The Starr Corners Tract is a 157-acre property located in the Town of Laurens, Otsego County. The offering is highly stocked timberland property with the species composition favoring valuable hardwood sawtimber. A 2014 timber inventory completed by a reputable forestry firm demonstrates forest positioned for immediate cash returns in the form of timber sales. The inventory estimates over 1.5 million board feet of total sawtimber or an average of 9.61 MBF (Scribner) per acre. Red maple (23%), northern red oak (16%), hemlock (11%), sugar maple (11%), and white ash (11%) make up over 60% of the species composition. Detailed inventory reports are available upon request.
