Description

Tucked away in the quiet countryside of Richburg NY, this 11.8 acre wooded property offers the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and off-grid living. The land has been in the same family for nearly 60 years and is rich with mature hardwoods, including maple trees ideal for producing your own maple syrup, as well as mature cherry and other valuable species. Having never been logged, the forest remains pristine and full of character making it a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. At the heart of the property sits a thoughtfully crafted off-grid cabin built entirely by hand by the second generation. The partially finished cabin features a spacious deck overlooking the surrounding woods, a vaulted ceiling, and a loft space. Inside, a wood stove provides warmth, while the structure itself showcases unique craftsmanship including hand-hewn beams salvaged from historic barns and a truly distinctive foundation constructed using a wood stack wall technique which is short logs set like bricks and held together with mortar. The logs were sourced directly from the property. A new metal roof was installed five years ago. The kitchen and bathroom are finished in milled ash wood. The cabin is wired for electricity and can have a generator connected offering flexibility for modern conveniences while maintaining an off-grid lifestyle. Water can be obtained from a natural spring and transferred to a reservoir located in the lower level where a camper-style pump delivers it to the living space. Electric, water and internet are available at the road. An existing survey is available, and surface rights convey. The property is being sold as-is, with furnishings conveying. Located about 20 minutes from Olean and Wellsville, and approximately 1 hour 40 minutes from Buffalo. Whether you're seeking a private weekend getaway, or a self-sufficient homestead, this property delivers a rare opportunity to own a piece of untouched woodland with a one-of-a-kind, family-built cabin already in place.
