(Some pictures used in these lot descriptions are used multiple times if they share the same boundary line, etc. Example: creek frontage)

Approximate Land Spatial Figures:
(especially difficult to report with irregular land borders of the beautiful Cazenovia Gorge Terrace terrain)

420' Grover Rd. frontage for full 9 acre option
654' Deep at the widest point of the full 9 acre option from road frontage to the Cazenovia Creek frontage
580' Wide at the widest possible point for the full 9 acre option

Situated on the pretty, winding, residential neighborhood of Grover Rd. with a mostly tree lined privacy buffer
Plenty of land and potential to build a beautifully curved driveway back into a homesite
Multiple areas to choose from to build a home: on the level grassy flat upper terrace even with Grover Rd., also level with Grover Rd. but on a corner overlooking the ravine of Cave Creek & looking down into the terrace levels of the old growth forest and views of the Cazenovia Creek, or down on one of the lower level terrraces capitalizing even more on the views of the creeks and forest (roadway does exist, but you would have to be mindful of winter conditions!)
Cazenovia Creek frontage with level access point & lot line boundary
Cave Creek lot line boundary on one side of the entire 9 acre lot
Eastern Hemlock forest & some deciduous trees along with some blossoming trees on upper most level. A lot of Northern Red Oak.
Very special & hard to compare land with its's multiple levels of beauty and built in privacy - bring your imagination with you for how to capitalize on this unusual piece of property
Existing pathways/trails & roads in place
Beautiful stonework throughout lot: exterior stonewall bar-b-que on ridge of the 1st level terrace facing Cazenovia Creek, full stone patio on 2nd terrace also looking toward Cazenovia Creek along with other smaller stone patios to align with garden beds, and a stairwell down to the 3rd terrace level, small stone wall in Cave Creek
4th Terrace level has a grassy level area (right along the Cazenovia) for sports activities, picnics, family reunions, etc.
Large, Rustic Lodge building with screened windows all around for views of the terrain (reroofed recently) that could be converted into a carpenters shop/artists studio/summer family retreat building/dwelling of some kind with modifications (see pictures)
Multiple small rustic summer cabins that could be used for a family compound/retreat. Some used up until recently but would likely need some refurbishing to your liking and others could be torn down. We have the right contacts as we are demolishing some quite old ones up on Grover Rd. during the spring of 2016.)
Two year round small cottages currently inhabited up on Grover Rd. (see pictures below). Use as rentals for income, for your in-laws, or tear down to make more space/open land for your newly custom built home. *Both cottages are quite old, not modernized with amenities, and would need significant work to bring in the higher rent you normally could for the area. At least one of them has had some recent renovations with roofing, decking. They do have charm in their own ways and each have tenants that have lived there for years!

This is one of the views of Cazenovia Creek from the Cazenovia Gorge Terrace lot. The grassy, open level area for sports activities,
picnics, etc. would be to the right of picture and slightly behind camera person.

Park bench is on the grassy, open level area right on the edge of Cazenovia Creek:

A lot of Eastern Hemlocks in the very shady area of the lower 2-3 levels of the Cazenovia Gorge Terraces:

Another view of Cazenovia Creek - real early spring:

Level access point of Cazenovia Creek on the lot side where Cave Creek comes in too. View is looking up toward the Annex
land (primarily undeveloped land for indefinite period of time):

The hill in left of picture is the Twin Ravines lot and the Annex land just immediately beyond that point. Camera person is
standing on the Cazenovia Gorge Terrace lot and you can see the trail/roadway leading immediately down to the Cazenovia.
Cave Creek boundary line on one side of the Cazenovia Gorge Terrace lot:

Another look at Cave Creek as it winds back up toward Grover Rd. The Twin Ravines lot is on the right side of picture.
On left of picture you can just make out the red paint of a cabin (Pixie Oakwood). This is one of the possible rustic summer cabins
available on the lot for weekend getaways, etc.:

Cave Creek up close with small stone wall:

The Large Lodge on the 2nd level of the Terraces: (Roadway visible leads up to Grover Rd. to the right & down to the Cazenovia
to the left.)

Kranz family built stone patio immediately outside of the Lodge with the concrete stairwell down to the next level visible toward
right of picture. There is also the trail/roadway option down to the next level of terraces. This patio looks over the 3rd & 4th terraces & beyond toward the Cazenovia Creek: (Camera person is standing on the roadway)

This picture was taken at the Longacres 75th Diamond Jubilee Celebration a few years ago:

In between summer camp seasons, the Lodge/Dining Hall has always had the screens removed and shutters put up:

Looking toward the kitchen end of the Lodge/Dining Hall:

View when standing near the kitchen end of the Lodge/Dining Hall: (again, this is when the shutters are on & blocking the views)

One of the year round residences up on Grover Rd. of the Cazenovia Gorge Terrace lot - Cave Creek is the boundary to the left
of picture. There is a nice yard to the left of house & a much bigger open grassy lawn also to the right (outside) of picture. The large lawn
is between the two year round residences. Truly gorgeous building lot option well behind this house with the views & creeks. Knock down this house to enhance a home site/driveway or keep for the in-laws/rental income/etc. Approximately 950-1000 sq.ft.

(Appointment only- tenant living there now. See description at top of page for condition.)

The picture is of the second year round residence up on Grover Rd. of the Cazenovia Gorge Terrace lot. It is called the Carriage
House. Co-founder of Longacres; Jacqueline Kranz, used to live here. Knotty pine paneling, cathedral ceilings, small stone patio
visible near a gardening bed. Views from the rear windows are of the Lodge, over the terraces, & Cazenovia Creek.
Approximately 750-800 sq.ft.
