Live the dream in this charming Greek Revival Farmhouse located in the legendary Leatherstocking area near Cooperstown NY. The farmhouse was originally built in 1840 but has been lovingly cared for and updated through the years while retaining many original features as well. The house is 2627 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, one of which is on the first floor and conveniently includes the laundry room. Beautiful wide plank floors set off the warm and inviting main floor, with separate living, study and dining areas. In the kitchen there is both an old-fashioned cast iron, wood-burning cook stove as well as a modern stainless steel gas range with oven. Upstairs features four nice-sized bedrooms and a shared full bathroom with a claw foot tub. The attic has been insulated with contemporary spray foam insulation. While the house is heated with an oil furnace, the living room also has a very appealing wood stove for extra coziness in the cold weather. The house has a newer steel roof and low-maintenance aluminum siding as well as 2 septics and a newer well pump. There are multiple barns on the property, some historical, others more recently built, which can be used for livestock, storage, workshops or any number of other possibilities. The property has been actively used for farming with 44+/- acres of tillable fields combined with fenced pasture, most recently used for beef cattle. This property offers excellent deer and turkey habitat, which transitions from mature hardwood stands to open areas as well as dense cover. The back section of the property is ideal for food plots. The woodlot is a mix of pine and hardwood, with mainly oak and maple. There is a small pond on the property as well. On the back side of the property, it borders Gilbert Lake State Park providing an additional 1584 acres for additional hunting, as well as 12+ miles of trails for hiking, skiing, and snowmobiling, in addition to swimming, boating and fishing on the lake. Nearby Texas Schoolhouse State Forest with 1245 acres is only 2 miles down the road and offers additional outdoor recreation with hunting, and hiking, as well as multiple fishing opportunities for wild and stock trout, including Butternut Creek. Amenities are available in nearby Mount Vision 5 miles away and Hartwick 6 miles. The property is close to area colleges, Hartwick College and SUNY Oneonta. In addition, this country location is only minutes away from so many outstanding amenities in 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, and the Glimmerglass State Park with a public beach with picnic areas and 593 acres for hiking, camping, and in the winter ice skating and cross country skiing on its many trails. This is a very special property and offers the new owner so many choices: a large family private home, small farm or vacation get-away, solid income potential as a rental so close to Cooperstown and baseball venues, a hunting camp that can accommodate a large party with additional 1584 acres in the adjoining Gilbert Lake State Park, all this located within the legendary and historical Leatherstocking area of Central New York State.
