You can have it all! Zoned Residential with Commercial Use, imagine living on the corner of a quiet village and actually being on a road busy enough to take you to a small college city in just 6 miles. Living in a historical home on just over 13 acres with 3 fenced fields, two ponds to be enjoyed or stocked with fish, a well maintained small outbuilding as well as a large fenced in backyard has many opportunities for lifestyle. The two-story barn is suitable for many types of animals. There is enough property for animals and farming, plants, etc., including a nice walkway in the small wooded area where the wildlife passes through. Originally a stagecoach stop and tavern, The Bundy House, originally built c. 1790 by American Revolutionary War soldier and early settler of Otsego County, Peter Bundy. Lovingly maintained and used as a private residence in recent years, this 4 bedroom, 2 bath home retains many of its original architectural features, including the 2nd-floor tavern ballroom with its unique barrel-vaulted ceiling. Tavern ballrooms were multipurpose, flexible spaces and often were the most elegant room in an establishment, hosting balls, concerts, town meetings and other large gatherings. The fact that this ballroom survived to this day makes this property very special. Other beautiful original features include wainscoting, interior trim, plank flooring, front door with transom fanlight window & sidelights, exterior dentil moulding and fluted pilasters. There are multiple use rooms on the first floor for living or sitting rooms, bedrooms, a dining room, full bathroom and nicely sized separate kitchen area, which leads out to a one-car attached garage. Accessed by its own separate stairwell, the ballroom upstairs was used by the current owners as a huge master suite, with its own full bathroom. There are ample storage areas on the second floor as well and hookups for laundry and bathtub, should the new owners want to use this space for AirBnB or similar rental. The house also features a newer roof and furnace as well as being recently painted. Outside, off the lovely enclosed sunroom/porch, there are beautiful flower gardens adorning the landscaping and a patio beneath shade trees for enjoying summer days. For those interested in horses or raising livestock, there are multiple stalls in the basement and two-story hayloft and equipment storage above in the well-maintained c. 1850 large barn, which could alternatively be used as a spacious workshop. There is water and electricity in this barn as well. Several fenced paddocks are already in place for small farm usage, as well as (2) ponds located on the property. The current owners used the barns and pastures for llamas, donkeys, mini-horses, and poultry. There is a second smaller barn building, also built-in 1850, which is also in great shape and could be used for a number of possibilities, including a writer’s retreat, art studio, a gardener’s shed, small livestock or possibly rent it out as a unique camping experience. With over 13 acres +/-, there are so many options for the new owner between your own private small farm estate, vacation getaway in historic Otsego County, and/or earn additional income through rentals for special events using the unique Tavern ballroom, barns and grounds, and/or AirBnb business. The property is located on the edge of the historic, quaint Village of Otego and with Oneonta only 7 miles away and Cooperstown just over a half-hour, a host of amenities, shopping and entertainment are available closeby, including the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Cooperstown Dreams Park, Cooperstown All Star Village, as well as hospitals, area colleges, and cultural attractions like the Fenimore Art Museum, Farmers Museum, Brewery Ommegang, and Glimmerglass Theatre.
