Walk up through the hayfields on this 61.58 acres and stop where the ground levels out. The valley opens up below you, and the hills stack one behind another as far as you can see. The land faces east, so the sun comes up over those hills and lands on the fields first thing. That view is what makes this property, and it sits about 10 minutes from Jamestown. A driveway is already in off Spencer Road, so getting a truck, a camper or a builder onto the land doesn't start with an excavator. The ground is level to gently rolling, which gives a home site more than one good option. Put the house up high with the valley out the front windows, or set it back against the hardwoods where the woods wrap around the yard. The fields have been kept in hay, and it shows. They're cut clean to the hedgerows, with no brush creeping in from the corners. Roughly three quarters of the property is open, mostly Dalton and Fremont silt loam on gentle slopes that the USDA classes as farmland of statewide importance. It's in hay today, but it doesn't have to stay that way. A buyer can keep cutting it or work it up into tillable ground for crops, and either way starts with fields that have been cared for. About 15 acres of hardwoods sit in the southeast corner, where the land drops off more steeply, and there's harvestable timber in there. That's value standing in the woods, ready whenever the next owner decides to cut. The woods also put deer cover right next to open feeding ground, and the hedgerows give them a path from one field to the next. There's about 478 feet of frontage on paved Spencer Road with electric along it, no mapped wetlands, and the property is in the Frewsburg Central School District. A listing can describe the view, but it can't do it justice. Drive up early, climb to the top of the hayfield, and watch the sun come up across the valley.
