COMMERCIAL HORSE FARM WITH BEAUTIFUL ARENA:
Fantastic arena on this horse farm. Just 5 years old, the
arena is like new in every
way. It measures 72x198 and has 19 side walls, is well lit,
with good footing and tapered lower walls so your horse cannot
brush you off against the wall. A 2 story wing is 36x48,
is heated, and has its own bathroom and 5 12x12 box stalls
with rubber floors, a wash stall, tack area. Upstairs is a
lookout onto the arena. This area is insulated and heated
and could be finished off into living space, an office or
game room. The home, built in the early 1800s, was a parsonage
in years gone by and is in nice condition. Downstairs is a
double living room, formal dining room (with mock fireplace),
country kitchen, den, sun porch, and a 2 car garage (new roof).
All floors are hardwood. Upstairs are 2 very large bedrooms
and a large hall. At one
time in the past, each bedroom must have been divided into
two smaller bedrooms. Heat is a new oil hot air furnace and
also wood (see below).There is also a 2 story storage shed
(20x25). There are 11.6+ acres here, all flat open land,
all with fine views, and is in an area with one beautiful
operating farm right after another along the road. Taxes are
absurdly low at $1200 (the arena is still exempt, but they
get no Star as their daughter occupies the home - this is
a Town known for low taxes) and the price $350000.
Also available is significantly more land, priced at $3500/acre,
choose what you want, and useable for hay, pasture or trail
riding. A second home, also in
nice condition, and on a double lot, is available for an additional
$100000. This is somewhat private and once was a schoolhouse,
though you would never guess it today. It has a 2 car attached
garage, a den, bathroom, kitchen, living room with a sun porch,
one bedroom and a finished storage room downstairs. Upstairs
is a large unfinished attic which could easily accommodate
3 bedrooms. It has a new roof, paved drive, and oil hot air
heat. A large deck off the back connects to an above-ground
swimming pool. It is nicely landscaped. The last thing that
is available are 30 horses. They will be sold individually
and priced attractively.
This farm is offered by a family who is retiring from the
horse business due to ill
health and the untimely death of a family member. They will
continue their other farming ventures and are retaining some
buildings and additional land to do this. If it were important
enough to a buyer, they could sell their beautiful Federal
brick home and the other barns and land (including a camp
on a large lake) that they prefer to retain. Let me explain
further: this is a family compound and is comprised of numerous
tax parcels which adjoin. The buildings share a few
services: an outside wood furnace heats the horse farm home,
the horse barn and the owners home. A drilled well is on
the property being sold, but also services other farm buildings.
A spring on property being retained services, among other
buildings, The horse farm home. We will need to do a bit of
good will give and take so all parties are satisfied. Fortunately,
the owners are great folks and are willing to listen to creative
suggestions. The homes are fairly far apart so neither party
will feel like anyone is close upon them and the land across
the street is also owned by the main farm.

HERKIMER COUNTY STOCKED AND EQUIPPED CATTLE AND CROP
FARM: Step right
in here and get down to business. This 159 acre farm comes
fully stocked and equipped with 57 head of mostly Angus and
Angus X beef cattle, a Belgian mare and her filly foal (maybe
even the dogs) and a very extensive line of mostly newer equipment
ready to go to work. There are 104
tillable acres here of mostly high lime Honeoye and Lima silt
loam soils, 10 acres of woods and the remainder in well fenced
pasture. There is also a year round stream and 3 ponds
to water your stock. As an added bonus there is a lifetime
rent free lease for the adjoining 450 acre farm owned by a
downstate hunting club with another 145 tillable acres.
That makes a total of 250 tillable acres available here. There
is a natural gas lease and a meteorlogical tower lease that
will go with the farm. The home is an 8 room 25 year old raised
ranch in very nice condition. The main floor has an eat-in kitchen,
living room, 2 bedrooms, office and bath and it sells completely
applianced and furnished. The finished
basement was once a separate apartment with an entry
hall, kitchen/living room, bedroom and 3/4 bath. There is
also a stand up attic, a garage below, a large rear
deck overlooking the fields, aluminum siding, new thermopane
windows, a new oil hot water furnace and another wood furnace, a
200 amp electric service, a never ending artesian well water
supply, 750 gal fiberglass septic and generator
hookup. There is a modular pad just below the house with it's
own electric hookup and septic in place should you wish to
make use of it. The 40'x 110' former dairy barn with full
overhead hay storage has had the stalls removed to make it
more suitable to run beef cattle but the Patz barn cleaner
remains along with
a 14'x40' concrete stave silo with an unloader. The barn is
soon to have a complete rehab by the noted Woodford Brothers
firm. There is a new 48'x80' enclosed steel pole machinery
barn with a 25'x80' attached leanto and another 30'x40' steel
pole stock barn with 2 box stalls. The very extensive
line of mostly later model tillage, planting, harvesting (including
2 combines) and hauling equipment included is way too
long to get into here but will be provided upon request. All
tools and miscellaneous equipment needed around a farm (and he
has just about everything) are also included along
with all crops growing and in storage at the time of sale.
Note: The owner is interested only in a package deal.
Total taxes are $4647 with the star program and the package
price is a firm $795,000.

