Welcome to your idyllic, once in a lifetime, hilltop paradise. Once known as Adaca Acres, this farmstead has been lovingly maintained, and now presents an unparalleled opportunity which will appeal in a multitude of ways. This property offers a serene rural retreat, nestled amid rolling hills and lush greenery, where the air is crisp and the views stretch for miles. Away from city lights the night sky is a breathtaking expanse, punctuated by thousands of stars. This tranquil property offers a perfect blend of privacy and natural beauty, making it an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The home itself is a cozy, older farmhouse imbued with a nautical theme; the first floor offers ample living area composed of an eat-in kitchen (with propane fueled ‘woodstove’), bedroom with en-suite full bath, spacious living room, laundry, and a delightful front porch, while an agile ascent up the stairs offers 2 more bedrooms and a full bath. Words do not convey the majesty of the landscape. Former agrarian fields and ponds roll in front of your eyes, while access roads lead into the mixed upland woods (including a sweet section of stream right next to the adjacent Milford State Forest land). The entire property is teeming with a diverse range of natural biodiversity and habitats for all manner of central NY wildlife. The property is enrolled in the NY 480a Forestry Management Program, resulting in managed timber stands and trails, incredibly low taxes (just over $4,00/year TOTAL!), and planned timber harvests. Tucked away from busy roads, this property offers a true sense of solitude while still being accessible to nearby towns. The property is located 10 miles directly north of Oneonta with SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick College is very accessible from Interstate 88. Less than 30 minutes to Cooperstown and within one to two hours, one can be in Binghamton, Albany, or Syracuse and 15 minutes from Gilbert Lake State Park. Investors will also love the proximity to Cooperstown All Star Village (10 minutes), and Dreams Park (17 minutes)- prime for the thriving local short term rental market.
