About This Property
Rare opportunity to own a large, former Scout Camp with a 60+/-
lake, with extensive infrastructure surrounded by pristine
woodlands, and bordering an additional 423 acres of NYS Forest with
1.5 miles of water frontage on the Susquehanna River, all within 12
miles to the world renowned Cooperstown. There are many
possible options for this property: new camp operation,
private estate, corporate retreat, restaurant/spa, and/or
development of vacation or year round homes in an outstanding
natural setting. Along with an extensive camp facility
infrastructure, including dozens of buildings and accessory
structures, the highlight of this property is the newly constructed
10,000 square foot Dining Hall, seats 290 guests, offices,
commercial kitchen and overlooks Crumhorn Lake. There are
numerous sleeping facilities as well as other ancillary buildings
and activity areas comprising the bulk of the rest of the campus,
which combined can currently accommodate 525 overnight guests.
In addition to the 60+ acre, stocked Crumhorn Lake,
which provides boating, fishing and swimming activities, there are
6.2 miles of groomed trails providing extensive access throughout
the property for hiking or ATVs for viewing nature and enjoying the
pristine natural setting. This property offers a significant
timber resource, with only a very limited harvest last taken
in 2017, there are approximately 525 acres of a mix of hardwoods
(mostly oak, then maple, cherry, beech) along with white pine and
hemlock, with both mature trees as well as future timber income
potential. The property also borders the Susquehanna State
Forest providing an additional 423 acres with access to ~1.5 miles
of frontage on the Susquehanna River - offering additional hunting,
hiking, boating and fishing opportunities. In addition, there
is an existing cell tower that is leased on the property, in year 2
of a 5 year self-renewing lease, which provides an annual income of
$47-$48,000. Steeped in history and legend of the
Leatherstocking Region and James Fenimore Cooper, the property is
located only 12 miles from Cooperstown, with its many attractions,
restaurants, championship golf course and major tourist
destinations, including the National Baseball Hall of Fame,
Fenimore Art Museum, NYS Historical Society, Glimmerglass Theater,
NYS Farmer's Museum and Omegang Brewery. The property also
benefits from 2.6 miles of road frontage, well drained terrain, and
multiple access points which enhances the future development
potential of the property, particularly around the central, more
level part of the property. While located in a private area
tucked away on top of a hilltop, there is easy driving access to
the property from Interstate 88, just 7.8 miles from exit 18 coming
from Albany or 8 miles from exit 17 in Colliersville coming from
Binghamton. Amenities are close by with Milford less
than five miles away, and Oneonta within a half hour.
Accessible from NYC/George Washington Bridge with a 3 hour
and 20 minute drive.
