Located in the heart of the famous Leatherstocking region, renowned for its history, attractions and wildlife, this property can be your private hunting retreat or vacation getaway. There is a newer cabin approximately 10' x 12', with a loft and covered porch, that sleeps 4 easily, and is wired for electric/lighting through solar panels and heated by a wood stove. Ample space is provided for storage of equipment and RVs in the ~16’x20’ metal garage with overhead door for easy access. There is a natural spring on the property which could be used as an artesian well supplying water to the cabin or campgrounds. With over 1225’ feet of road frontage on a town-maintained road, the property has a gated driveway, with the cabin and camping area set well back from the road providing privacy. There is plenty of room to pull in one or more campers onto the open area surrounding the cabin, and room to turn around as well as park several vehicles. The topography is fairly flat and easy to traverse by hiking or ATV, with no steep hills, and a very nice trail system throughout the property. Heavily wooded, there is a variety of trees, with a decent sized amount of timber which could be harvested consisting of a mix of hardwoods (cherry, ash and maple) as well as hemlock. There were a lot of deer sign noted, with tracks all over and several buck rubs from last year were spotted. The property offers areas for food plot, brushy cover and areas to bed down, nice for attracting and holding whitetail deer and area wildlife. There were multiple locations on the property where the Seller has successfully utilized deer movement and harvested nice bucks capitalizing on their movements around the property and bedding areas. Calhoun Creek State Forest offers another 727 acres of prime hunting and hiking only approx. 3 miles away and great fishing, canoeing and kayaking are available approx. 4 miles away on the Unadilla River, renowned for smallmouth bass, brown trout, walleye and yellow perch among other species. More outstanding fishing options are nearby on either Otsego Lake, 4046 acres of pristine water, or Canadarago Lake, a 2000 acre lake and the headwaters of the Susquehanna River, with both featuring many species of freshwater fish including lake trout, walleye and perch as the most popular. The Glimmerglass State Park, provides 593 acres of natural woodlands, hiking, camping and a beautiful public beach with picnic grounds. While this property is in a beautiful country setting, amenities are available nearby. The town of New Berlin is only approx. 8 minutes away and both Oneonta and Norwich with additional shopping and restaurants are less than a half hour drive. Cooperstown is only approx. 40 minutes away and is world renowned for its cultural and recreational attractions including the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Fenimore Art Museum, Farmers Museum, Brewery Ommegang, and Glimmerglass Theatre.
