West Cotter Road In The Town Of Brasher, New York

A friend was searching the internet for small farms for sale, so I did a quick internet search for this area. I learned of a 17 acre farm in the nearby town of Brasher and I had free time, so - why not? I drove to West Cotter Road to take a look, turning it into a driving tour at the same time. This road was surrounded by Brasher State Forest and most of the homes were set back into the trees:

The homes tended to be smaller and spaced far apart, always set back into the forest:

And then, up ahead, I saw the barns of the home which was for sale. They certainly were impressive:

This was the home. It, the complex of barns and 17 acres were for sale for $89,000. Here's the website address, assuming it hasn't sold by the time you read this:

I continued driving, and found West Cotter to be an entirely pleasant, scenic road:

The road roughly follows the Deer River and, pretty soon, the river meandered right up alongside the road. It was quite pretty:

The houses became smaller and closer together along the river's edge:

In fact, I think they were not year 'round homes but vacation cottages, though one can never tell. They may have been a mixture of both:

But there were other homes on the road:

There were no other farms or farm fields along West Cotter Road, though there were more homes:

I passed by another stretch of the Deer River:

West Cotter Road is a dead end, though it branches at the end into two smaller, dead end roads. The other two roads were too short and had too few homes for a blog post, so I turned around and drove back to the county road where I'd begun. There was an East Cotter Road on the other side of the county road, but it turned out to be only two tire tracks through the forest:
