Great opportunity to own a beautiful and affordable building lot in the legendary Leatherstocking Region near Cooperstown. This diverse property offers open fields which could easily be brought back into active agricultural use with crops, livestock, horses, or other small farm operation. There is an approx. ½ acre pond in the meadow, ideally located for a new home or vacation getaway to be built and overlook the idyllic setting. There is power at the paved, year round maintained quiet country road as well as high speed internet service possible. Already perc tested and surveyed, the land lays fairly level for the majority of the lot and then gently slopes down at the far end. There is a 6+ acre woodlot featuring a mix of hardwoods, including oak, which provides acorn mast as a nice supplemental food source for whitetail, wild turkey and other area wildlife. Along the back end, the property borders over 600 acres of state land at Roseboom State Park, which offers additional hunting and trapping opportunities, as well as miles of interconnecting trails for hikers, skiers, snowmobilers and snow-shoers, as well as camping grounds.
