Diverse Prime Hunting Property, Building Spot, Near NYS Land
County Highway 12, Lot#WP001 Laurens, NY 13796
Description
Check out this diverse property with excellent hunting potential. Loads of deer sign throughout the mix of open tillable fields, brushy meadows, and woods, with over 4700' of stream crossing through. With power available at the road, you could build your new hunting camp/vacation getaway or build your new home, with several choices for location as this property has road frontage on two different year-round maintained paved country roads. There are approximately 23 acres of tillable fields, which could be used for a small farm or horses or leased to area farmers for supplemental income. The brushy and herbaceous growth meadows are ideal for browse, cover for whitetail, and cover for small game, wild turkey and grouse. The property has gently rolling topography, easily traversed with over 4700' of a stream cutting through, and a beaver pond for a nice natural wetland setting, further enhancing the diverse habitat. Wild apple trees dot the landscape, providing an additional food source for deer and other wildlife. There are approx. 58 acres of woods, which are a mix of hardwoods along with nice hemlock and some pine. There is a gated/locked roadway, maintained by the power company, under the transmission lines, which cross the eastern side of the property and provide excellent, private access to the landowner and an ideal shooting lane where whitetail funnel through. Even more outdoor recreation is available just a short walk to Gilbert Lake State Park (918+/- feet) with additional hunting on its 1584 acres, as well as fishing on its lake and three ponds, as well as more than 12 miles of interconnecting trails for hikers, skiers, snowmobilers and snow-shoers, as well as playgrounds, swimming, boat rentals and boating (car top/hard bottom boats). This property is located just 5 miles from Laurens for amenities, shopping, and restaurants, while Oneonta is only 17 miles away. Cooperstown is a half hour and offers a host of amenities; shopping and entertainment are available close by, including the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown Dreams Park and cultural attractions like the Fenimore Art Museum Farmers Museum, Brewery Ommegang, and Glimmerglass Theatre. Otsego Lake, 4046 acres of pristine water, is just a half hour away with outstanding water recreation, fishing for lake trout, walleye and perch, among many other species, as well as Glimmerglass State Park with its public beach and picnic grounds. This diverse property is 3 hours from the George Washington Bridge/NYC and offers many opportunities: it could be your prime hunting location, build your new home with room for horses or a small farm, or your vacation retreat in the heart of the beautiful Leatherstocking Region of NY.
