| Notes: |
Located in the heart of the famous Leatherstocking Region, this is a prime location for hunting whitetail, wild turkey, or grouse, with multiple options to build your new home, hunting camp, or vacation getaway. With the 16 acres of tillable land and additional pasture, this would also make a very nice small farm as well. The property features a diverse topography with the flat areas off the road as active tillable ag land, along additional open meadows. There is also a large equipment barn, which could be used for livestock or horses. Beyond that there is a small creek surrounded by brushy growth, ideal cover for whitetail and other area wildlife. From there the land slopes upward into the 77+/- acres of woodland, which is a mix of soft and hardwoods, mainly cherry and maple with some oak. Over 1200 feet of water frontage follow Fly Brook, which runs along the western border of the property. Carefully and selectively logged over the years, multiple trails were created providing easy access throughout the property. Future timber income potential is offered with the mixed hardwoods. The last timber harvest resulted in undergrowth creating excellent habitat for deer and wildlife. There are other locations for potential building areas along the road, and there is an equipment shed which could be used as a barn for livestock or horses. There was ample deer and turkey sign when recently walked. There are several other good places for food plots and tree stands in strategic locations along the open areas and trails through the property. With the nice ridge running at the top of the property and the surrounding farm lands, the topography provides excellent spots for hunting, as whitetail deer and wild turkey traverse this area, living in the surrounding woods and brushy cover. This private location is only minutes away from so many outstanding amenities in the Cooperstown (14 miles away) and surrounding areas, including the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Fenimore Art Museum, NYS Historical Society, Farmers Museum, Brewery Ommegang, Glimmerglass Opera, Cooperstown Dreams Park, as well as shopping, several area golf courses, and many choices of outstanding restaurants.
