This primitive homestead on 32 acres is located in Harford NY, Cortland County. Hidden back in the woods, this homestead offers a very private setting surrounded by nature, where sunlight filters through the trees and peace is a constant companion. The 1.5-story cottage exudes rustic charm and sits on 32 acres of diverse land perfect for those seeking self-sufficiency, permaculture potential, or simply a quiet retreat from the world. The property includes 10 acres of open fields ready for gardens, pasture, or expansion, and 22 acres of mixed mature hardwoods and softwoods including cherry, beech, and a generous stand of sugar maple. An established orchard with apple and peach trees, along with blueberry bushes, provides seasonal harvests right at your doorstep. This is a place where you can live in harmony with the land. This is a sunny, peaceful haven that feels far from it all, yet is only 30 minutes from Ithaca’s vibrant culture and educational institutions, and just 10 minutes from the conveniences of Dryden. The cottage is very primitive with only electrical power. Water is provided by a rainwater catchment and an outhouse for a bathroom. There are three sheds on the property to store your garden tools and possessions. A few acres around the cottage are fenced in for the orchard. The cottage is in need of repairs and is being sold as-is. There is a small parking area near the road's edge and a short walk through the woods to get to this hidden homestead. This is a rare opportunity to own a private, nature-rich property in the Finger Lakes region at an affordable price.
