There are few times you can claim a property is truly a “one of a kind” and this is one of them. A former koi fish farm business, with up to 20 ponds, some with koi fish still living in them, offers the new owner so many opportunities to develop and enjoy this beautiful property. Located on a hill top at the end of a paved, town-maintained road, beautiful views overlook the ponds and the hills and valley beyond from the ranch style home and huge wrap-around deck. The 1250 sf ft. home was built in 1990 with two additions and offers 3-4 bedrooms, 2 baths, with cathedral ceilings and a wall of windows overlooking the spectacular property. Heated by propane, there are 2 fireplace/propane stoves as well as a mini-split that provides both heating and cooling depending on the season. This comfortable home features low maintenance steel roof, along with wood and vinyl siding as well as a 2 car attached garage. In addition there are 2 small barn/outbuildings used as part of the former koi business . Beautifully maintained, the crowning features are the ~20 spring fed ponds, many of which still have koi fish living in them. They empty into each other which facilitates fish harvesting if desired. In addition, there are approx. 20 acres of active ag fields, currently planted to hay, which a neighboring farmer is cutting. These could easily be used for a small farm, horses, livestock pastures or continue to lease/sell the hay for income potential. The ~27 acres of the woodlot, which is a mix of hardwoods, mostly maple, and softwoods has not been logged in well over 30 years and also presents an income opportunity either as a sugar maple grove or selective timber harvest. While this property is private and secluded, amenities, shopping, restaurants and entertainment are only a short drive away in Unadilla within 6 miles, Sidney 8 miles and Oneonta within a half hour. This property could be your new year round home, commuting to the Binghamton area within an hour or your seasonal retreat located only 2.5 hours from NYC/George Washington Bridge.
