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, in nice condition, and
on a double lot, 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 more 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. There are 11.6+ acres here
plus the double lot with the home, 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 and are
estimated at $1200 (the arena is still exempt, but they get no Star
as no one occupies the home - this is a Town known for low taxes)
and the price $325000.
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 owner's 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.

COLONIAL FARM: This
is a fine classic-looking old farmstead with an impressive Greek
Revival home set among large shade trees. The home has 10
rooms with living room, kitchen, dining
room, bedroom, laundry and storage room and large center hallway
down with 5 bedrooms and the bath upstairs. There are fireplaces
in the large country kitchen and dining rooms. The living room has
a mock fireplace. Original woodwork is throughout. Gas hot
water furnace and spring water. It has a newer roof and
furnace with an attached 2 car garage. There is also an attic.
The basement is dirt but the electric is all on breakers.
The home needs work, but all the basics are there and it is located
only minutes from Cooperstown . It could be a county showplace.
The hip roof dairy barn has block first story construction (60x300')
with 120 stalls, and holds 180 head total. It looks better from
the road than it really is - the back wall needs work. Most everything
on the inside has basically been stripped. There are 4 silos with
unloaders in various stages of repair (20x40, 20x50, & two 24x50's).
There is also a 36x80 machine shed. The farm comes with 10
acres. It's a rare find for only $119,000

TASTE OF YESTERDAY ON THE EDGE OF SUBURBIA:
Less than 3 miles from the Utica city limits in a rapidly developing
area is this 41 acre farm
reminiscent of the way things used to be. Excellent location on
state highway for a roadside market with 20 acres of prime level
farmland to back it up. Another 20 acres of fenced pasture with
a creek running through will provide for your livestock if you wish
to go that route. The 12 room home is a circa 1849 center hall
colonial in good condition. Downstairs is a large entry room, a
large eat-in kitchen, a pantry/laundry room, living room, dining
room, office and bath. Upstairs are 4
bedrooms, a storage room and an attic room. The floors are mostly
plank, the ceilings high and there are two full length glass promenade
doors in the dining room that go out onto the front porch. There
is a 3/4 concrete basement with access from the attached garage,
vinyl siding, a newer oil hot water heating system with radiators,
a 150 amp electric service, woodstove hookup, an 1000 gal concrete
septic and city water and gas. Structurally the home
is in very good shape but it will need some updating and redecorating
to suit your taste. The 36'x110' former dairy barn with
full overhead hay storage is in very good condition and there is
ample headroom for horses. The milkhouse has been turned into a
workshop and there is also an attached storage shed. There
are 38 swing stanchions and 2 pens, a 14'x30' concrete stave silo
with an operating silo unloader and a greased and oiled Patz barn
cleaner ready to go to work. There is also another 18'x18'
storage shed. A great place to grow some vegetables, raise
some critters or just to get a taste of the country close to
the city. Located in the Town of Schuyler, Herkimer County with
350' of road frontage, Whitesboro school district, total taxes $3365
with no exemptions. Asking price is $325,000.

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. 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. The second floor has a landing,
large hallway, huge linen closet, four bedrooms with closets and
a bathroom There are wood floors throughout the house. There is
anew heavy duty oil hot air furnace which was installed in December
of 2007. The home is well insulated and has new insulated windows
throughout, a 4 year old roof and 200 amp electrical service. There
are perennial gardens surrounding the home, crabapple and apple
trees, as well as pine trees on the north side. There is a wonderful,
large front porch where you can watch the 10 or so cars a day that
pass. The spring water is excellent and piped to the house and barns
with a new 1 ¼” pipe. There is also an underground invisible
dog fence along the road front. The barns are just across the road
from the residence.
There is a 30x75' two story wood frame bank barn, which is up to
code with 100 amp service, an 8' ceiling downstairs, a hay loft
above and a new red metal roof. It has been used as a working area
for cattle. It has the original beams and is a beauty. There are
fenced working areas around the barns. There is also an old red
barn for farm equipment storage and small animal housing. A machinery
shed is farther down the road. The farm is only 4 miles from Morris;
a lovely little village with all the amenities. There is a bank,
grocery store and various other businesses. Morris Central School
has recently been updated and is known for its excellence. Oneonta
and Cooperstown are within 35 minutes with Albany and Binghamton
about an hour on I-88. This was an operating beef farm. There are
still 8 head and 5 new calves. It is a farm rich in history, character
and beauty; a special place. The owners are moving to be closer
to aging family members. The home is charming and entirely livable,
but a new owner would probably want to do some updating. The farm
has been appraised at $435,000. The owners have given a considerable
discount and are offering the farm at $390,000

