Longacres Land Purchase Opportunities
The Longacres Equestrian Camp was established in 1939. 2015
marked the final year of operation. It was owned and directed by
the same family for the entire 77 years of existence beginning with
Grandmother Jacqueline Kranz & Great Aunt “Shortie” to the present day
Mr. & Mrs. Tom Kranz. The camp was named after Great
Grandfather George Longaker. Throughout its history, Longacres taught the English hunter/jumper discipline to students, which included some 2nd and 3rd
generations. The residential show training
program brought students from around the country and some
international. As of 2016, portions of the former campgrounds will
be offered for sale. (If interested, click here to look at the
old camp’s website.)
The Longacres land now consists of approximately 95 acres. The
Kranz family plans to sell about 65 acres. The 30 acres retained
by the Kranz family is in the center with an old growth forest,
extensive trail system, streams, and Cazenovia Creek frontage including
a canyon ridge view and waterfalls. The other parcels (for sale) surround this
core
system and also offer trails, rolling hills,
fields, ravines, streams, a fishing pond and Cazenovia Creek frontage. It is a rare piece of property carefully
developed over 77 years to capitalize on the incredible terrain.
The land is on a scenic byway, just around the corner from the Mill Rd.
Overlook (60 acres of protected land), 5 minutes from the village of
East Aurora and it's coveted school system, and minutes away from
multiple expressways leading you within a half hour to bigger shopping
areas and about a 2 hour drive to Toronto. The land is a real
hidden gem in the WNY area. Private and beautiful, but close to
amenities.
