Tucked at the edge of a large 1,600-acre swathe of public forest preserve, this off-grid Catskills property offers an ideal basecamp for hunters looking to access big public land with minimal hassle. Located within New York’s Wildlife Management Unit 4R and just two miles from downtown Windham, the land is surrounded by healthy populations of deer, turkeys, bear, and small game.&nbsp;
The gently sloping terrain features old stone walls, logging trails, and mountain streams that wind through hardwood stands, perfect for scouting and hunting. When you're not in the woods, take a plunge in the large spring-fed pond, clean up your gear, or sit by the fire to plan the next day’s hunt. The land’s layout and proximity to the preserve make it an efficient staging ground, whether you're heading out at first light or coming back in after dusk.
Three rustic campsites are available, all a short walk (about four minutes) from a shared shed with dry composting toilet and basic gear storage. Tent areas are cleared and flat, with room for two small tents per site. While completely off-grid, the sites are accessible enough for easy in-and-out, yet private enough that you'll feel fully immersed in the woods. There is also a short unpaved two-track, where you can pull smaller camper-vans or cabovers right up to our large pond with great view.
This is a launchpad into the Northern Catskills, offering direct access to miles of trails and thousands of acres of public hunting land.
