Forty-three acres on the Susquehanna River in Otego-Unadilla, NY, with 3,000 feet of river frontage and a layout built for a small farm, hobby farm, or private retreat. The land breaks into distinct zones: a 3-acre house lot with groomed lawn, a 6-acre “pond meadow” with its own half-acre pond, 14 acres of woods and trails, and a 22-acre lower meadow running to the riverbank. The river meadow sits within the floodway and isn't buildable, which has kept it wild and open for grazing, hay, or fishing access. The infrastructure for working the land is already here. A 40x60 three-bay pole barn with a concrete floor and roll-up doors anchors the outbuildings, with a 12-foot center door and two 7-foot side doors. A heated 25x12 Amish shed currently serves as an office and could easily convert to a farm store or seasonal stand, with frontage on Covered Bridge Road. Three additional garden sheds provide further storage. The home is a 25x60 2016 double-wide with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a primary suite with private ensuite bath. The kitchen and dining area, over 500 square feet, is warmed by a wood-burning stove and opens to the rear deck. Baseboard electric and propane forced-air heat, plus a detached three-bay metal garage with roll-up doors, its own wood stove, and extra storage. Located in the Otego-Unadilla Central School District, in a private, rural setting with the Susquehanna River as a constant, quiet presence at the edge of the land. For anyone picturing a small farm, a retreat, or simply more land than they've ever had, this is ground worth walking.