IH H tractor (wide front end), 6' mower, McCormick baler, NH256
rake, Kuhn(?) tedder, flat bed wagon.
Another 86 adjoining acres are available for
$ 175000 Separately. This has a 40x140' clear-span
building on it that was once a dance hall but now is in need of
repair. The roof has been damaged from wind in places but does not
appear to leak. I cannot say that about the two shed-style ends
- they leak badly. The walls are cement block and repair is needed
to them in a couple of places. One side has a perceptible
lean. The place was heated once and there are men's' and women's
rooms there. All but 10 acres of this land is tillable, and mostly
high quality soils and views as well. A small stream crosses
in its back in the wooded area.
You can combine these
two for $ 450000 . They are actively being
shown and it is known that the older owner is anxious to move
to town before he is unable to continue to maintain this in its
current excellent condition.

MAINE FARM WITH OCEAN VIEWS: Mainely
views here on this 82 acre farm in northern Maine - you can enjoy
180 degree views for 25 miles. See the St. Croix
River Valley, Quoddy Bay, the Bay of Fundy, Canada, and Campobello,
Deer and Navy Islands. This is a fairly remote area, with clean
surrounding properties, a perfect getaway. Your nearest neighbor
is a campground, yet the trendy art community of Eastport is only
a few miles away. The land is one nautical mile deep
and has 366' of road frontage on a quiet paved road. (In the back,
it gets suddenly wider and is 737' wide.) Yes, it has been surveyed
(but not pinned). There are 25 acres here in hay meadows, ~30 in
pasture and ~30 of deep woods (some timber value, they participate
in Maine 's Woods Wise program). There is a vernal pond in the woods
and in the open areas you will find good garden soils, the best
in the area, the neighbors say. You will find planted asparagus
and raspberries here, along with grapes and elderberries, and a
new orchard of 10-12 trees, ready to bear cherries, pears, peaches
as well as apples. There are also mature apple trees. The land is
all organic, though the owners have not taken steps to certify it
as such. The buildings are located on the highest portion of the
property - at 300' elevation. Low elevation and proximity to the
sea gives this area a better growing
season and milder temperatures than you might otherwise think. This
is a good location for wind generators and lack of zoning in the
Town makes them a real possibility. The breezes keep away the bugs,
too. While the home is certainly habitable, it does not begin to
do justice to the location. Someone with strong and definite ideas
of how they want their home to appear could live there while building
a larger and more modern home in a nearby location. Or, you can
finish the project the owners have started and use it and be happy
there. They have put in new sills, new vinyl windows,
new 100 amp electric, new HW heater and water pump, insulated it,
and plan a new roof for next season. Downstairs, there is a formal
entrance (needs work), a kitchen with the original stamped tin ceiling,
an office which could be used as a bedroom (has new carpet), a pantry,
an old bath, dining and living rooms. The hand-hewn beams of this
200 year old home are exposed in the living and dining rooms. Floors
are old and are maple. Up a small stairway (typical of homes in
this area) is a large upstairs with one finished bedroom and 2-3
other rooms which have not been finished. The home has always been
humble, yet proud, and has 1100 square feet with two chimneys
(one for the gas furnace, one for the woodstove), stone-lined dug
+ a drilled well, and white vinyl siding. Inside is a Garland professional
6 burner/double oven stove which the owners could make available.
The barn has been restored
where needed and has new sills, walls and roof. It too is very old
and only needs some new siding on one part to complete the restoration.
It is used for hay and goats and is 40x60', of post and beam construction,
and is gambrel roofed. It has a threshing floor, room for 4-5 cows,
2 draft horses and smaller livestock. There is also a 15x25' shed
(new sills and roof) used for goats and chickens, as well as a small
pig pen (6x10', now used for storage as their pigs are pastured).
A handmade antique hay wagon (no wheels) is stored in the barn,
a beautiful old thing. But there is also modern machinery available
if you want to farm it - a nearly new JD 5410 tractor with 4WD,
a #540 l oader
and cab (2600 hours), a newer JD 525 rotary disc mower, newer Frontier
RR`1012E rotary rake, a JD 336 baler and a flat bed hay wagon. You
will find lots of hay land to rent for free - and it is very nearby
too. If you want to go
whole hog (pardon the pun), you could buy their pigs, sheep, chickens
and Jersey cows. Guess the taxes here.... Can't ?? No wonder - they
are $666 - TOTAL, & FOR THE YEAR! This is not New York , folks.
The price, however, is a New York price, a low $268000. The machinery
would add an additional $44000. Due to its location, the owners
will be showing it. They are moving to be nearer to aged parents.
Call us for further details, for pictures and maps, and to set up
an appointment to see this unusual find.

