Private Farmhouse/Hunting Camp w pond, brook, woods & wildlife

Nestled in the heart of Central New York, this special property has been in the same family since the 1930s, though the farm itself dates back to the 1830's with the first settlers in this area. Heavily wooded with a very nice mixture of hardwoods (cherry, oak, maple primarily), white pine and wild apple trees, the 2692 sq ft two-story farmhouse with 4 bedrooms and 1.5 baths sits in it own approximately 4 acre opening, along with a large, 55' by 35' antique barn, a half acre beautiful pond and another storage building that was formerly a 2 bay garage with additional storage. The new owner could make this house their year-round home or it could be an excellent vacation get-away or hunting camp, easily accommodating a large group of people. This private compound is very secluded on a town maintained road, surrounded by the heavily wooded area, and is lined with original stonewalls that traverse throughout the property. Since the property extends on both sides of the road, you'll have no worries about neighbors. Former logging trails provide an excellent trail system for hiking or ATV, while the entire property lies daily level. Red Brook runs through the property providing 2587' of this year-round stream across your private property. Former logging activity enhanced whitetail habitat for bedding and forbs, while an electrical power line that runs along one side of the property provides diversified habitat with a long stretch of open meadow, which could be used for food plots and strategically located tree or tower stands. Located in an area of NYS dedicated for decades to wildlife conservation and management, in addition to the thousands of acres of State Forests, the nearby farmland provides an attractive food source for whitetail, turkey and other small game. There was abundant whitetail sign on the property when recently walked, as well as wild turkey tracks. Less than a half mile down the road is Red Brook State Forest providing an additional 601 acres for hunting, hiking, and outdoor fun. Using this property as a base camp, additional outdoor activities can be found year round, with nearby Dorchester Park, less than 20 minutes away, which offers a public boat launch, beach and picnic grounds on the Whitney Point Reservoir, a 1200 acre lake with outstanding year round fishing for pike, bass and panfish, and adjoins the Whitney Point Multi-Use State Land. Winter or summer, you can enjoy several Montain Resorts for skiing, snowboarding, zip-lining, and mountain biking - all less than a half hour drive. A private location yet close to amenities in nearby Cincinnatus 6 miles away, Greene 12 miles away, or 20 minutes to Whitney Point. Binghamton is 40 minutes away, while New York City/George Washington Bridge is only 3.5 hours, and Scranton is 90 minutes away.
