12447 OLD FASHIONED FARM WITH ORGANIC LAND: Buy as much land as y ou like to go with this 40-50 acre certified ORGANIC farm selling for just $195000.That would include 2 fields and a pasture, bordered by a small creek. Good  soils. Nearly everything was seeded within the last 5 years - great hay. The land is suitable for most any kind  of crops as well. There is a small spring-fed pond (piped to the barn) and a tiny creek winds through the farm. You could get quite a bit more land here if you needed it, at $2000/acre additional, up to 120 acres. A dug well services home and barn. 

The  Classic center hall colonial home features a wonderful old oak mock fireplace, hardwood floors throughout and retains all its original woodwork and features. The principal rooms are all large. Many wavy windows, 6 over 6's. It has a new roof, modern septic, oil steam heat, and there are 9 rooms. On the first floor is the kitchen (could use updating; it's very big), huge dining room, and living room, plus the bath, a pantry and a mud room. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms. A couple of the bedrooms need work.The heirs will be putting in a month-to-month tenant to keep the property heated and used during the winter. 

There is an older 30x65' machinery shed/shop. The barn is gable roofed, with post and bam construction for most of its length and has 80 tie stalls. No cattle amenities other than 2 18x50 silos with unloaders. It is a bank barn and, yes, it needs plenty of work to be useable for dairy again.. Two roof panels are off right now, a victim of recent wind, and the owners are just waiting for the contractor to show up. Ceilings are about 8' high in the stable. 

Taxes are way under $2500, cheap, and the price is just as reasonable. $195,000

12467 LEWIS COUNTY 336 ACRE RIVERFRONT RECREATIONAL DREAM COME TRUE:   The recreational potential of this property is limited only by your imagination. There are 336 acres here boasting a full mile of frontage on the famed  Black River , 100' wide, slow and deep at this point--fish, swim, canoe to your heart's content. There are approximately 150 primarily wooded acres and another 40 or so acres of old overgrown pasture that offer great deer hunting with an occasional bear. A portion of the local snowmobile club trail passes through the property following an old RR bed and links directly to other extensive trail systems throughout the area on into the Tug Hill. The land lies gently enough to make cross country skiing attractive and the Snow Ridge Ski Center is nearby.

Not to be forgotten is the 146 acres of high quality cropland currently rented to a neighboring dairy farmer making this one of those very rare properties with both high agricultural and recreational value.

There are also 2 streams on the property and several pond sites including one 5 acre site that the current owners have gotten verbal approval from the DEC to install but have never completed the process.

Thanks to the retreating glaciers in millenium past huge boulders were deposited along those streams and there is a very scenic rushing waterfall on one of them and another smaller one on the other.

The circa 1850 farmhouse  sits 350' down a long driveway in a very pleasant setting under huge shade trees. Downstairs you will find a mudroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, bedroom and a large bathroom/laundry. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a large attic area. There is a partial basement with wood planking on a dirt floor and a 2 car attached garage. In basically good condition it has seen many updates to include some vinyl siding, a 200 amp electric service, newer bathroom and kitchen, newer carpeting and a newer oil hot water heating system with radiators. Water is from a drilled well.

The old single story approximately 75'x75' barn has been cabled, has power to it and is still in usable condition but it will need attention in spots to maintain it's integrity.

In conclusion , a very interesting property to say the least. Personal recreation, hunting club, campground, religious retreat, development, even farming are all options here and more.

"Owner would rather sell the entire property as one but may consider selling with less acreage or with out the buildings".

  Located directly on State Route 12 for easy access in the Town of Turin in Southern Lewis County in the South Lewis school district. There is just over a mile of road frontage, total taxes are $8640 the bulk of which is made up by the rent from the cropland ($40/acre). The owners have also applied for the Agricultural Value Assessment which will lower the total tax bill significantly. Asking price is $450,000.

12464 COMMUTER'S FARMETTE WITH WONDERFUL OLD HOME: Almost on the Schenectady County line is this 10 acre farmette. The main part has 2500 square feet, an enclosed porch with wainscoted ceiling, front deck, vinyl siding, lots of insulation, some double-paned windows, and both oil hot water and wood hot air heat. It is served from a drilled well and a dug well is also connected.

Inside , you will find all the floors have been recently refinished - and they're beautiful. The woodwork is natural and original. Lots of closet space. There is a modern kitchen, a bath, dining and living rooms + 2 bedroom downstairs, along with two more bedrooms, on the second floor, 4 total. There is also a walk-in closet between the bedrooms upstairs. A refrigerator and a stove are included.

The second part , of 1000 square feet, was planned as an apartment, where the owner could stay while he was up hunting. But he rarely did and that‘s why it is not to the standards of the rest of the home. Heck, that's a reason why it is for sale. It has a small living room with a cathedral ceiling, leading upstairs to a loft bedroom and a second bedroom. Under this is a kitchen and an unfinished bath. Beyond, and adjoining to the main home, is an L-shaped room which had been a kitchen in years past. Part of its ceiling is wainscoted and it has built-in cabinets and neat old doors, a very cool place if you like old things. There is a separate deck in the back for the apartment.

There is a barn that measures approximately 35-42', part has a new roof and is single story; the rest has a loft. It is in good condition and can be used for garage, workshop or for animals - all at once. There are also a couple of small buildings that are in disrepair.

The yard has huge shade trees, locust and maple. A small apple orchard adjoins the yard. Behind it is pasture, with a pond, then some woods at the very back.  This is quite varied and scenic parcel of land and is suitable for many purposes. You can drive to the Capital District in less than 1/2 hour from here, yet it is quiet and peaceful, surrounded by small farms.

Amsterdam Schools and the price is cheap. If you want less land, the owner is quite willing to keep some of it and reduce the price accordingly. 

If you want more land , at the right price, he could make more available, all the way up to 150 acres. That could include a Gothic-arched roof barn across the street (It is ~36x80' with a ~20x40' wing).  We think this will garner much attention and will not remain on the market for long, once you consider what is here, the great location and a low price. $199,000

12465 “THE OLD HOMESTEAD” Hobby farm waiting for you to bring your animals. This Otsego County 15.1 acre farm is located in the town of Butternuts and Otego.There is about 6 acres cropland, 2 in woods and the rest pasture.

The post and beam bank barn is 72x30. There are 16 stanchions and lots of rooms for other animals. The ceilings are high enough for horses.  The total taxes with exemptions are only $700.00   Asking price $148,000

12468 SOUTHERN HERKIMER COUNTY HOBBY FARM WITH 2 HOMES :   Something different here on this 79 acre former dairy farm with two 35 year old side by side raised ranch homes.

The larger of the two has a kitchen, dining room, living room, 3 bedrooms and bath. The smaller is likewise but has just 2 bedrooms.

What's different is that both homes have had the former basement ground floor remodeled into studio apartments with an open kitchen/living area, a bedroom and bath. That makes for 4 separate housing units--great potential for rental income or as an extended family compound. Though mostly complete the apartments do still need some finish work. Each house has it's own 200 amp electric service, oil and wood hot air furnace and 1000 gallon septic system. There is a common drilled well with more than ample water. The larger of the homes has aluminum siding, the smaller stained wood and the ground floor sections of each are brick fronted. Both also have sliding glass doors opening onto an upper story deck in the rear.

Of the 79 acres there are roughly 55 acres of gently sloping high quality cropland--mostly the well thought of Honeoye and Howard silt loam soils which will grow most anything, season allowing. There are also 10 or so acres of woods and about the same amount of old pastureland where you will find a certain quantity of underlying gravel deposits. The tillable land has been idle for a number of years but will respond nicely and will easily qualify as organic. The sellers live out of state and rarely come up anymore so you may have to look beyond the current condition of the grounds.

