About this property

Enjoy a comfortable North Country retreat with this fully finished 16' x 24' camp on 8.46 wooded acres in Florence, New York. Set along a private seasonal gravel road, the property offers outstanding privacy while adjoining Big Brook State Forest and providing direct access to area snowmobile trails. The camp has a main living area with a kitchen and bathroom on the first floor. The second floor features a sleeping loft. Insulated for four seasons of use, the cabin is finished inside with warm knotty pine walls and wood flooring. A propane heater provides heat during the colder months, and a generator is used for power. Unlike many off-grid camps, this property already has a drilled well and septic system in place, making it comfortable for extended stays throughout the year. The exterior features classic board-and-batten siding, and a gravel driveway provides convenient access to the camp. The property also includes a generator shed. The surrounding 16 acres are heavily wooded, creating a private setting for hunting, hiking and enjoying the outdoors. The property adjoins Big Brook State Forest, offering access to 3,879 acres of state land for hunting and recreation. Florence is known for its abundance of public land and excellent Northern Tier deer and turkey hunting, making this an ideal location for sportsmen. In winter, direct access to the area's snowmobile trail system lets you ride right from the property, while nearby trails also provide opportunities for cross-country skiing and other winter recreation. For time on the water, Johnny Smith Pond is close by for kayaking, canoeing and trout fishing. The Salmon River is within a half-hour's drive, putting some of central New York's best-known fishing within easy reach. Whether you're looking for a family retreat, hunting camp or private place in the North Country, this finished property offers an exceptional combination of comfort, seclusion and access to thousands of acres of outdoor recreation.

    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.
