Hunt, Camp or Home Site, Ag fields, Woods, 900' on Fly Creek
Located in the heart of the Leatherstocking Region and a short drive from Cooperstown, this property offers so many opportunities to the new owner: camp or home building sites, agricultural fields, mature woods, waterfront on Fly Creek, and location between two pristine lakes in an area steeped in beauty, history and folklore. The property is a beautiful location set up off a quiet but paved, year round maintained road, nestled with flat to gently sloping terrain. Over 26 acres of agricultural fields were planted to hay and corn in 2020 and offer continued use for agricultural purposes or offer options to plant food plots for whitetail and other area wildlife. Within the woodlot, there are a mix of hardwoods including cherry, maple and oak. An easy walk over to the 900' of water frontage on Fly Creek offers idyllic views of your own creek where brook trout have been caught as recently as April of 2021. Numerous wild apple trees around the property also provide food and ideal locations for ground blinds or tree stands. Some areas around these trees have been mowed providing shooting lanes. Agricultural fields attract whitetail, wild turkey, grouse and other small game with additional food and brushy hedgerows and wooded areas offer bedding and cover for wildlife. A former pond is now a wetland area and provides additional diversity to this property and more cover for whitetail and other animals. This property could be used for its agriculture as a small farm, or a great place to provide pasture and turnout for horses or other livestock. Create your perfect getaway camp, cabin or new home site from the numerous places for potential building locations. New owners have their choice of outstanding fishing nearby on either Otsego Lake, 4046 acres of pristine water, or Canadarago Lake, a 2000 acre lake and the headwaters of the Susquehanna River, with both featuring many species of freshwater fish including lake trout, walleye and perch as the most popular.
