Description
Charming and picturesque, this 650+/- square foot 1 bedroom, one bath log cabin overlooks a spring-fed pond with fish and creates a storybook setting at the base of an 89+ acre wooded parcel, ideal for hunting or simply escaping to the country. The cabin has power, water and indoor bathroom facilities, a small kitchenette, and an open living room that is kept cozy-warm with a cast iron wood stove. The pond has a dock for fishing or swimming. Carefully and selectively logged 4-5 years ago, multiple trails were created, providing easy access throughout the property. Future timber income potential is offered with the mixed hardwoods, including oak, maple, ash, and beech, along with red pine and hemlock. The last timber harvest resulted in the undergrowth, creating excellent habitat for deer and wildlife. There are other locations for potential building areas along the road and up into the property if desired. There was ample deer and turkey sign when recently walked. This location is well known for excellent hunting for nice bucks and wild turkey. With its diverse habitat, this property would make an excellent hunting camp or build a year-round residence or vacation getaway. There are several good places for food plots and tree stands in strategic locations between the small open area and trails through the property. With multiple benches and a nice ridge running at the top of the property, the topography provides excellent spots for hunting, as whitetail deer and wild turkey traverse this area, living in the surrounding woods and brushy cover. This private location is only minutes away (2.5 miles) from so many outstanding amenities in the 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, 4046-acre lake renown for lake trout, walleye, and perch and the Glimmerglass State Park is only 9 miles away. It offers a public beach and picnic areas along with 593 acres for hiking, camping, and ice skating and cross country skiing on its many trails in the winter. Own your own piece of this legendary area of New York State, surrounded by wildlife and natural beauty but only minutes away from renowned Cooperstown. Portions of this property are part of a larger parcel and may require Town subdivision approval. Additional acreage is also available.
