7667 Hickory Bottom Rd Naples, NY 14512

Hidden in the wooded hillsides above the Honeoye Valley in Ontario County, this extraordinary 600+/- acre property outside Naples, NY offers one of the rarest land ownership opportunities to recently come to market in NY's Finger Lakes region. With unmatched scale, beauty, and historical character, this is more than land and lodges-it's legacy. Formerly the site of Roberts Wesleyan University's Davis Mountain campus, the property once served as a natural classroom where students and faculty would "Touch the Earth" and "Rough It" while immersed in the glacially carved ridges, valleys, and forests stands of this diverse landscape. Today, that same spirit lives on through 10+ miles of interior trails, a diverse mix of topography, and more than a dozen spring-fed ponds-including a stunning 3-acre bass, perch- and pike-filled lake. This vast tract places you in the heart of a four-season recreational corridor. Nestled just across the valley from Hunt Hollow Ski Club and only five miles south of Honeoye Lake's southern shore, the property is also near Bristol Mountain, the Honeoye Inlet Wildlife Management Area, Harriett Hollister Spencer State Recreation Area and more. Whether you're skiing, hiking, mountain biking, or backcountry exploring, adventure is minutes away! Rochester lies less than an hour to the north, making the property both remote and readily accessible. The land itself is a natural playground for hunting and recreation. Expansive ridgelines, timber flats, and secluded clearings provide outstanding habitat for deer, turkey, ducks, and even the occasional black bear. The ponds and wetlands attract waterfowl in season, while the rolling elevation and trail network create an ideal setting for cross-country skiing, ATV and horseback riding, mountain biking, or simply taking in nature while treading on foot. Three architecturally distinct mountain lodges, each with its own unique style inspired by the Adirondacks and western mountain retreats, offer rustic charm and handcrafted detail. Inside, you'll find cozy bedrooms paired with large, commanding gathering spaces, anchored by beautifully built hearths and mantles that radiate warmth, character and soul soothing aura. The main lodge features a covered porch and generous deck with long, south-facing views-perfect for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or entertaining under a star-studded sky. Each lodge includes power, septic service and a running water source. Surrounded by woods there's no rooftops, no neighboring lights and nothing but the calls of the wild to soothe the soul. Whether you're looking for a world-class hunting and fishing property, a private family compound, a trail-centered equestrian escape, or a conservation-minded retreat, this land delivers. Timber stands are rich with northern red oak, white oak, chestnut oak, hickory, and sugar maple among other native hardwoods and softwood species. The property is enrolled in New York State's 480a Forest Tax Law Program, which significantly reduces taxes while supporting sustainable forestry and enhancing wildlife habitat. Large acreage parcels in this part of the Finger Lakes almost never hit the market-especially ones with this kind of history, natural infrastructure, and sheer scale. This is a once-in-a-generation chance to own something truly remarkable. A blank canvas awaits-ready for you to paint your own vision of legacy, adventure, and connection.
