What makes this classic farmhouse unusual, even among rural properties, is how it sits. Unlike most of its era, which were built close to the road, this one is set well back — giving the farm a privacy and quiet that feels intentional rather than accidental. To the east, a broad hillside rises behind the property, creating a natural shelter that makes the site feel held rather than exposed. It's a place to decompress and reconnect. The views from the west-facing porch are exactly what you'd hope for — long evening light across open fields, unhurried sunsets, and the kind of sky city life makes you forget. The timber-frame barn is the centerpiece. Its construction is exceptional — true post-and-beam craftsmanship, increasingly rare. A key feature is the taller-than-typical first-floor ceiling height, making it practical for horses and well suited to events, a studio, or agricultural and creative uses needing volume and light. A large fenced area is attached. A 1910 Hops Barn and a chicken coop with fenced run complete the outbuildings, each adding agricultural history. 98 acres in total, with 42 acres of unsprayed farmland for over a decade, plus woodland, a creek, and old fruit trees, including likely heirloom varieties alongside newer plantings. Seller-owned grid-tied solar supports heating and lighting, while generous road frontage and subdivision potential add flexibility. The four-bedroom farmhouse is solid and ready for your vision. Hardwood floors, vintage accents, wood-burning fireplaces, a patio with built-in chimney grill, and a front porch facing the evening sky. The bones are good, and the setting makes it a worthwhile investment. The farm is within easy reach of Bassett Medical Center, a respected teaching hospital with advanced care and trauma services. Minutes away, Cooperstown offers cultural and recreational highlights including the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, and The Farmers' Museum. The Glimmerglass Festival brings world-class opera each summer on Otsego Lake, while Brewery Ommegang and Fly Creek Cider Mill & Orchard add to the area’s appeal.
