Description

A reimagined 1880s toll booth on 55+ private acres with stream frontage, wooded trails, and rolling Mohawk Valley views -- where one-of-a-kind character meets serious land, at a fraction of Hudson Valley prices.

Evermore Glen is a rare pairing: a cottage with a story you won't find anywhere else, set on over 55 acres of diverse, usable land. The home began its life as the local toll booth in 1880 and has been thoughtfully reimagined into an intimate, character-rich retreat, the kind of place that feels like it was always meant to be here, tucked into this hillside along a sparkling stream.

Inside, every detail has soul. Original wide-plank floors carry the patina of nearly 150 years. A fireplace that anchors the main living space. The primary bedroom's vaulted ceiling and exposed beams open the room skyward, while the second floor offers a storybook sitting area perfect for reading, writing, or working remotely. Thoughtful updates in 2007 added modern comfort without disturbing the character -- this is a home that wraps around you.

Then step outside and the scale shifts entirely. Over 55 acres of rolling meadow, mature hardwood forest, ATV and hiking trails, and a stream winding through the property give you room to roam, hunt, fish, snowshoe, or simply breathe. The land invites endless possibility -- agriculture, timber, hunting, a future second structure, or simply the peace of knowing it's all yours. And the toll booth cottage gives you a truly unique home from day one.

Just a short drive from historic Cooperstown, the Baseball Hall of Fame, Otsego Lake, and the shops, dining, and cultural attractions of the Mohawk Valley. The perfect marriage of acreage and a home unlike any other.