The former dairy barn in total is 36'x 200'. As is so often the case the original century plus old two story section (36'x80') of the barn is in good condition. Another single story addition (36'x80') is still very usable. The newest single story section (36'x40') is the poorest and will need attention. The dairy and barn equipment is still intact and there are 3 silos with unloaders. Other outbuildings include a 30'x40' frame quonset style machinery shed and a 16'x25' storage shed.

The property straddles the town lines of both the Towns of Columbia and Litchfield just 2 miles north of the village of Cedarville in southern Herkimer county, choice of Mohawk or Mt. Markham (West Winfield) schools as the property is on the border of those 2 school districts, total taxes are $7000 without any exemptions. There is a certain amount of work to be done so the asking price is $325,000 with offers invited.

12469 DISTINCTIVE AND CLASSIC GREEK REVIVAL HOME on a country acre, with Fonda schools. It is surrounded by farms and has a large level sunny lawn with maple, pine, spruce and Lombady poplar trees for shade in the critical areas.There is a location here to put in a small spring-fed pond if someone wanted. 

The home was just completely restored, leaving its Colonial character intact. New sheetrock is nearly everywhere and the floors were releveled or resupported from below (you will notice some sloping however - it is old, after all). It was just painted and has a new roof on the main section. Most rooms have the original paneling and woodwork, 6 over 6 windows, and beautifully refinished plank floors. Five of the downstairs windows are new as well as 2 of the upstairs ones. Interior doors are mostly original to the home; the rest are congruous. The front door is new and is fiberglas, but is Colonial styled. There are 6 ersatz columns in the front and a porchlette that mimics the roof lines. 

This home was built in the mid nineteenth century , of pegged post and beam construction with hand-hewn main beams and rough cut lumber for joists. The foundation, in excellent conditon, is cut limestone and it is mortared between the blocks. The main part of the basement has a cement floor and adequate ceiling height, but seasonal dampness  would limit its use for anything other than usual basement use.

In the home , ceilings are 9-10' downstairs. There are also 2 original fireplaces with bricked-in fronts. The living room is 15x18',a bright airy room - it could also be used as a downstairs bedroom. The dining room, a lovely room, is 16 1/2x21' and could also be used as a living room. This room has full decorative period paneling up to window height. It has one of the fireplaces. The kitchen has ample room for dining as it is 17 1/2x17 1/2' (L-shaped). It has all new hickory Early American cabinetry with ceramic tile countertops. Behind it is a 9 1/2x16' bedroom.  Due to its many oversize original windows and high ceilings, this home has a bright and airy feeling. All  floors are beautifully refinished plank. All moldings are original or replicas. There is also a full bath downstairs and a charming and original pantry.  

Upstairs , the master bedroom is  16x20'. A partial wall divides it .This apparently was 2 bedrooms once as there are doors from it to both upstairs halls. It has sole access to a new full bath. Another bedroom (or storage room) is 6x17'. The front stairs in the sunny  formal front hall has a J-curve and, very unusual for a home of this era, and it goes at right angles to the conventional center hall setup.  

There are 1990 square foot total. Oil hot air heat. The furnace has a new heat chamber. Water is more than ample, from a drilled well and the septic is believed to be modern. Taxes are only $2621 with no deductions taken, not even Star (which any resident owner would be qualified to take). $145000, and for the right party with $15000 down, I could offer generous terms..

12451 ORGANIC AMISH FARM FOR COWS & HORSES:

Amish farm now offered in an area which little ever comes up for sale. Located on a quiet road, it has 140 acres, 58 of which are tillable (well-drained Wassaic soils predominate), 60 wooded, and the remainder is either pasture or Wetland.  The farm is certifiable as organic.  A Wetland easement could be sold to the State by the new owner if they desired.  There is much water on the property - three developed springs, a drilled well, a small stream, and a large beaver pond (which crosses over into adjacent land). There is $20000 of timber value, and, frankly, some needs to be thinned to allow better growth of the rest. The owner will be doing this carefully, then plowing the proceeds back into the property.

