12360RV/JS/DM/LM   COMMUTER'S HORSE FARM WITH ARENA ...$237,000

Handyman's horse farm: for $237,000 you get an indoor arena that is 50x150', 14 box stalls, a tack shop & workshop, and a classic Greek Revival home. Yes, there is work needed and cleanup as well, but that has been more than factored into the price - we are not asking $500000! AND, it is located near Schenectady County , less than an? hour from Saratoga and 1/2 hour from the Capital District! This has been in the family since 1958. The current owner's parents operated it as a horse farm; he does not keep animals. Let's examine in detail what you will receive. The arena is in very good condition and has the 14 10x12' stalls located in the center of the barn, so the horses can run around the outside of the stalls. There used to be 20 stalls here but 6 have been removed. They all could be reconfigured, removed and reassembled at an end if that was so desired. The barn is clear-span and there are no structural limitations. Frankly, it contains way too many of the owner's possessions, which will be removed as he is able (right now, he is on crutches from a broken leg). The tack shop is in very good condition and is used now as a workshop but could easily be converted back - nothing was changed other than an overhead door added. It is 20x40'. There is an old small hay barn, in very poor condition, with the unpainted barn boards and heavy beams that are so sought after. Another building is a combination woodshed/lawn and garden implement shed. It is in good condition. The home is a classic Greek Revival, very original. The interior needs updating and remodeling, but basically it is in very good structural condition - with 2 exceptions. There is one rotted sill (some siding has been removed so that you can see it) and part of the roof is old. The exterior looks attractive and the grounds can be very nice. Inside, there is a dining room, living room, kitchen, and an unheated storage room. Upstairs are 4 bedrooms and a bath. There is in oil hot air furnace and also a woodstove. The basement is 3/4 and there are 3 wells (one drilled and 2 dug). All the original woodwork, trim, etc. are there as well as some very wide plank board floors. This sits on a paved side road and has 40 acres of land, with 501' of road frontage. About 16-17 acres are wooded and the remainder is either hay meadows or pasture. You will find outstanding views from the fields. The are 2 farm ponds as well. Taxes are about $4300 and it has Schoharie schools.

12343RV/JS/DM/LM   SCOTTISH HIGHLANDER FARM ON 27 ACRES………………....................REDUCED TO......................……..$125,000

This low-priced farmette has much going for it - 27 acres with only $3000 in taxes, a newer home, 2 barns, and the land is fenced, and a mixture of tillable and wooded, with a nice creek in the back. You can watch turkeys, a 14 point deer or pileated woodpecker from the home. Nearly all the land is on one side of a lightly-traveled paved country road, but there is one acre included which is directly across from the home which goes with it, which either assures that no one will build across from you or it gives you an obvious subdivision if you ever want. Right now there are just large hayfields across the road. The home is single story, 1600 square feet in size and has a wood stove hookup, but the main heat source is propane (he burned only $700 of propane to heat it last year). It has spring water. There are 7 rooms, 3 of them bedrooms, and there are also 2 full baths. It has cathedral ceilings and an open floor plan. The stove, washer and dishwasher are included in the sale. I would call it in good, not very good condition. In one spot there has been an obvious roof leak in the past (which has been repaired, but the sheetrock underneath has not). Do not expect to come here and find everything picked up, floors vacuumed, and so forth. The owner, a single man, prefer to spend his spare time (when he has it) with his animals and not in the home or yard. He also has 20 years of personal possessions which he assures us will be removed before the closing. The former dairy barn is now used for a herd of Scotch Highlanders. It is a steel-framed single story modern building, 40x50' and has very high ceilings and could be easily adapted to any use. He houses 42 head in here now. The second barn is your typical post and beam structure and has low ceilings, is 35x75' and is used as a run-in shed for some of the beef. It is in fair condition, needing some repair, but not too much (paint, couple of sheets of roofing, and repair to the floor by the barn bridge, which the owner intends to finish). The same spring furnishes water for the barns.
