Serene Country Retreat; almost 80 acres, huge barn, move-in ready farmhouse, multiple building sites, and a ½ mile of Elk Creek water frontage!
The charming 3-bedroom, 1-bath home boasts a stunning stone fireplace in the living room, a functional kitchen with a breakfast nook, and a dining room complete with a wood-burning stove and built-ins. The vaulted upstairs loft adds versatility, serving as an ideal space for an extra bedroom or home office. Natural woodwork, knotty pine, and wide plank flooring add to the cozy farmhouse feel. Step outside to a 300 sq. ft. stone porch, where you can relax and enjoy breathtaking valley views. Recent updates, including a brand-new septic tank, new roof, and newer furnace and hot water tank, ensure modern convenience in a charming rural setting.
The property also includes a massive 5,000 sq. ft. mechanic shop/barn that is partially heated and equipped with 3-phase power. Formerly a machine shop, this versatile space is perfect for hobbies, farming, or business use. The land itself is a nature lover’s dream, featuring scenic trails ideal for ATVs, hiking, or hunting, as well as 1/2 mile of direct creek access for fishing or relaxation. Extensive road frontage, including Camel Hill Rd which is town maintained and intersects the property, provide numerous options for additional building sites. Several areas have been cleared, with convenient access, privacy, and gorgeous mountain views. Future timber value, open space to pasture animals, and plenty of wildlife add to the properties potential.
Conveniently located just minutes from Cooperstown and Oneonta and approximately one hour from Albany, this property offers the tranquility of the countryside with easy access to nearby towns and amenities. Properties of this size, with this potential, don’t arrive often. Don’t miss your chance to own this Expansive Countryside Haven—schedule your showing today!
