Property Description
Hidden in the wooded hills above the Honeoye Valley in Ontario County, this extraordinary ±600-acre property near Naples, NY, offers a rare chance to own one of the Finger Lakes region’s most scenic and storied landscapes. Once the Davis Mountain campus of Roberts Wesleyan University, the land served as a place for students to “Touch the Earth” and “Rough It.” That same spirit remains, with 10+ miles of interior trails, varied topography, and over a dozen spring-fed ponds—including a stunning 3-acre lake stocked with bass, perch, and pike.
The property lies in a four-season recreation corridor just across the valley from Hunt Hollow Ski Club and only five miles from Honeoye Lake. Bristol Mountain, Harriett Hollister Spencer State Recreation Area, and other outdoor destinations are also nearby. Rochester is under an hour north.
This natural playground supports hunting for deer, turkey, ducks, and even the occasional bear. Rolling elevation and wooded ridges offer prime terrain for cross-country skiing, horseback riding, hiking, ATVing, or mountain biking.
Three architecturally distinct lodges reflect Adirondack and western mountain design. Each features cozy bedrooms, spacious gathering areas, and hand-built hearths and mantles. The main lodge includes a covered porch and deck with sweeping southern views. All three are equipped with power, septic, and running water—tucked away in tranquil seclusion.
Timber stands are rich in oak, hickory, and maple. The land is enrolled in NY’s 480a Forest Tax Law Program, reducing taxes and enhancing wildlife habitat.
A legacy property of unmatched scale, history, and potential, this is a blank canvas awaiting your vision—be it private retreat, hunting preserve, equestrian estate, or conservation project.
