What makes this classic farmhouse unusual--even among rural properties--is how it sits. Unlike most homes of its era, typically built close to the road, this one is set well back, giving the entire farm compound a sense of privacy and quiet that feels intentional. To the east, a broad hillside rises gently behind the property, creating a natural backdrop that makes the setting feel sheltered rather than exposed. It's the kind of place where you can decompress and reconnect. From the west-facing porch, long evening light stretches across open fields, with unhurried sunsets and expansive skies that are increasingly hard to find. The timber-frame barn is a standout. Built with true post-and-beam craftsmanship, it offers a scale and integrity that's increasingly rare. Its taller-than-typical first-floor ceiling height makes it well suited for horses, events, or creative and agricultural uses that require volume and light. A large fenced area is attached. A 1910 hops barn and a chicken coop with fenced run add further character and history. The property spans 98 acres, including 42 acres of open farmland that has remained unsprayed for over a decade, along with woodland, a creek, and a mix of mature and newly planted fruit trees. Grid-tied solar supports heating and electrical needs, while generous road frontage offers subdivision potential. The four-bedroom farmhouse is solid and full of character, with hardwood floors, vintage details, wood-burning fireplaces, a patio with built-in chimney grill, and a front porch oriented toward the evening sky. The layout is flexible and ready for thoughtful updates. Located within easy reach of Bassett Medical Center, a respected teaching hospital with trauma services and helipad access. Just minutes away, Cooperstown offers the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, and The Farmers' Museum, along with the Glimmerglass Festival on Otsego Lake, microbreweries and a variety of other local attractions.