The home is large, 15 rooms. Downstairs is a front porch (6x18' - incidentally, all sizes given here are approximate), a mud room, large wash and baking room (16x30', which could be turned into a garage if you wanted), a living room (15x27'), a kitchen/dining room (14x20'), a sitting room (15x15', with a wood stove, plank ceiling and floors, and wainscoting), a bedroom (15x15'), an office (8x14'), and two pantries/storage rooms. Upstairs are 2 sitting rooms, and 4-5 bedrooms).  Part of the home is new but not all has been finished.

The main barn is roughly 40x130' and is of post and beam construction throughout most of its length. Once a 52 cow barn with a spreader shed, it now has 28 cow ties and 10 horse stalls (2 box stalls & 8 straight stalls), plus a 2 story wing for hay and straw, and another section that is used as a woodworking shop.

There is a 3 bay machinery shed (20x30'), a large machinery shed (22x75'), a small chicken coop and other small buildings. The owner's son owns a one room rustic log cabin (neat!) and a two stall horse barn which are built to be portable and will be removed unless you also wish to purchase them ($8000 for the cabin).

Current taxes are $3952, but will be lowered next year as the owner has just combined 3 tax parcels. While the price of $279000 equals his investment there, he is definitely looking for offers and propositions. 

Let me give you some ideas. 1) He could sell with less land (a neighbor would like to have some of the land in the back should he decide to sell that way). By non-Amish standards, much of the home is unfinished. For instance, there are many plywood floors, no functional wiring, no bathrooms (other than a 3 holer), and no kitchen cabinets. But the owner is an accomplished carpenter, electrician, and cabinet-maker. 2) He can put in hardwood floors, wire it to code (if you buy the materials), or put in bathrooms or kitchen cabinets. 

For religious reasons, this (#2) cannot be done until the property is under contract and a deposit given - he hopes that you will understand.  Also, for religious reasons, there can be no Sunday showings or drivebys.  Also, for religious reasons, the Church has asked that we disseminate no interior pictures without prior approval. When you visit here, you will immediately see that there is nothing to hide and that we are dealing with people of honest and honorable intentions who operate under certain constraints of their beliefs .

There are 38 surveyed rolling acres here with 15 acres in actively cropped hay meadow. The soils are highly thought of Conesus and Lansing silt loams--both on the list of Otsego County prime farmlands. There is a tiny patch of woods but the remainder of the ground is primarily old pastureland just beginning to fill in with a few trees here and there.

UNDER CONTRACT

12439 OTSEGO COUNTY SECLUDED DEAD-END GETAWAY, HUNTING CAMP:  

This is one of those spots that you just fall in love with, that every deer hunter dreams about. At the very end of a town maintained gravel road butted up against the 800 acre Basswood State Forest you will find this 24 acre property with 16 acres of woods and an 8 acre hay meadow that is still regularly cropped by a local farmer. You will find absolute privacy here as well as excellent hunting.

There is a good 14'x70' single wide mobile home in perfectly livable condition with a kitchen, living room, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The stove, refrigerator and some of the furnishings are to be included. A small deck on the front provides a nice spot to sit and soak up the tranquility. Just the place to simply get away, set up your hunting camp or even build a house somewhere down the road. Will have to be off the grid though--there are currently no utilities or septic system available here, never has been. The mobile home does have a portable generator hookup, there is propane delivery available locally and there is an old dug well close by that used to provide water for the original old homestead that was located here--quality or quantity unknown.

Just a short ride into Cooperstown and straddling the Exeter and Burlington town lines in the Edmeston school district. Total taxes are an unbelievably low $300 and the asking price is $75,000. Owner will consider short term financing with 1/3 down.

12456 SOUTHERN MADISON COUNTY DUTCH COLONIAL ON 70 ACRES:    This 100+ year old Dutch Colonial style home lies in the fertile Unadilla River valley along State Route 8 in the far SE corner of Madison County, Town of Brookfield.

