Many opportunities present themselves with this spacious, updated farmhouse. There are 4 comfortable bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a large eat-in kitchen, separate dining room, spacious entry/mudroom that connects the main house to the attached 1 car garage, two living/family rooms, a pretty Victorian-style fireplace, and a convenient main floor laundry room. With 3330 square feet of living space, this house is currently a one-family, but was once a 2-family home with two separate entrances and, with some modifications, could provide rental income to the new owner.

The farm itself could be used for any number of purposes: small farm, livestock, specialty crops, horses or home business. Multiple barns are available, including a large 2 story dairy barn, a 40’x60’ pole barn with concrete floor, and various outbuildings for additional storage, livestock, horses and/or equipment.  

The field in front of the house is level and planted to alfalfa and the second field has a moderate grade and is currently in grass hay production. These could be used by the new owner for crops or pasture or leased out to area farmers for additional income. The adjoining woodlot adds to the diversity of the property and provides diverse habitat for local wildlife and excellent locations for deer, wild turkey and grouse. An NYS-maintained snowmobile trail is located nearby with easy access for winter fun.

In addition to the multiple uses this property offers the new owner, the property is located 2.5 miles or less from Papish Pond State Forest, with its 38-acre fishing pond, and Gee Brook State Forest with 865 acres offering additional outdoor recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, camping as well as trails for hiking, mountain biking, snowmobiling & cross-country skiing.

The renowned Otselic River is just over a mile down the road from this property and offers excellent fishing for Brown trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass, and walleye, among other species. Winter sports in this area include snowmobiling on the many state & local trail systems nearby, downhill skiing and snowboarding in the winter at the Greek Peak Mountain Resort, only 20 minutes away. At the same time, in the summer, zip-lining, Sky Tours and mountain coaster rides are also available.  

A public boat launch, beach and picnic area are available within 12 minutes at Dorchester Park, located on the Whitney Point Reservoir, a 3168-acre man-made pristine lake, offering outstanding fishing, boating and swimming.

Amenities and shopping are available in Cincinnatus, only 5 miles away, Marathon 10 minutes drive or Whitney Point, located 16 minutes away. More shopping, restaurants & entertainment is available in Cortland in just over 20 minutes and Binghamton is a little over a half-hour. New York City/George Washington Bridge is a 3 hour and 15-minute drive.

This is an excellent opportunity to buy an affordable small farm with great potential for many uses: single-family home, 2 family rental, small farm, horse property or livestock, located near many outdoor recreational attractions.
