L31 Gulf Hill RoadEast Berne, NY 12059Price: $295,000

111.3 acres of beautiful forest land only 30 minutes from Albany. The property is just down the road from the 447 acre Keleher Preserve with 4 miles of trails and a stunning view off the mountain of the valley, the Albany skyline, and the surrounding hills. 957' of road frontage offers good potential for subdivision with town approval (min 5 acres in Berne RAF zoning). The property is on a quiet, town maintained road (the north end is closed seasonally, but the south end of the road is maintained year round). As you walk the property - a trail near the center of the road frontage starts up a soft slope then merges with a larger trail underneath the local power distribution lines. Follow it to the right along the lines then as it separates from the lines into the mature forest on the left. The trail passes natural forest clearings, old stone walls, stands of oak, maple, shag bark hickory, and white pine. The trail winds up a hill to a level plateau where beautiful meadow grass surrounds old trees with a very open feel. The trail then reaches the back lot line which is guarded by a well preserved old stone wall. The farmers of yesteryear built these stone walls to last.
