Endless Opportunities
The Sanctuary Farm exhibits level to rolling terrain with woodlands, streams, wetlands and open farm fields. A conservation easement recorded on the property allows for many additional open space uses, including generating revenue from farming and hunt club leases.

Conservation
The property shares common boundary with the 10,000-acre Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, administered by the US Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, designated by the American Bird Conservancy and National Audubon as a Globally-Important Birding Area. The Refuge, plus this subject property, added to other preserves and permanently-protected farmland, constitutes a 17,000-acre Wildlife Conservation Area of extraordinary proportion. A Conservation Easement is recorded in favor of the Nature Conservancy, an internationally-renowned conservation organization.

Property Amenities
The property features extensive amenities, including ponds stocked with game fish, some which can be flooded to make substantially larger wildfowl impoundments. There is underground electric service, delivered natural gas, on-site water wells and an on-site septic system. Watching the sun goes down from one of the many duck and deer blinds speckled throughout is a memorable experience. In the late fall to early winter, look up to the orange sky at sunset to watch multiple tens of thousands of migratory waterfowl, including over 13 different species of ducks and geese. Cast a line into ponds stocked with game fish, from large mouthed and hybrid striped bass to very substantial catfish.
