Property Description

Your own hunting camp in the hills of southern Allegany County! Located on Paynesville Hill Road in the Town of Independence, this 48-acre property combines a secluded cabin, beautiful hillside views, thick wildlife cover, and frontage along Cryder Creek. A gated driveway off the gravel road leads to the 440-square-foot off-grid dry cabin, tucked into the woods for privacy. Recently updated metal siding and roofing give the exterior a fresh look, while the rustic interior features sleeping accommodations and a woodstove for warming up after a day outdoors. All personal belongings convey, making this a turnkey setup for your next weekend camping or hunting trip. The acreage offers a mix of hardwood forest, evergreens, and goldenrod meadows with potential for food plots. Previous logging activity has encouraged dense regrowth, creating abundant deer bedding cover and thickets. Hunters looking for thick habitat and secluded places to set up will appreciate the property's character. The terrain includes steep hillsides, and portions of the former logging roads are overgrown or obstructed by blowdowns and thorny vegetation. Exploring much of the acreage requires effort, with opportunities for the next owner to reclaim paths and improve access. A secondary driveway leads to a former log landing. Cryder Creek borders the property, adding to its recreational appeal (prolific trout stream). A nice stand of spruce near the creek provides additional cover and potential material for milling or other timber uses. Situated near Whitesville and less than a mile from the Pennsylvania border, this property offers a quiet basecamp for hunting, camping, and enjoying the outdoors. All rights owned by the sellers will convey to the buyer.
