468 Bly Hollow Road , Petersburgh, NY 12138(Rensselaer County)

The ultimate hunting and outdoor recreation property with a large house, 3 car garage, trail network, food plots, views, streams, and timber. Stretching across the mountain from one side to the other sits this incredibly unique hunting property with access from 2 different roads. The 3-bedroom house is the centerpiece of the property and serves as the hunting lodge. The large eat in kitchen has plenty of space and also includes a washer and dryer. Down the hallway, double doors open up to the expansive family room where you can unwind, read a book or watch a movie and get warm in-front of the fireplace which features a woodstove insert. Just off the family room is a 3 season Adirondack room that overlooks the deck in the back of the house. The house also includes a one room guest quarters/in-law apartment complete with kitchen and bath. This can be rented out or used as extra space for guests. The layout of the house sets up perfectly for hosting groups large and small with plenty of space to spread out or come together to enjoy the camaraderie, meals and fellowship that make the memories of hunting camp that last a lifetime. The 3-car garage on the lower level has plenty of space for equipment storage and parking. There is a nice lawn with multiple flower beds as well as several apple trees. Trails make their way uphill from the house and extend throughout the property. The trails are in good condition and wide enough to accommodate a side by side. Great for accessing all of the hunting locations they can also be used for hiking, snowshoeing, ATV’s and horses. There are spectacular views from multiple locations with opportunities to open up other vantage points. Multiple food plots in various locations around the property are strategically located to take advantage of the natural terrain features which create funnels and consistent movement. The first food plot faces east and has easy access from the lodge. The irregular T shaped plot is hunted from a stand on the uphill side with beautiful mountain views to the east. It’s hard not to enjoy a sit in this stand with views like this. There are several other small plots carved out of the timber in various locations around the top of the mountain. These plots provide a level of attraction that encourages consistent movement and wildlife activity. All of the plots on the property were recently planted to clover that has come in thick with almost no weeds or grasses. Clover plots provide a high level of quality protein and can be maintained for 5-6 years if managed properly. The timber on the property has been carefully managed under the NYS 480a Forestry Program which helps foster sustainable forestry practices while providing a significant tax break. There is still a significant amount of quality timber including Red Oak, Maple, Cherry, Beach, White and Hemlock. The property can also be accessed from Route 22 on the east side of the property on the other side of the mountain. Hidden from the main road behind several large hedgerows is a 7-acre tillable field currently in clover and chicory. There are several locations with easy access and road frontage that are excellent building locations if you ever wanted to build a new house on this side of the property. There is a year-round stream that cuts across the front of the property inside the hedgerow. There are beautiful views from every part of the field of the surrounding mountains. Just off the edge of the field is a stand location where several trails intersect which sees a heavy amount of activity from turkey and deer to bear. The property has a history of producing quality deer and turkey and the seller has consistently harvested mature bucks every year*. From thick stands of early successional growth that have emerged from previous timber harvests to the various food plots and streams, there is high-quality habitat throughout the property providing food, cover and security. Three separate parcels make up the property with the house on its own 10 acres along and with multiple points of road frontage there is an opportunity to subdivide the property very easily in the future. Whether you want to chase the gobblers in the spring or the buck of a lifetime this property provides a rare chance to own a large acreage private hunting property that most hunters would dream of.
