Set on the top of a hill, with outstanding views of the valley below, the beautiful multi-use active farm offers the new owner two well-maintained, timber-framed barns built in 1906, ~31 acres of fenced pastures, and ~30 acres of active agricultural fields currently planted to hay and a nice woodlot. With a well and electric already in place, there are so many options for how this property could be utilized: any number of different crop and livestock farming, converted for horses, or a workshop/business, vacation getaway, or convert the timber frame barn to a year-round home. The highly desirable barns have been very well maintained, and were recently being used as a beef cattle operation with wooden decorative fencing along the roadside and high tensile (3 strands) for the pastures behind the barns. The main barn has a newer 200-amp service, and the well pump was recently replaced. The smaller barn was rebuilt by the Amish seven years ago, and some general repairs to the main barn were made by them at the same time. The entire road frontage offers ample electric, providing multiple options for building a new home or cabin. In addition, the Town of Cincinnatus has municipal water along the road frontage, which could be tapped into as well, rather than drilling another well for a new home or cabin. Also, there is a fire hydrant in front of the main barn, which is very favorable with insurance companies as far as getting coverage in a rural location. There is a potential building site north of the barns where a perc test was performed by the County, which passed with flying colors. And most uniquely, there is a spring house on the property which covers an 400' deep artesian well, originally drilled to supply Lower Cincinnatus with fresh water in the 1920's, and now continues to provide a constant, year-round steady flow of fresh water, which the new owner could pipe to a storage tank and provide gravity-fed spring water to a new house, camp or agricultural related venture. The fields, which appear to be well-drained and mostly level, are currently in hay production, which could be used by the new owner or leased out to area farmers for additional income. The adjoining woodlot adds to the diversity of the property and provides diverse habitat for local wildlife and excellent locations for deer, wild turkey, and grouse hunting. There are multiple good choices for food plots and stand locations. There were several established deer runs through the property. The woods are a mixture of hardwoods with some timber for farm use or additional income potential. There were wild apple trees which attract wildlife and feed for deer, turkey and grouse. The renowned Otselic River is literally right down the road from this property and offers excellent fishing for Brown trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass, and walleye, among other species. Winter sports in this area include snowmobiling on the many state and local trail systems, as well as downhill skiing and snowboarding available within 25 minutes at the Greek Peak Mountain Resort. The Taylor Valley Wildlife Management Area consisting of 10,267 acres of state forests and public lands includes: Taylor Valley State Forest, Hoxie Gorge State Forest, Baker School House State Forest, Donahue Woods State Forest, Gee Brook State Forest and Papish Pond Multiple-Use Area surround this property, so the new owner would have access to additional outdoor recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, camping and miles of maintained trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling and cross-country skiing on the multiple public lands just down the road 0.7 of a mile (Gee Brook State Forest) to less than 15 minutes drive to these other State Lands in close proximity. Amenities and shopping are available in Cincinnatus, only 1.4 miles away. Binghamton is less than an hour, and New York City/George Washington Bridge is 3 hours.