There are 9 rooms here to include a large open kitchen and dining room, a huge living room, a bedroom or office, mudroom, laundry room and 3/4 bath down and 3 bedrooms and 2 baths up. The home has been extensively remodeled offering some rather unique amenities. The kitchen offers all granite countertops and all newer built-in appliances including 2 complete ovens and stovetops. The lady of the house was raised in the Mennonite tradition where at harvest time there was never enough cooking space to go around.

There is a 500 sq. ft. master bath and bedroom suite upstairs with a jacuzzi, shower stall and both his and her vanities. The floors are mostly carpeted but there is oak flooring in the kitchen and dining room, marble in the upstairs baths. 

Rounding things out there is a drilled well, the house is vinyl sided, has an asphalt shingle roof, there is an attached 2 car garage and a 3/4 stand up, dry cement basement lined with canning racks where you will find a fully updated 200 amp electric service and generator hookup.

A special word about the heating system --there is a standard electric baseboard heating system as a backup but their main sources of heat are a wood pellet/corn furnace in an ante room between the kitchen and garage and a separate corn stove that sits on a rather elaborate pedastal in the living room. Total heating costs for the entire year--$750.

There are 70 acres here with 9 acres of highly fertile Howard gravelly silt loam soil directly behind the house. Grow all your garden needs and sell the surplus at a stand out front--perfect spot for it. There are roughly 5 acres of woods up on the hill with the remainder being old pastureland. Owner said the hunting is great up there, that there are 3 ponds and views that take in the whole valley.

Extra income potential: there are some gravel deposits here and great interest is being shown locally by natural gas companies in the gas bearing Marcellus and Utica shale deposits underneath this entire valley.

If the numbers add up and the credit reports are good the sellers will consider owner financing and even the possibility of taking other property in trade. All kinds of possibilities here. Taxes will need to be determined as this piece is currently part of a larger property. Edmeston school district. Asking price is $299,000.

12461 CLASSIC 1865 VICTORIAN is in excellent condition, as it has been for most of the 40 years these folks have owned it. And it sits on 9.7 very scenic acres, occupying the top of a ridge, so there are views both north and south.  The land is mostly side hill pasture, very fertile with a locust grove and hedgerows plus a seasonal stream to make it visually appealing. The lawn around the home and garden is level and it is well-shaded, with huge trees. There are actually 2 lots here, selling as one property. It is excellently located, just 2-3 miles from town and an exit of I90 in a quiet community with a good arts program and good schools. This would be a great spot for horses or small animals. There is a large garden and it is well landscaped.

The home has all its original shutters and doors, inside and out, plus it has a slate roof in very good condition. High ceilings (9 1/2') are throughout, along with 6” pine plank floors (which are carpeted downstairs, refinished upstairs).  Downstairs is an enclosed breezeway, a former kitchen now used as a utility room, & a mud room. Inside the home proper is a large eat-in country kitchen with the original wainscoted walls and ceiling, a living room with a bay window, a bedroom, a study with a monster closet (~5x15'), and a bath and a half with laundry. A front and a back stairs lead to the second floor where there are 4 more bedrooms. Two of these have electric heat and closets; the other two, while in very nice condition, lack these. One of the bedrooms has duplicates of the bay windows found in the first floor, very nice.

There is oil hot water heat to the downstairs, a 120' drilled well with lots of water (currently supplying 2 homes; there is a conditioner that goes with it). The kitchen is Wood-Mode brand and features a large island and 2 year old refrigerator and stove (the rest of the appliances are negotiable). There are built-in speakers throughout the downstairs. All the downstairs windows are double paned (with curved tops to match the upstairs). The entire home was sheetrocked when it was remodeled 27 years ago. The septic is about the only thing here that has not been modernized. Old, but it works.

The walkup attic is a thing of beauty and is fully 2 stories high by itself. It could be easily made into more living space and it already has electricity. The basement is full, but only partially cement-floored.

Taxes are just over $3000 and the price is $249000.

