118 Gavin Lane, Lot #WP001, Norwich, NY 13815 - Chenango County

Income opportunities abound with this farm property featuring 50 acres of agricultural land, 5 bedrooms, 2 bath farmhouse with attached 1 car garage, two mobile homes, and large two-story barn in good condition.  The main farmhouse is quaint with its retro-style, currently occupied by a long-term renter with an excellent payment history. The house also includes a separate 1 bedroom efficiency with private entrance which could be rented as well. In addition, there are two mobile homes: 3 Beds, 2 baths double wide with back deck; and a 3 bed, 1 bath single wide.  There is also a 3 car detached garage with concrete floor and electric, all situated well set off the main road, down its own private lane (Galvin Lane). The farmland is mainly level and easily worked, with ~50 acres of tillable land, former hay fields, some planted to timothy and clover now - which serve as large food plots for attracting the local whitetail deer.  With a 40’x30’ gambrel roof, the two-story dairy barn is in solid shape. It connects to an additional 82’ long x 36’wide pole barn, offering many potential uses for livestock, horses, storage, or workshop/home business. There are two ponds on the property, and a stream cuts through the back acreage with springs providing ample water supply to wildlife or livestock and swimming and fishing in the ponds. There is a mix of hardwoods, largely maple and cherry, providing future timber opportunities as well as hemlock, red and white pine. Deer runs were prevalent through the property, and several nice buck rubs were noted. Based on the diversity of the property, including ag fields, woods, brush for cover, multiple water sources with ponds and streams, this property supports a diverse wildlife population, including wild turkey, grouse, and other small game. Multiple fishing, hunting, hiking, and year-round nature enjoyment are available very close by with Chenango Lake, 133 acres of water, and an informal public access hand launch, where you can fish for bass, pickerel, and the annually stocked tiger musky. Ambler State Forest is only 5 miles from this property and offers 629 additional acres for hunting, hiking & camping. While this property is nicely set well back off the road, amenities and shopping are available only 4 miles away in Norwich, and Oneonta is less than 40 minutes. Within an hour, you can be in Binghamton or Cooperstown (Baseball Hall of Fame, Museums, Restaurants), and it's located only 3 hours from NYC/George Washington Bridge. This property has a lot to offer the new owner: a new home or vacation/hunting getaway with great hunting, farming, and additional income opportunities.
