Description
PRICE REDUCED! Imagine yourself in this unique oasis located well down a seasonal road, with an off-grid farmhouse built in 1855 for your use as a very private vacation retreat or hunting camp, surrounded by wildlife and acres of fields and woodlands. Located in northwest Chenango County, this property is an ideal getaway consisting of 136.74 acres of rolling fields, woods, a spring-fed brook and a beaver pond. There is a 19th-century, 2-story farmhouse on the property, fronting the seasonal road, and currently serves as a hunting camp/getaway. Electric could possibly be brought in from less than 1 mile away. Spring water is piped underground to within 50 feet of the back door, with deeded rights to the spring, which is located a couple of hundred yards away. A stone-lined dug well is also located on the property about 50 feet from the house. There is a small shed on the property for equipment and storage and an optional 1955 Ferguson gas tractor, brush hog and wagon for purchase. There are 59 wooded acres enrolled in the NYS Forest Management Program, resulting in lower property taxes. In 2023-2024, 29 of the 59 acres of timber are scheduled for select harvest, providing income to the landowner. Approximately 40 acres are leased to a local farmer who grows corn and hay, further enhancing the property for wildlife and hunting purposes. Wooded areas consist mainly of sugar and red maple, black cherry, some beech and white ash, with one area of mostly hemlock and a one-acre section of black locust. There are also many thorn apples, with some domestic apples scattered within an area adjacent to an overgrown field. This private haven is quiet and ideal for hunting and observing wildlife. This property adjoins the 1,835-acre Pitcher Springs State Forest, providing additional outstanding hunting, hiking and camping. It is within 5 miles of sections of the Finger Lakes Trail, a 950-mile hiking trail that traverses NYS and a section of snowmobile connector trail, offering the new owner year-round opportunities for outdoor recreation. In addition, the property is less than a half mile from the Otselic River, renowned for outstanding trout fishing. Essential amenities are available in the hamlet of South Otselic, just 4 miles from this property and additional shopping and restaurants are available 22 miles away in Norwich. Cortland is a half-hour drive; Binghamton and Syracuse are less than an hour; NYC/George Washington Bridge is located just 3.5 hours away. This is a great opportunity to own a truly special hunting/recreational property surrounded by pristine natural habitat in an area of NYS renowned for wildlife conservation.
