The hamlet of Fly Creek in Otsego County, New York (settled around 1789) grew from a frontier mill settlement into a preserved 19th-century rural village. Located just four miles to the center of the historic village of Cooperstown, this hamlet offers the subtle country life. Walk to the corner Fly Creek General Store, the Fly Creek Post Office and the Fly Creek Cider Mill. The name Fly Creek is Dutch in origin, named by the first Dutch traders who passed through the area. Harnessing the power of fast-moving creeks, eight mills were built in Fly Creek in the 19th century. The last of these is the Fly Creek Cider Mill, a 161-year-old water powered mill that is still open to visitors today. Relax Creekside with a fire pit for late afternoon fishing and reading. This three (3+) plus acre parcel is ready for your forever home or summer/weekend retreat. Recent conservation efforts by the Otsego Land Trust have protected over 120 acres of surrounding wetlands, forest, and farmland within the watershed. Otsego County offers a multitude of diverse activities all year-round. The summer season boasts the world-renowned Glimmerglass Opera Festival, lakeside dining, water sports, biking and golf. Year-round the community stays active with an array of unique shops, globally recognized museums, galleries, hiking, snow shoeing, cross-country skiing and regional and global restaurant choices. This property is in the Cooperstown Central School district and serves approximately 775/785 students across its schools with a student-teacher ration of 12:1/13:1. The school is ranked #156 in New York State (top 12%) by U.S. News & World Report. The village of Cooperstown sits on the southern end of Otsego Lake, nine miles long and the mouth of the Susquehanna River which travels south to the Chesapeake Bay. Fly Creek is a charming, sweet and welcoming rural community. Feel free to contact our office to walk the property and for more information.
