57 Lancaster Street, Cherry Valley, NY 13320

During the late 1700s, the small village of Cherry Valley was the gateway to America's Western Frontier. Located along a well-traversed Indian path, the geography surrounding the village made it perfect for western migration on the Cherry Valley Turnpike - now known as Route 20, NYS Scenic Byway. After the Erie Canal opened in 1825, the village was less-traveled; but the advent of post-WWII auto travel breathed new life to the tiny village. "Tiny" in size only, Cherry Valley became an artist haven during the 1960s and 70s, a place where Allen Ginsberg and other beatnik-types called home. Take in the beauty at Cherry Valley Lilacs during the late spring to experience this haven for yourself. The population is approximately 1,437, in 2020. This 4.17 acre parcel is situated on Lancaster Street, a popular location within walking distance to the Main Street, with wonderful locally owned shops. Minutes to the historic village of Cooperstown with its world renowned museums, opera festival, many restaurants and shops, and of course Otsego Lake. Otsego Lake is nine miles long and is wonderful for swimming, boating and fishing. Build you dream home and watch the sunset from the hilltop.
