introducing aspen hills farm

superb location just 20 miles from oneonta & 30 miles from Cooperstown

We obtained this farm when it was liquidated to settle an estate which is why we can offer prices this low.  In fact, we haven’t been able to offer land of this caliber at these amazingly low prices in decades!! Quality, buildable land is very scarce in the market right now.  The properties at Aspen Hill farm are priced 11% LOWER than other similar properties in the area which may have to surveyed, title searched and tested by a professional engineer to ensure they are buildable.  All this could potentially cost you thousands of dollars.   All of those things are included with your purchase of one of our properties.  SPECIAL FINANCING IS EVEN AVAILABLE ON THESE PROPERTIES!  That’s almost impossible to find on unimproved land.

About this region of New York: These parcels are located in Central New York in an area traditionally known as the “Leatherstocking Region” named after the deer skin leggings worn by the frontiersmen who explored this area hundreds of years ago and who James Fenimore Cooper made famous in his writings.

The closest community is Gilbertville, a tiny village known for its early American architecture, horse farms and specialty shops.  In 1983, the entire Village of Gilbertsville was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

The vibrant college town of Oneonta, home to Hartwick College and the State University of New York, is a short drive away where you’ll find shopping, great dining, entertainment as well as hospitals and other services.

The Village of Cooperstown, “America’s Most Perfect Village”, is home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, art galleries, farm markets, quaint shops and of course Otsego Lake where you’ll find state parks, swimming, boating, fishing etc.

A popular body of water, the Butternut Creek, flows through the valley just a couple of miles away from the farm and provides fishermen a chance to catch Brown Trout.  This is also a great place to canoe, kayak and tube. The Unadilla River. is also a short drive west and offers fishing for Brown Trout in the upper reaches and smallmouth bass in the lower portion of the river.  There are numerous parking areas all along the river for launching your canoe or kayak.

Options For

Financing Your Land

Financing for raw, unimproved land is very difficult to obtain through conventional means.  Most banks don’t even offer a land loan program and those that do typically require at least 1/3 down and charge high fees, points, and other charges, and closings take months to occur.  New York Land & Lakes offers “In-House” financing that is very easy and affordable and there are NO application fees, appraisal charges or pre-payment penalties!

Cash

By paying cash, you will save on interest and closing costs.

Home Equity Loan

Many of our customers use the equity they already have in their homes to borrow against to pay for their land purchase.  It’s generally a loan at a much lower interest rate and the interest can be written off.

Conventional Bank Loan

Local banks can sometimes write land loans, but they typically charge many fees and take a long time to close.

Buying with an IRA (Individual Retirement Account)

Many don’t know this, but real estate can be purchased with IRA funds without paying penalties and deferring taxes on the gains.

Borrowing Against a 401k

You may be able to borrow against your 401K.
