425 Quinlog Rd , Mount Vision, NY 13810(Otsego County)

PRICE REDUCED! This hidden gem is affordably priced, yet offers so much to a new buyer. Tucked away in a private setting on a well-maintained country road, this property features a charming circa 1830 Greek Revival home with an 1880 addition being sold “AS IS” along with a new 2 car, 2 story garage built in 2006. Antique home lovers would enjoy the opportunity to restore this historical home, which has foundation and flooring issues in one section of the house and second story water damage which occurred prior to an all new steel roof being installed in recent years.  The house retains many original architectural features including original hardwood floors, period moulding around windows and door casements, original doors, frieze-band windows on both front and back of the house, a simple entablature front door with full transom lights just to name a few.  The really nice garage could serve as both storage as well as a base camp for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, or remodelers as it is in great shape, has a poured concrete floor, overhead doors, and stairs to the spacious second floor with windows for natural light and ventilation. The property is located in the heart of the Leatherstocking Region of James Fenimore Cooper fame and is known for its robust whitetail deer population, wild turkey, grouse and overall thriving wildlife population. There is a small beaver pond and wetland area, surrounded by tall grasses, alders and poplars, providing a perfect food source for beavers as well as water and cover for other small animals and fowl. There were abundant deer sign, with many heavily pounded trails traversing the property as well as nice brushy undergrowth providing perfect habitat for grouse and small furbearers as well as a safe bedding retreat for whitetail.  In addition, the property also features active agricultural fields currently in hay production as well as hedgerows lined with apple trees providing feed for deer and turkeys. There are several hardwood stands on the property including mature, ready to harvest ash, cherry and maple trees, in addition to stands of both red and white pine and locust groves.  There is a separate hardwood ridge where turkey like to roost, located just below a clearing for the power line that runs along the back border of this property, and that provides open travel lanes for whitetail with many strategic location options for tree stands or shooting towers. While this is a secluded location, the village of Hartwick is approx 6 minutes away and a host of amenities approx 20 minutes away in Cooperstown, including the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown Dreams Park as well as shopping, hospital, gas and cultural attractions like the  Fenimore Art Museum, Farmers Museum, Brewery Ommegang, and Glimmerglass Theatre. Outstanding fishing awaits nearby on Otsego Lake, 4046 acres of pristine water,  with lake trout, walleye and perch among many other species, the Glimmerglass State Park, with its public beach and picnic grounds, as well as fantastic water recreational activities. Oneonta is approx 30 minutes away, with Hartwick College and SUNY Oneonta, and the property is approx 3.25 hours from the George Washington Bridge/NYC. This property offers so many opportunities: a remodeled forever home, camp, retreat, small farm, hunting and outdoor recreation. This very private location is still close to world class amenities, all at a very affordable price.
