Turnkey Off Grid Cabin Retreat and Established Short Term Rental Opportunity on 18 acres in Pulteney NY 11318 Wisse Rd

Located in the heart of the Finger Lakes in Pulteney NY, this exceptional 18 acre recreational property offers an off-grid cabin retreat and short-term rental opportunity.

This is a rare combination of established short-term rental income, multiple private cabins, abundant wildlife, recreational opportunities, and room to create something entirely your own. Located just minutes from Hammondsport and Keuka Lake, the property currently features five ready-to-rent off-grid cabins, with a sixth cabin and day-camp-style gathering area included for additional recreational use.

The property provides an excellent opportunity for an investor seeking an established short-term rental operation, an outdoor enthusiast looking for a private hunting and recreational retreat, or someone searching for a unique property with the acreage and privacy to eventually create a secluded home or family compound.

Five of the cabins are currently set up and ready for short-term rental use. Each cabin is a private single-room accommodation designed to comfortably sleep two guests making them ideal for couples and travelers looking for a quiet, rustic Finger Lakes getaway. Four of the six cabins are currently being actively rented through VRBO and have demonstrated established short-term rental history and strong rental performance.

The sixth cabin is currently configured more as a private day-camp and gathering space rather than a rental unit. It provides additional flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or creating a larger destination-style recreational property. With multiple cabins already in place, a future owner could continue the existing rental operation, expand the use of the additional cabin, or utilize the property as a private retreat while maintaining rental income from the other cabins.

All of the cabins are intentionally off-grid providing an authentic rustic experience while keeping the property simple and low-impact. Each cabin is heated with a propane space heater and is equipped with an outdoor compost-style bucket toilet and wash basin. The Bird House cabin offers an additional dedicated bathroom area with a stand-up shower base and drain providing a convenient location for showering. The cabins currently do not have running water, electric service, or septic systems.

For those looking to modernize or expand the property, high-speed fiber internet and electric service are available at the road. This creates an intriguing opportunity for a future owner to selectively introduce additional utilities or improvements while maintaining the property’s rustic character.

The 18 acres are entirely contiguous and offer an excellent mixture of planted red pine and naturally occurring hardwoods. Much of the property consists of hand-planted red pine growing in established rows, with hardwoods sparsely scattered throughout. The land provides a beautiful private setting while also leaving substantial room for future improvements, additional recreational uses, trails, or a secluded homesite.

A particularly attractive feature is the property’s frog pond located on the north side. The pond provides an important natural water source for local wildlife and offers waterfowl habitat and drinking water for deer, turkey, and other wildlife. Combined with the property’s wooded acreage and secluded setting, the land lends itself exceptionally well to hunting, wildlife observation, outdoor recreation, and fishing.

The property also benefits from excellent access and substantial road frontage. There is direct frontage along Wisse Road, as well as private access to the north from Thornapple Hill Road, a private road, providing approximately 2,300 feet of total road frontage between the two access points. Having multiple access points creates additional flexibility for the current operation and for any future development of the property.

All owned mineral and other rights, including OGM rights, will transfer with the sale. An existing survey is also available and will convey to the new owner.

Beyond the property itself, the location offers some of the best recreational and tourism opportunities the Finger Lakes has to offer. The property is conveniently located near the Village of Hammondsport and beautiful Keuka Lake, with easy access to Prattsburgh, Urbana State Forest, hunting opportunities, snowmobile trails, and countless other outdoor activities. Keuka Lake’s renowned wine and brewery region is nearby, with dozens of wineries, breweries, restaurants, and other destinations located throughout the surrounding area.

Whether you’re looking for an established short-term rental investment, a private hunting and recreational retreat, a unique Finger Lakes getaway, or a large private parcel with the potential to create a secluded future home, this property offers an exceptional combination of income potential, recreational value, privacy, and flexibility.

With five rental-ready cabins, a sixth recreational cabin, 18 contiguous acres, established short-term rental history, strong rental performance, multiple access points, a private wildlife pond, and OGM rights conveying, this is a truly unique opportunity in the Finger Lakes region.