12381 SPANKING NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART
LIVESTOCK AUCTION COMPLEX: Rare opportunity
here to own one of the largest and best known livestock markets
in the entire northeast. Welch's Livestock Market (founded 
1960) built this over 18,000 square foot auction
complex to replace the original barn lost to a devastating
fire in 2004. The auction area alone is 72'x90' with an 18'
ceiling, the pen area is 81'x81'x12' and the milking barn
is 42'x81'x12' all with more than adequate loading docks and
Toledo scales. There is also another 20'x80' cattle shed.
In addition to the livestock facilities there are two fully
equipped offices with all new computer  systems,
a lounge area, 2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen
and cafeteria all fully insulated, air conditioned and
heated. It has propane heat, a 400 amp electric service and
a propane powered backup electric generator. All this
on 55 rolling acres consisting of 26 acres of cropland and
29 of pasture. The town has shown interest in purchasing a
gravel pit on the property. Due to it's clear span construction
the complex could easily be converted for any number
of warehouse or manufacturing enterprises, even a horse stable
and indoor riding arena. It is centrally located at West Edmeston
on State Route 8 with easy access to both Interstate 88 and
90. Total taxes are $8827 and the retiring owners have substantially
reduced the asking price to $500,000.

has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and a beautiful kitchen. There
is also a 24x48 mobile home with 3 bedrooms that has been
used only 4 years. This is a good opportunity for a dairyman
to set up a modern free stall operation just the way they
want it. The farm is in a nice area with good schools. Asking
$785,000

If
you wish to buy with less land, here is a breakdown, based
upon the various tax parcels which comprised the farm:
123
acres with home farm - $495000. Has nearly all the buildings,
6500' of frontage, 55 tillable plus lots of fenced pasture.
7.9
acres, former railroad bed (would make an excellent trail).
Too narrow for building. A stream crosses it - $15800
31.7
acres with 15 tillable, 925' of frontage on Rte 5 and it has
a deep gravel bed, partly developed. A stream crosses it -
$63400
47.2
acres with 44 tillable and 1000' of frontage, and has fine
views overlooking the valley. This is high quality land, with
much tiling done as well as hedge-row removal - - $94400
66
acres with 50 tillable, the remainder wooded, and 1230' of
frontage. You will gasp at the views here. This is high quality
land, with much tiling done as well as hedge-row removal -
$180000.
95.3
acres with 61 tillable, and a 40x80' freestall for heifers
plus a large silo, an occupied trailer and a 40x80' machinery
barn. There are some small streams and a large pasture area,
interspersed with woods. $190600
106.4
acres with 82 tillable and 3600' of frontage. The tillable
land figure is partly inflated because a power line crosses
the land and the land underneath it is used by the owner as
if it were his. The remainder of the land is pasture
which surrounds a stream. This is high quality land, with
much tiling done as well as hedge-row removal $212800
144
acres, with 107 tillable and 4600' of frontage. It is in 2
parts, quite close, connected by a right of way. 2 streams
traverse it. This is high quality land, with much tiling done
as well as hedge-row removal. $288400

239 acres, 200 of which are tillable.