Hideaway camp on 112 secluded and bucolic acres is just great! A
very pretty open hay meadow and the vast remainder
(like 108 acres) is wooded. The owner reports lots of large trees
here -- maple, oak, ironwood, poplar, hemlock, white pine, cherry...
35 acres are in Wetlands and there is a large pond on the property.
You will find this a wildlife haven with deer, beaver, fisher, muskrat,
rabbits and other small game + herons, owls, turkey, hawks, geese,
and ducks plus lots of smaller birds. Lots of large trees, great
campsites, utter quiet, yet it is only 40 minutes and 2 stoplights
from downtown Albany . There are three buildings here. A 2 story
car garage whose second story could make an apartment, a one car
garage, and a new 12x40' storage buildiing that also could be used
for residence. Let me tell you about each. The 2 story garage has
a started bath and 2 bedrooms upstairs. The rest is open living
space. Sheetrock is finished and painted, but the floors are still
plywood and no kitchen is installed. The space downstairs is a very
high-ceilinged garage with 2 overhead doors that could be used for
additonal living space. There is anew 200 amp entrance, phone, and
a new roof. The other garage is one car and has a crushed stone
floor. It too is unusually high. The third building is presently
at another location, but
will be moved here. It looks like a small house, except the
main doors are double, 6-8' wide between the two of them. The interior
is just plywood. It is nearly new. There is a well with good-tasting
water, a septic, and power right there. The power comes across
private land to reach there, so no one is likely to build near you
on the way in. There is 2400' of frontage on a dead end dirt road
- this is very private. No one lives anywhere near. Taxes are $1850
and the price is $195000. Possible owner
terms to a qualified party. Canajoharie schools and, yes, the Town
would plow the road for you if you lived there

COMMUTER'S HORSE FARM WITH ARENA :
Handyman's horse farm: for $237,500 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.
Asking $237,500

GRAND ESTATE HOME ON 20.5 ACRES: “Third
Hill”, as it is known,
is located on 20.5 acres at the edge of a tiny village. The original
portion was built in the mid 1700's and other sections were added
during Victorian times. It has 4500 square feet of living space
and was 95% redone in the past 2 years. You will find that Colonial
colors dominate and a very old-fashioned feel is in nearly every
room. It features new sheet rock, new wiring, new copper plumbing,
new insulation, a new 97% efficient gas hot water heat system, and
it is wired and plumbed so that an in-law apartment
could be installed. Downstairs is a storage room with stairs to
a walk-in attic above it, a kitchen, pantry, dining room, formal
front hall, a double living room with wood stove hookup, a den,
a bedroom and a bath. Upstairs are 2 walk-in attics, 4 bedrooms
and another bath. Most floors are painted plank, but a few bedrooms
have new carpet. There are many exterior features that give this
home its grand feel - curved doors, Victorian curlicues, a
curved wraparound porch...There is a good drilled well and a former
chicken coop (24x24') that could be used for horses or as a garage
or workshop. The estate is unique. It has a bunny ski trail and
hooks up to existing snowmobile trails. There are many blackberries,
blueberries and black, white and pink currants on the property.
There is good hunting for deer and turkey, and maybe even bear.
The land is an attractive mixture of open and wooded. There
is frontage on both ends of the property. Taxes are only $1200 and
the price is just $219,000. Both are going to make someone VERY
happy!

12342 MADE TO ORDER RECREATIONAL
GETAWAY ON 104 ACRES: The property is almost
totally wooded and overgrown pasture--perfect turkey and whitetail
cover and 10 point bucks have been regularly harvested here. Steele

CREEKSIDE FARM IS IDEAL FOR VEGETABLE GROWERS:
113 acres in the heart of the Mohawk Valley near Canajoharie has
87 acres tillable with 26 acres of high-fertility creek bottom land,
suitable for commercial
vegetable operation. Besides the creek (which is big enough
to be canoed), there is a pond behind the barn + another one in
a field and a large stream with a beaver dam across the road. A
$30,000 investment here was a windmill to generate electricity.
It paid for itself in 5 years as extra energy generated was sold
to the power company, but now needs some repair, probably
a bearing. The previous owner rented the home after he moved,
so had no incentive to fix it and the current owner has shown no
interest in energy savings. The owners pasture horses here and use
part of the 30x60' barn as a run-in. The barn does have 6 box stalls,
but they are small and the ceiling is low. The barn is in poor condition.
The large, 3200 sq. ft. modern two story home has a 15x30'
living room, 600sq.ft.dining room-kitchen, 1.75 baths, laundry and
4 bedrooms. Lots of closet space here. There is a 10x15' enclosed
porch, a 17x32' unfinished back section, and a full,
high-ceiling basement. Fireplace + wood stove and all appliances
(new range, refrigerator, dishwasher, freezer, washer and drier).
Floors are linoleum except in the living room where they are oak
(it could use refinishing) Anderson windows, vinyl siding,
good foundation.. The home has been super insulated for electric
heat. All of the rooms are large and bright. There is a circular
drive, a good 2 car garage, and some small outbuildings of little
worth. There are also the remains of a 30x80' pole barn which suffered
a snow load collapse on the majority of its roof. GREAT NEW