UNDER CONTRACT

12360 COMMUTER'S HORSE FARM WITH ARENA : Handyman's horse farm: for $195,500 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. THE OWNER WILL HOLD THE MORTGAGE WITH 20% DOWN FOR QUALIFIED BUYERS, 195,500

12436 ONEIDA COUNTY 1795 BRICK COLONIAL, HORSE FARM AND B&B:  

Just minutes from Vernon Downs harness racing track, the Oneida Indian Nation's Turning Stone Casino and I-90 you will find this well kept 10.3 acre gem sheltered by large shade trees and surrounded with many flowering trees and perennial flower gardens. The grounds are slightly rolling and primarily open except for an acre or so of woods down towards the 25' wide Sconondoa Creek which serves as the rear boundary of the property. There are about 6 acres of pasture here divided into 3 well fenced horse paddocks all in close proximity to the barn.

The stately 10 room circa 1795 brick center hall colonial, in very good condition, has been completely renovated over the years but retains many of the original features including the hardwood and wide plank floors, the high ceilings and three fireplaces. The first floor consists of a modern kitchen, the dining room with a wood stove, the living room across the center hall with a fireplace and a pantry/laundry room. There is a 3 room mother-in-law apartment off the rear of the first floor with a living room, bedroom, office and bath where the owners stay when guests are in residence for their bed and breakfast. Upstairs there is the master bedroom with it's own private bath and a fireplace, 2 more bedrooms (one with another fireplace) and another full bath. There is a full cement basement below and a full attic above. The home has a new gas hot water furnace with radiators, a new painted steel roof, a 1000 gal concrete septic, a 100 amp electric service with breakers and village water. A large covered porch to the rear allows backyard privacy no matter what the weather. It should be mentioned here that the fireplaces and woodstove are not currently operable but can be made so again with new chimney liners. Also, in the side yard there are existing electric, water and septic hookups from a previous 2nd home on the property, should someone wish to make use of them.

The 34'x110', two story, post and beam former dairy barn, also in very good shape, has been converted over for horses with the installation of 15 spacious completely enclosed box stalls--wood below, steel bars above.

The original 26'x42' two story carriage barn with an attached and enclosed 36'x42' leanto addition is impressive and offers many options. There is room for at least 4 vehicles in the downstairs portion used as a garage area. The central portion provides a large shop area with door and roof high enough to admit even the largest of trucks. The end section has another 4 large box stalls and storage area.

There is a rather interesting historical feature to this property--namely the presence of an intact steel railroad trestle built by the former Owasco River Railroad; not for use by the train to pass over something, as would be expected, but rather for use by the land owning farmer to get his cattle and farm machinery over the train tracks. The tracks have long since been removed and the RR easement returned to the landowners but the trestle remains, a reminder of both an industrial and agricultural heritage rapidly disappearing.

Wrapping things up the property in located on State Route 5 with 600' of road frontage in the Town of Vernon , Oneida County in the Vernon-Verona-Sherrill school district, total taxes are $4000 with the enhanced STAR deduction.  PRICE REDUCED TO $329,000

12434 THE FORMER STONE HOUSE RESTAURANT is now being offered for sale. Possibilities here are many - reopen the restaurant, use as a professional building, mini farm, palatial residence, internet business, spring water plant, office space, quilt shop, banquet or party facility, martial arts or exercise studio.... Because the serving area is clear span, it could be easily divided into various configurations. Its many casement windows look out into pleasant and bucolic farmland surroundings in every direction.