FREE STALL FARM WITH VIEWS NOW RUNNING
BEEF: Beef farm with views and what will be
a great home. This has 155 acres, of which 70-80 are tillable
and another 20-30 are pasture, the remainder being wooded.
It is in 2 parcels (118 acres on the home place and 47 acres
nearby) and has a large amount of road frontage on each one.
There are southern views from everywhere,
several streams, one pond, and a couple of good pond sites
for others if someone desires more. The home will require
some explanation. The original part is about 200 years old,
as evidenced by the hand-hewn beams and pegged post and beam
construction. From the outside, it looks fairly new and has
log siding, with a very large addition (20x30' - 2 stories)
with 8 dormers and spacious wraparound porches, positioned
to take advantage of the views. The home has 3400 square feet
of living space, 10 rooms, 5 bedrooms and 2 full baths. There
are 2 oil hot air furnaces, a newer one and a much older old
one which they do not use any longer, but was left in place
as a backup. There are also 2 wood stoves (which will stay
with the property) and a massive stone fireplace. Water is
from an excellent spring. The chimney has 4 flues. Downstairs,
there is a large living room with a new entranceway added
to it. To one side is a large study and, going straight, is
the dining room, which is 16x20'. It has knotty pine paneling
and will have a new hardwood floor. It also serves as sort
of a hub room. All these rooms have the hand-hewn beams exposed.
To the right, off the dining room, is a completely new kitchen,
which has a door opening to one of the
porches for easy barbecuing. It has cathedral ceilings with
pine paneling and whole tree rafters exposed. The cabinets
were custom made by Amish craftsmen and they have granite
countertops. The appliances here are new and they stay with
the property. The floor is ceramic tile and it has track lighting.
Off the other side of the dining room is a large bath, which
has ceramic tile floors. A separate tiny room in the bath
houses the toilet. Next to it, also coming off the dining
room is a large laundry (new appliances, which stay). A child's
play loft is above this. Beyond the laundry is a large mud
room, with a coat closet. Both these rooms have pine wall
paneling and ceilings. Beyond the dining room is the 20x30'
Great Room. Again, there are wood floors, walls and ceilings
with whole tree joists exposed. Floors here are oak. This
is where the fireplace is located. Windows are strategically
placed to take advantage of the views. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms.
Four of these are (or will be) normal-sized. A hall is planned
that will make the largest smaller. There is planned another
full bath and more closet space in part of this space. Though
this future hallway, you come to the master bedroom, which
has its own separate full bath, with Jacuzzi tub, 2 walk-in
closets. This room measures 20x30', has whole tree rafters
exposed and pine paneled walls and ceilings with a wood floor.
The main barn is 30 years old, or pole construction and measures
45x90' or more. It could house 60 cows easily, though there
are only freestalls for 24 in there now. It was originally
a dairy barn and the BouMatic pipeline (services a 6 stall
flat parlour) and 1000g bulk tank are still there and could
be reused. This barn is clear-span and could also be used
as a riding arena. There is also a 31x40' carriage house and
it has very high ceilings and would make an excellent 6 box
stall horse barn. There is room in it for a small apartment
as well + it has hay storage overhead. Done right, this could
be a very attractive building. $375,000
OK,
I have been telling you the good stuff. Now some disclaimers:
do not expect to see this property in a pristine state. There
are WAY too many possessions there - and they are everywhere.
The owners are moving their operation to a western state and
have been paring down on what they own, but there is a very
long way to go. The outside has old machinery parked everywhere.
There is just stuff everywhere you turn. You will have to
look beyond this to realize just how nice this property can
be. If you can't imagine it with everything gone, you need
to wait to see it until after this has happened - if it lasts
that long on the market. Another thing - not all the work
has been done. One half of the study needs finishing, the
dining room floor needs to be installed, and some general
sprucing up and finish work is needed in the older rooms.
There are a number of these small projects that are unfinished
and the owner will work on them, as well as the cleanup, as
time allows.
The
following machinery is available to purchase with the property;
otherwise he will schedule an auction before the closing and
it will disappear then: JD 4020 with cab, JD 2010 with rebuilt
engine (still at the shop), David Brown 1200 with somewhat
older rebuilt engine, JD 440 track loader (new track and clutch),
3 NH 1469 self-propelled haybines, JD 480 haybine, 2 IH 47
balers with kickers, Kuhn tedder, 2 JD 115 forage wagons,
NH forage wagon, 4-5 hay wagons with kicker racks, 3 bottom
plows, disc, drags, old IH corn planter, 2 NH 329 manure spreaders,
NH 69 flail chopper, post hole digger, back blade, finish
mower, bush hog.