VERSATILE OTSEGO COUNTY 265 ACRE FARM:
You can do it all here:
hunt, fish, hike, ATV, snowmobiles or even try your hand at raising
some stock, all within 20 minutes of Cooperstown . There are roughly
60 acres of tillable land here with 120 acres of mostly hardwoods
and the rest pasture. The woods were last logged in 1999 and there
is currently estimated to be $35,000 worth of timber there again,
value of which should more than double in 10 years. The tillable
ground and pasture have not seen
chemicals or fertilizers for over 10 years so the farm will easily
qualify as organic if you wish to go that route. Some of the best
hunting in the county can be had here for deer, turkey, grouse and
even pheasants that wander over from the neighbors where they are
stocked by the state. There is great trout fishing in the year round
stocked
Wharton Creek that wends through the property for over a mile. The
owner currently keeps a small herd of beef cattle here in the approx
36'x70' two story stock barn which is in very nice shape. There
is also a 40'x60' enclosed steel pole barn on a cement slab. The
home is a cute 2 bedroom, 1 bath ranch in move in condition with
a stone fireplace and
hardwood floors throughout save for ceramic tiles in the updated
kitchen. It has a dry basement and all internal systems are go.
There are fewer and fewer farms of this size on the market with
each passing year--nail one while you still can. Asking price is
$495,000. May be purchased with less acreage. Owners considering
all offers.

the home. It will be replaced in a few months if no one buys the
place first! There are 2 drilled wells. Here: the one by the barn
serves the home and the one by the home serves the barn, but it
has sulfur. It also serves land being retained by the owners. Taxes
are estimated at $3300 and the price is only $239000. The owner
is interested in hearing your offers. More land (up to 52 acres
total) could be made available, provided it was at the right price
- or he might be willing to lease to you.

for horses. There is water to the main barn and also a 14x40' silo.

LANE'S END FARM IN THE MIDDLE OF AMISH
If you are willing to do some minor cleanup and finish the  remodeling,
there is huge potential here. This 96.8 acre farm is located on
a short dead end road with absolutely spectacular views
to the south, right square in Amish country. 70 acres are tillable
and are rented to a cash crop farmer. These are high quality soils,
all in soybeans and corn now, and have all been tile drained. The
remainder is pasture. There is a seasonal stream and long road frontage,
all with easy access and wonderful views. The home is brick,
and has Federal lines. The owners claim it is 200 years old.
It has 12 rooms, 5 of them bedrooms and there are 2 baths as well.
Much of the home has been rewired, many new windows installed, and
new  insulation
added. Most walls have been stripped and sheet rocked (but not mudded),
and there is a new hot air furnace plus a wood stove. New septic
and 2 good wells, sothe basics are taken care of. The woodwork is
original throughout and it has pine plank floors, a gracious stairway,
and a double curved window front door. Ceilings are 10' downstairs
and 9' above. An attached garage is used for storage. Downstairs
are a dining room, kitchen, living room, sewing room, bath/laundry,
bedroom and a large storeroom. Upstairs are 4 more bedrooms, 2 more
store rooms and another bath. The original servant's quarters
is structurally sound but is only used for family storage
now and would need total inside remodeling before it could be lived
in. It would add another 3 rooms to the total used now. The barn
was once a dairy freestall and is 80X152'. Snowload during the winter
caused a collapse of a large section of the roof.. There is still
an 800g bulk tank here (needs work) and there was once a double
3 side-opening parlour. You'll find a 25x85 Harvestore and a 30x62
concrete silo. A 40x80' shed serves as storage and shop. It has
a walk-in cooler in it as well as 200 electric. There are no neighbors
anywhere near except his daughter who has a modular home on a tiny
lot - she would be willing to sell (the lot or the home, either
one, and she will be fair on the price) as well if someone needed
her place. There are 2 neighboring farms for sale at nearly 3 times
this amount. And nearby I have 81 and 116 acre tracts fronting on
the Mohawk River whose owners want $3000/acre. Taxes are $6000 and
the price $319900.
