This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this unique property. Once known as ''Waiontha'' by the indigenous peoples who inhabited it, it includes over 1600' of frontage on serene and wild Weaver Lake. The property consists of two adjoining lots, one 39 acres, the other (block 3.200) is 16.8 acres. There is an old apple orchard on the property, that given a few of years of TLC, should be producing beautifully again. Wildlife abounds. The site is of cultural significance to the Mohawk Nation and was relevant in the Revolutionary and Civil wars. You may even find fossils near the lake. There are a considerable amount of wild wetlands on the property that border the Maumee Swamp area and Weaver Lake. On the property are two cabins, hand built by the previous owner, b oth currently uninhabitable and sold as-is. There is a small shed next to one of the cabins as well as an outhouse, also of unknown work-ability. A drumlin runs through the property affording higher ground and beautiful views down Weaver Lake as well as the surrounding countryside. The private access road from the property entrance on US 20 to the clearing on Weaver Lake which runs along the west side of the property is almost 3/4 of a mile long, ending at your clearing on Weaver Lake. This is absolute privacy and serenity while being only 9.1 miles from historic Cooperstown Village, easily accessible from the NYS Thruway, approximately one mile from the single strip Richfield Springs Airport, and only three and half hours drive to NYC. SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick College are about a thirty minute drive. This is a property so beautifully wild and serene it is forever protected under an agreement with The Otsego Land Trust. (The former owner retained the right to build one habitable structure with outbuildings.) Whether you are looking for a quiet place to finally write your novel or to paint, bird-watch, canoe or kayak, fish or hunt, this property is your plac
