About this property
Set along a quiet country road in Schoharie County, this 29.28± acre property offers an uncommon combination of productive agricultural ground, wooded acreage, an existing country home, and established farm infrastructure. Located at 812 Gardnersville Road near Cobleskill, the property provides approximately 1,150± feet of road frontage and a diverse landscape suited for agricultural, homestead, recreational, and rural residential uses. Approximately 16.5± acres consist of tillable and open agricultural ground, with mapped soils consisting predominantly of Mohawk and Lima silt loams along with areas of Mohawk and Honeoye soils. The open acreage provides an established foundation for continued agricultural production, hay ground, pasture, gardens, or other uses appropriate to the property and subject to applicable regulations. Another approximately 10.5± acres are wooded, creating a natural transition from the working portions of the property into additional recreational and wildlife habitat. A 475± foot gravel driveway leads from Gardnersville Road into the property, providing privacy and separation from the road. The gently rolling to mostly level terrain offers attractive country views across the surrounding agricultural landscape. Whitetail deer have been observed on the property, while the combination of open ground, wooded cover, field edges, and brush-hogged paths provides additional opportunities for wildlife observation and recreation. At the center of the property is a rustic four-bedroom country home offering approximately 1,920 square feet of living space. Built in 2018, the home provides a simple rural living setup and currently does not have electrical wiring within the residence. However, 200-amp electrical service has been brought onto the property, providing infrastructure for future improvements. A stovepipe installation also provides the setup for future wood-burning heat. Buyers should independently evaluate the residence, utilities, and any desired upgrades based upon their intended use. The property also includes multiple barns, sheds and agricultural outbuildings, storage-container space, hay storage, workshop areas, and two greenhouses. Together with the existing driveway, electrical service, agricultural acreage, and established open ground, these improvements provide a substantial starting point for continued agricultural or homestead use. The property's location adds another dimension to the offering. Cobleskill, Schoharie and Middleburgh are all within convenient reach, while access to NY-145 and Interstate 88 connects the property with the greater Capital Region. Albany is approximately an hour from the Cobleskill area. Area Attractions Outdoor recreation is abundant throughout Schoharie County. Nearby public lands include Honey Hill State Forest, Lutheranville State Forest, Stone Store State Forest and numerous additional state forests. DEC records identify Honey Hill at approximately 1,044 acres, Lutheranville at approximately 1,809 acres and Stone Store at approximately 734 acres. Schoharie Creek provides additional fishing and outdoor recreation opportunities, while Cobleskill Golf & Country Club offers an 18-hole course that has operated since 1929. With nearly 30 acres, substantial road frontage, productive open ground, woods, an existing residence, greenhouses, barns and agricultural infrastructure already in place, this property offers an opportunity to continue shaping an established Schoharie County homestead around the land and its many potential uses.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
