Caswell RoadDryden, NY, 13068

Positioned between Ithaca and Cortland, this secluded 10-acre parcel offers the kind of character and quiet that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find. A small clearing welcomes you from the roadside before the land gradually unfolds into a more private natural setting, where established paths and trails wind through the property beneath mature trees and scattered apple trees that hint at the land’s history and seasonal beauty. Just beyond the center path, remnants of old stacked stone walls emerge from the landscape from what was once built there — timeless features that add texture, charm, and a connection to the region’s rural past. The trails invite exploration by foot, some for an ATV, or simply quiet walks through the woods, while the existing dug well and electric available at the road provide a valuable head start for future plans. Whether you envision a cabin retreat, homestead, campsite, recreational getaway, or future homesite, the property offers a peaceful canvas with a blend of usability and natural character. Located less than 20 minutes from both Ithaca and Cortland, you can enjoy easy access to the Finger Lakes region’s restaurants, universities, hiking, waterfalls, lakes, and year-round outdoor recreation at state parks like Taughannock Falls State Park and Buttermilk State Park while still feeling completely removed from the pace of town. Come take a look for yourself to view this standout rural retreat offering character, privacy, and a meaningful connection to the land. Reach out today to schedule a showing.
