Unique setting camp or home, ponds, diverse habitat borders NYS

This property is very special for several reasons: the house/camp is located at the end of a 1.3 mile private road/driveway in the center of the property and overlooks the fields, woods and ponds and is bordered on several sides by the Skinner Hill State Forest with a buffer of an additional 1666 acres of NYS lands away from neighbors, providing the ultimate in privacy and opportunities for any number of outdoor activities, while still being close to nearby towns for shopping & amenities as needed. The original house, built in c. 1900, is a 3 story, 4 bedroom, 2 bath simplified colonial style farmhouse in the process of renovation by the former owner, with portions livable now as a camp or vacation getaway; and with additional renovation, ample room for larger gatherings of friends and family. There are 2 woodstoves, electrical service, well and septic. The new owner could also build new on this beautiful setting with these services already in place. The 53 acres of former ag fields are mainly level, could easily be brought back into active production for a small farm operation, livestock, horses, specialty crops and/or serve as large food plots for attracting the local whitetail deer. Or the fields could be leased out to area farmers for potential income opportunity. There are two ponds on the property, one constructed and one natural beaver pond and wetland area, along with 3 streams that cut through the property and feed in/out of the ponds, providing ample water supply to wildlife or livestock, in addition to the swimming and fishing. The 172 acre woodlot is a mix of hardwoods and softwoods, providing future timber opportunities as well as wild apple trees spotted throughout the hedgerows, offering additional feed for the deer and other wildlife. Based on the diversity of the property including ag fields, woods, brush for cover, multiple water sources with ponds and streams, this property supports a diverse wildlife population including wild turkey, grouse and other small game. Multiple locations are available on this property for food plots, which would enhance deer hunting. In addition to the opportunity for small farm, hunting, or a new home site, additional near-by outdoor recreational opportunities are available only minutes from this property: Skinner Hill State Forest borders this property on 3 sides offering another 1666 acres for hunting, hiking and camping; fishing on the nearby Unadilla River with brown trout, smallmouth bass, and walleye among other species, and just 40 minutes to Cooperstown/Otsego Lake with more amazing fishing and watersports are available on this pristine 4046 acre lake with llake trout, walleye & perch, as well as Glimmerglass State Park with a public beach with picnic areas and 593 acres for hiking, camping, and in the winter ice skating and cross country skiing on its many trails.
