About this property
This 72.43± acre tract on Podpadic Road in Richmondville offers a strong combination of seclusion, access, and habitat, setting up as a highly functional hunting and recreational property with long-term upside. Located on a quiet, seasonal gravel road, the property features approximately 5,017± feet of road frontage spanning multiple access points, including frontage on Podpadic Road and Harroway Road. An established cut-in leads to an old logging road, providing a solid foundation for expanding internal access and trail systems. The land sits within a leeward-facing drainage, naturally protected from prevailing winds, and is surrounded by a mix of agricultural ground and larger timber tracts. This positioning enhances both wildlife movement and overall huntability. Timber across the property is a diverse mix of hardwoods and softwoods, including white oak, red oak, beech, hemlock, pine, birch, and cherry. The tract is composed of both intermediate successional growth and sections of more mature timber, creating a balanced structure that already supports wildlife while offering opportunity for further improvement. With strategic timber stand improvement (TSI), including selective cutting and potential prescribed burning, the property can be enhanced to promote sunlight to the forest floor-encouraging native forbs and grasses that improve bedding cover and browse. Water is a defining feature throughout. Multiple spring-fed creeks run through the property, feeding into a beaver pond with an established dam and a creek tailing out below. This area adds habitat diversity and presents strong potential for waterfowl use, particularly wood ducks. From a hunting perspective, the property shows immediate promise. Deer sign is evident throughout with well-used trails, tracks, and natural travel corridors. Turkey activity is present, with nesting observed on the property. The surrounding agricultural fields further support consistent wildlife movement, while the layout of the land and road frontage allows for access to multiple stand locations across varying wind directions without compromising the property. There are currently no open fields, but the existing structure and growth stage make it a workable blank slate for creating food plots, bedding areas, or additional access improvements. Positioned within the Richmondville Central School District, the property currently has no confirmed electric at the road and would require well and septic if building is pursued. Nearby homes suggest potential for future development, though buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding buildability. Conveniently located approximately 55 minutes from Albany, 15-20 minutes from Cobleskill, and 25-30 minutes from Middleburgh, the property offers a balance of privacy and accessibility. Whether you're looking for a blank slate hunting property, a recreational retreat, or a long-term land investment with the ability to improve and customize over time, this Schoharie County tract delivers the right combination of access, habitat, and potential.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
