathering spots for area riders. For outdoor recreation, explore nearby Lesser Wilderness State Forest, including the Carpenter Road Trail System for hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Sand Flats State Forest offers a more primitive backcountry setting for hunting, hiking and exploring. Whetstone Gulf State Park, Agers Falls and Lyons Falls are also within the surrounding region, offering everything from gorge hikes and waterfalls to picnicking and swimming. Whether you envision a hunting camp, snowmobile headquarters or simple off-grid cabin in the woods, this affordable-sized parcel puts you right in the middle of Tug Hill recreation. Financing available.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
