Description
This affordable property is a hunters’ and outdoor lovers’ haven, nestled within 2178 acres of State Forest, offering a perfect getaway in the heart of Central NY. The charming 1850 farmhouse offers many rustic features inside, including exposed beams and wood elements throughout. This property has many options: a comfortable cabin for hunting, a family get-away vacation home, or a year-round home for the new owner. A covered porch runs the length of the front of the house, perfect for sipping coffee on crisp mornings or gathering in the evenings to relax after a busy day. Inside the house are 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, a dining area within the open kitchen adjoining the living room. There is a first-floor laundry, bathroom, and master bedroom, with two additional bedrooms upstairs. A propane furnace heats the house, only 5 years old, or with wood from your own property in the fireplace and/or bluestone wood stove. A 25’ x 45’ two-story barn built c. 1900, which has room for vehicles and features two horse stalls downstairs and a large storage area upstairs for hay, feed or equipment. With the 10 acres of open fields for pastures and hay, the new owners could bring their horses or easily raise other livestock and crops for a small farm. In addition, there is a really nice stocked pond with a dock in place for fishing or swimming and a small cabin with power that could be used for camping out by the pond or a changing room. There is also a shooting shed providing coverage, with a 300-yard shooting range and a 30-yard moving target trolley for pistol or shotgun practice. Bucks Brook, a tributary to the Otselic River, runs a quarter of a mile through this property.
