Plentiful whitetail deer sign, heavily pounded tracks and old rubs mark this really nice, heavily wooded parcel highlighted with an approx 12.5 acre beaver pond. A small stream exits the pond and cuts a small ravine, an enhancing feature to this already diverse property. The woods, wetlands, open areas and brushy undergrowth create an optimal setting to attract deer and other wildlife to browse, bed-down and hide. Access inside the property is easy following an old logging road, which separates two good sized stands of white pine and red pine. Among the white pine stand, there are some of the largest, nicest trees ever seen by this agent - large in diameter with a single leader and straight as an arrow - would make a lot of very nice lumber for personal use or sale, or leave as a beautiful and remarkable natural feature of this unique property. On the back side of the pond, running along an east-west ridge, there is also a solid stand of mixed hardwoods including maple, ash, cherry and oak offering the new buyer both oak mast as feed for deer and turkeys as well as income potential from harvestable timber. A well-managed timber harvest following QDMA practices would only further enhance the diverse habitat on this property and make the hunting and wildlife habitat even better. Electric service line runs along the bottom portion of this property providing an opportunity to build a home or cabin for the new owner. This property is private and remotely located on a seasonal use road, surrounded by other parcels of woods and nearby agricultural fields, and located in the heart of the Leatherstocking Region of James Fenimore Cooper fame and is known for its robust whitetail deer population, wild turkey, grouse and overall thriving wildlife population. While this is a secluded location, the village of Hartwick is approx 6 minutes away and a host of amenities approx 20 minutes away in Cooperstown, including the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown Dreams Park as well as shopping, hospital, gas and cultural attractions like the Fenimore Art Museum, Farmers Museum, Brewery Ommegang, and Glimmerglass Theatre. Outstanding fishing awaits nearby on Otsego Lake, 4046 acres of pristine water, with lake trout, walleye and perch among many other species, the Glimmerglass State Park, with its public beach and picnic grounds, as well as fantastic water recreational activities. Oneonta is approx 30 minutes away, with Hartwick College and SUNY Oneonta, and the property are approx 3.25 hours from the George Washington Bridge/NYC. This very private location is still close to world class amenities, potential home/cabin site, large natural pond and beautiful woods.
