A Rare Cooperstown Estate Offering Privacy, Character & Timeless Beauty Stunning location, privacy, and serenity just minutes from the historic village of Cooperstown. Set on more than 32 picturesque acres, this exceptional pastoral property offers a remarkable collection of residences, gathering spaces, outbuildings, mature gardens, and beautifully landscaped grounds-creating a private country retreat unlike any other. Sweeping lawns, mature gardens, stone walkways, perennial plantings, and a tranquil pond surround the main residence and enhance the property's natural beauty. The main house is filled with character and warmth, featuring wide pine floors throughout and a charming open entrance foyer with coat closet. The foyer leads to a spacious, vaulted living room with fireplace and French doors opening to a flagstone terrace overlooking the pond. To the south of the foyer, the bright and welcoming kitchen and dining area enjoys abundant natural light and a Dutch door opening to the side porch. A convenient secondary entrance provides easy access for groceries, market baskets, and deliveries. The well-appointed kitchen includes a built-in desk, beverage center, warming drawer, microwave/convection oven, convection oven, refrigerator/freezer, deep porcelain sink, Corian countertops, and an expansive island, all complemented by commercial cork flooring. The kitchen flows naturally into the dining area and adjoining family room/study, where built-ins and a period bay window add charm and architectural interest. A full bath completes the first floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom, guest bedroom, and full bath offer a comfortable private retreat. The bath features a deep soaking tub, separate shower, wainscoting, and pedestal sink. The private Guest Cottage, dating to the 1960s, provides a wonderful additional living space with wide pine floors throughout. Inviting and spacious, it offers a living room with fireplace, kitchen, full bath, and bedroom-ideal for guests, extended family, or a private retreat. For entertaining, the Entertainment Barn is an especially charming and versatile gathering space. Open and spacious, it is perfectly suited for family celebrations, casual gatherings, and special occasions. A large side entrance porch, recently renovated with manufactured decking, extends the living and entertaining space outdoors. The Parking Barn, positioned east of the large gravel driveway, provides additional parking, storage, and workshop space. At the northeast end of the property, a substantial pole barn of more than 1,500 square feet offers additional room for utility vehicles, equipment, storage, and more. Adding an intriguing layer to this property's history, the estate was once owned by Hannah Lee Stokes, widow of New York State Senator Walter W. Stokes. A longtime Cooperstown presence, Hannah Lee was known for her philanthropy and distinctive spirit. She was a remarkable woman who lived life on her own terms and was, at one time, Miss Chesterfield. A rare combination of history, privacy, natural beauty, versatile spaces, and proximity to Cooperstown, this extraordinary 32+ acre property offers an exceptional opportunity to create a legacy estate in one of the region's most cherished settings.
