The Land

This expansive property spans the corner of Frank Slawson Road and White Hill Road in the Town of Davenport, with over 1,200 feet of frontage on Frank Slawson and more than 2,000 feet on White Hill — generous road access that opens up flexibility for building, subdividing, or simply enjoying multiple points of entry to the land. Electric service is available along both roads, removing one of the most common hurdles to developing rural acreage.

The terrain reads like a sportsman’s wish list. Open pastures give way to brushy transition corridors — the edge habitat that deer, turkey, and grouse rely on — before opening into deep, mature woods that extend to the property’s interior. Historic stone walls trace the old field lines, a quiet reminder of the generations of hill-country farming that shaped this landscape. A network of well-maintained logging roads traverses the parcel, making the back acreage genuinely accessible by quad, side-by-side, or on foot. You can move through 137.93 acres without bushwhacking, which is no small thing on a working hunting property.

A Hunter’s Property

The wildlife signs here are abundant: whitetail deer, wild turkey, ruffed grouse, red and gray fox, and coyote all move regularly through this part of Davenport. The combination of open ground, transitional cover, and dense woodland creates the layered habitat that holds game year-round and concentrates it during the rut and the fall flights. For a hunting camp, a family compound, or a private retreat, this is the kind of land that rewards both casual outings and serious pursuit.

Building Possibilities

For buyers thinking beyond recreation, the property offers genuine homesite potential. A newly cut roadway runs from Frank Slawson Road up to the upper fields — sitting at roughly 2,160 feet above sea level — where the land opens to long views across the Susquehanna Valley. It’s the kind of westerly Catskill prospect that’s increasingly hard to find unspoiled, and the elevation alone sets this parcel apart from most acreage in the region. Multiple potential building sites exist across the property, from secluded woodland clearings to elevated meadow positions with established access already in place.

The Setting

Davenport sits in northern Delaware County, close to the Otsego County line, putting this parcel within easy reach of Oneonta’s restaurants, hospitals, and SUNY campus, while still feeling a world away. Cooperstown is a short drive east; the Catskill Park, the Pepacton and Cannonsville reservoirs, and the trout waters of the West Branch Delaware are all within day-trip range. This is upstate at its most versatile — wild country with civilized amenities just down the road.

Whether you’re looking for a legacy hunting property, a future homesite with views, or simply 137+ acres to call your own in one of the Northeast’s most beautiful regions, this Davenport parcel deserves a serious look.
