A Fly Creek Farmhouse — Seven Decades in One Family, Now Ready for theNext

Some properties carry a feeling the moment you turn down the road. This c.1840 vernacular farmhouse on Hoke Road in Fly Creek is one of them — attentively cared for by the same family for over 70 years, sited on ±6.981 surveyed acres of rolling Otsego County countryside, with valley views that remind you exactly why people fall in love with this part of upstate New York. The farmhouse itself offers ±1,952 square feet of comfortable, well-proportioned space across two full floors. On the main level: a generous eat-in kitchen with tin ceiling, abundant cabinetry, and an adjacent mudroom-laundry that handles everything a working country house demands — plus a living room, dining room, a first-floor bedroom, full bath, and a handsome foyer. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms and a full bath provide room for family, guests, and the unhurried rhythms of rural life. A covered porch wraps the front, looking out over perennial gardens, stone walls, and those long valley views.

The ±6.981 acres offer the kind of privacy that simply doesn’t exist at smaller scales. Minutes from Cooperstown — the Glimmerglass Festival, Otsego Golf Course, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Fenimore Art Museum, The Farmers’ Museum, Clark Sports Center, the Otesaga Resort Hotel, Leatherstocking Golf Course, and Brewery Ommegang are all close at hand. This is the Cooperstown area at its most honest and unhurried: a real sense of place.