Before I tell you about the buildings, let me say some words about the land. Located in southern Herkimer County between I 90 and US 20, this 15 acres is set in the middle of an area dominated by family farms and middle class homes. The land is mostly open, though there are copses of trees. Soils are high quality, high lime, fairly flat and suitable for any crop that can be grown in the climate. It enjoys nice area views. There is 2.1 Wetlands surrounding a crystal clear stream that, though small, flows at 288 cubic feet per minute. You can easily walk right to the stream (called Steele Creek); it's not that wet around it. And there is a small pond, whose clarity is unrivaled in any I have seen. It is entirely spring fed, and what springs! One comes from the spring that serves as the water source (it also supplies the neighbor) and another, larger, one gushes out of the ground a few feet away. Between the three, the outflow is 211cfm. This is over 2 1/4 million gallons a day! Because of the flow, the pond never freezes, no matter how severe the winter. Inflow temperature during summer is 47 degrees and outflow is just 50 - perfect for trout! A State snowmobile trail runs very close by. There is 905' of road frontage, equally split between both sides of the road. From the deed description, it would appear that most if not all the land has been surveyed, though much of this may have been in the distant past.

The restaurant portion has an air-conditioned seating area for 100 patrons that is 24x75. When operating, they used to serve 250-300 meals per 18 hour week, and also another 700 for meals on wheels. The new section can be separated from the old by using an in-place folding wall partition. There are also 4 – 8' portable folding room partitions as well. There is a hostess? desk, a wet sink, a water dispenser and ice sink, and the expected men and women's facilities. Floors are older commercial carpet. The furnace that services the restaurant is nearly new; the one that serves the home is older and is currently disconnected as a previous owner had used a wood furnace temporarily. Both furnaces are oil hot air.? Included are 50 chairs and 14 tables and some miscellaneous supplies. The main home was built from locally quarried limestone about 1830 with the restaurant added in1963 and expanded again in 1987. In the home portion is a former bar room (20x13?) with a tile floor and pass-through from the kitchen, the commercial kitchen (15x15') with a double oven, 6 burner stove and 3 burner grill + broiler, 12' vent hood with fire suppression system, commercial double basin sink. a 7x15' former laundry/prep room, and another 11X12.5' former baking room (this could be used as another bedroom as it has a closet).

Upstairs are three bedrooms (14x16', with an historic sleeping alcove now used as a huge closet; 12x17' with closet and full bath added, and 13x17', with closet.

Outside is a tiny cabana with a toilet and a 24' above-ground pool with a large deck surrounding it.

12391 CHARMING VALLEY BEEF FARM NEAR ONEONTA:

Located in an idyllic valley setting on a paved road this 190 acre farm includes a circa 1856 and1910 Colonial farmhouse with 3,020' of road frontage. The house and the majority of the land are on the eastern side with the barns directly across the road. On the eastern side there is a mixture of pasture, cropland and 45 acres of forest lands. A small stream runs through the middle of the property and a pond is visible from the kitchen window. Geese have their babies on the pond each spring, wood ducks, mallards and mergansers visit. Deer, fox and turkey abound in the area, often stopping to drink from the creek that feeds the pond. On the western side are the barns, barnyard and a small pasture, plus a 5 acre piece that has been used as a calving pasture. A designated trout stream runs the length of the western side. 1,100 acres of state forest are located throughout the area. Part of the state forest adjoins the SW end of the property. The land and surrounding area is perfect for snowmobiling, hunting, fishing and recreational activities.

Because of its unique wildlife habitat, aquatic habitat, and rural character, the farm is a part of the Otsego Land Trust conservation easement program. The purpose of this program is to “enhance the long term natural values of property and protect the distinctive rural character of Otsego county and its land and waters of significant scenic, historic and ecological value.”

The farm will be designated as agricultural whether or not any farming is occurring. There are three building areas totaling 9.2 acres along the road. Indoor riding rings, barns, buildings for home occupations (such as an antique shop), or buildings used for education or recreational uses are some examples of what may be constructed. The 5 acre piece could be used to build another house or could be sold off from the 190 acres. In the farm and forestry area any structure for farm or forestry, education or recreation may be constructed. A cabin can also be built in the forest area. Basically the only restriction is that another house can be built only where the house is now and on the five acres. The rest of the land can be used for any type of farming, rural enterprise, educational or recreational purposes.

The home is set back from the road and has 2,400 sqft. of living area, which includes a country style kitchen with the original built in cabinet and an eating area, dining room, side hall with a small room and a living room with a fireplace downstairs.
