Great off-grid hunting camp or vacation getaway with private pond. Located in the heart of the famous Leatherstocking Region of NYS, this is a prime location for hunting whitetail, wild turkey, and grouse or used as a beautiful wildlife preserve in an area renowned for wildlife conservation. There is a nice road leading into the heart of the property where there is a well-maintained established camp. The old town road beyond this property does not look like it has been used in many years, which creates a private paradise all to yourself. The cabin is roughly 576 square feet, with multiple rooms overlooking a cleared apple orchard. If you are looking for privacy, you have found your location. Several other areas are level and cleared if anyone wants to add additional structures or even set campers up. The property holds a great deal of hardwoods (oaks) that have not been touched in at least 70 years. Wild apple trees, along with two ravines and woodland, offer an ideal habitat for the area's wildlife. The beautiful pond is home to several types of fish for your private enjoyment. Multiple trails were created, providing easy access throughout the property. Future timber income potential is offered with the mixed hardwoods, including oak, maple, ash, beech along with hemlock. The last timber harvest was prior to the current owners buying it in 1958. Recent estimates have given a great deal of value to the hardwoods. There were ample deer and turkey sign when I 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 multiple benches and a nice ridge running at the top of the property, 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 (5.5 miles) from so many outstanding amenities in the Cooperstown 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. Amazing fishing and watersports are available on the pristine Otsego Lake, a 4046-acre lake, renowned for lake trout, walleye and perch. The Glimmerglass State Park is only 9 miles away and offers a public beach and picnic area along with 593 acres for hiking, camping, and, in the winter, ice skating and cross-country skiing on its many trails. Own your own piece of this legendary area of New York State, surrounded by wildlife and natural beauty but only minutes away from renowned Cooperstown.