1800 ACRE DAIRY FOR 750 HEAD: Seldom does such a
large well-run and well-kept farm come on the market. This
is one that has stayed in the family for 135 years and it
has 1800 acres. 1000 of them are tillable! This is mostly
sandy loam soil, with some gravely loams and a small bit of
clay loams. It has all been tile drained and ditched as needed
and is growing wonderful crops. I was first there in the 3rd
week of August and found alfalfa to my knees - 4th cutting!
A very low elevation allows a much longer growing season that
would be expected (the farm is located in Clinton County ,
near the border with Lake Champlain and Canada ). Parts of
it border on I 87, the Great Chazy River (and many smaller
streams) and also the famed Miner Institute. Village water
does not quite reach the farm but 3 phase power does. The
owners have 750 head here, raise HMSC and do not rent any
land! Fields are huge, and nearly level. There may not be
a more productive land base for sale anywhere in the state
than this one. 135 years in the same family certainly shows.
All barns are Morton buildings and are new since 1988 and
they sport 3 year old roofs. This is an exceptionally well
thought out and efficient setup. It is also extraordinarily
clean - you just do not find messes anywhere. Even the machinery
is washed and waxed regularly. The pride the owners take in
their enterprise shows throughout. No muddy areas, neat drives
with no potholes, manicured lawns, and flowering plums and
blue spruce are strategically placed for landscaping effectiveness.
Everything is in excellent condition - land, buildings, home,
cattle and machinery. This is a place in which no one ever
has to go outside during inclement weather. The main barn
is 102x350 and has 400 freestalls, with mattresses and automatic
alley scrapers which feed into a 26x102' Slurrystore which
has 7 months capacity for the entire herd. The BouMatic parlour
is a double 12, fully updated, and the bulk tank is a 3200
gallon Surge with a tube cooler. The water supply is more
than ample and comes from 3 drilled wells. There is a 305
hp Onan generator which self starts and is big enough to run
the entire farm in a normal fashion (and it has cheap 3 phase
power, too). There is an employee room with with toilet and
shower as well. Feeding is fully automated and comes from
9 Harvestore silos (2-25x90, 2 - 20x90, 5 - 20x80). It is
mixed in a custom-made 15 ton TMR mixer,l which has 1 thick
side walls. There is a separate feed office and there is also
a hospital pen. All heifers are housed in 2 adjoining buildings.
Their feed and manure is handled identically to that of the
cows and they also have mattresses and alley scrapers. The
calf and yearling barn is 80x100' and has 70 single pens,
4 group pens, and 120 freestalls. the pens area has a separate
barn clean to handle the manure. Manure from all the heifers
ends up via huge ram pumps in the Slurrystore, along with
that of the milkers. The older heifer barn is also 80x100'
and has 175 freestalls. There are various large bedding and
utility rooms in these barns and the square footage is much
higher than the figures given because of connecting rooms
and causeways. It is possible to walk on a catwalk above the
cows and heifers to unobtrusively observe the entire herd
without getting your feed dirty. There are 2 machinery sheds:
one is
40x150 and houses machinery and dry hay. The other is 40x120'
and has the farm shop area as well as more machinery housing.
There is a large permanent liquid nitrogen tank for the corn.
The 75 year old farm home is also very superior and have been
very recently redone. It has vinyl siding, new architectural
shingles, landscaping blocks and walks, a large deck area,
a wraparound porch. Inside, you will find a living room, parlor,
modern kitchen, dining room, and bath. On the second floor
are 5 bedrooms and another bath, making a total of 9 rooms.
Floors are ceramic tile and tiled linoleum, as appropriate.
Heat is oil hot water and there is an attached garage for
one car. They milk 260 grade Holsteins and have 480 head.
While not on test, the herd is bred nearly all artificially.
The farm is fully CAFO compliant. What a great line of machinery
