SOMETHING TRULY UNUSUAL: 45
acre small farm with 2 homes , the main one of
which is a quite stylish 1864 Greek Revival, with
4 columns across
the front. It has 13 rooms, 6 of which are bedrooms (3 large, 3
small). It features a large den, with offices behind it, a country
kitchen. sun-room, formal dining room with a fireplace and a large
living room with a second fireplace. There is a 3rd fireplace upstairs
in the master bedroom. Two of the fireplaces have been relined and
are used regularly. All are original to the home. There is also
a quaint little study in a raised upstairs section above the formal
hall, in the area enclosed by the columns. There are 2 1/2 baths
(all with new toilets & fixtures) and included in the sale are
all nearly new
appliances - refrigerator, stove, washer, drier, and dishwasher,
plus 3 automatic-feed pellet stoves. The furnace is new, 96% efficient
2 zone propane hot water with new cast iron radiators (the
old-fashioned period look) and each room also has some sort of auxiliary
heat. Nearly all floors are white oak. Ceiling fans are throughout
the home. Water is from a super spring and there is all new
4” pipe running from it to the home. It will gravity feed, or you
can use pressure. High speed internet is available here. Outside
is a patio area with a gazebo.
The
second home , in fair condition, is getting a new
roof right now and is rented at $500/month. As part of the deal,
the tenants are remodeling the home. It
has a 20x35' finished attic with 2 rooms, plus 3 bedrooms, a dining
and living room, kitchen, entry room, office and a 2 car garage
beneath it.
The
barn is 38x100' and is excellent. Of block and
frame construction with a slate roof, it has 9' ceilings, a walk-up
staircase to the loft, a heated office, and an enclosed storage
room, plus lots of room for hobbies or animals. It has spring water,
and gutters are filled in with removable wood covers. Next to it
are small sheds formerly used for sheep and donkeys, plus a smaller
one for ducks.
The
terrain varies considerably, from steep to flat.
About 18 acres are wooded and the rest is mostly tillable, with
fine quality soils, all now in hay meadows. The perimeter
has been recently fenced for sheep. There are outstanding views
from the fields and a small seasonal stream runs near one side.
It is well landscaped and many ornamental trees have been
planted. For business reasons, it was subdivided into 4 parcels
and it has 3000' of road frontage plus additional frontage along
I90. Despite this, taxes are only about $4000 without the Star
exemption!
There
is more, the unusual that I first mentioned. Although the property
has been used as a farm in the past and can easily and quickly be
used once again for this,
right now the owner has developed a public sports
complex , in a private setting, crowned by 4 world class
tournament paintball fields - one extreme woods field, 2 open with
specialty fixtures and the 4th one part wooded, part open.
There is a hyper fire nerf field, mini-golf, a golf driving
range, and a volleyball court. They offer a complete service,
from supplies, to orientation and instruction, to referees,
with compressed air and CO2 refills and many safety rules. This
complex has several small buildings, located next to a hedgerow.
One is a general store where you can buy golf or paintball supplies,
promotional clothing, and the like. Another is a small snack bar.
Next to it is a covered picnic area, with tables and chairs, which
in turn adjoins a BBQ pit, also covered. There is a orientation
stand, covered, and a small separate game room. At the highest point
on the land is a small hunting cabin with a porch from which a spectacular
view can be enjoyed. Total number of small buildings here is 10.
All are new or like new. The sports complex is often rented for
parties and special events; otherwise it is just open weekends and
has 4 employees in season. The web is quickly becoming a source
for increased business and it is becoming better known all the time.
You may take this business and run with it, or take it in another
direction. For the price of just $349000 (well
worth it without the sports value added), you will get
all the real estate, plus the business and all supplies, including
but not limited to the $4000 air compressor, an entertainment system
with 4 outdoor speakers, a fountain, BBQer, cash registers and computers,
promotional items, tables and chairs, all paintball fixtures and
netting, gates and signage (extensive), golf supplies.... Extra
money will get you the year-old Bobcat 4 wheeler (like a JD
Gator, and it cost them $17000), 4 riding lawn mowers (all
two years old), push mowers, 2 golf carts, and even the furniture
in the home. And, with a large down payment, owner terms may be
possible. Life is good - and is suddenly getting better.

tillable. There are views from everywhere here. A small stream,
2 ponds, 2 dug and one drilled well gives ample water. There are
14 paddocks and 6 run-in sheds. The biggest barn is a former dairy
and is 40x187'. Mostly, it is used for storage and for hay. It is
of hip roof constructions and has a slate roof. An addition to it
is clear-span and is used for run-in but could have 14 stalls put
in. Another addition has 5 oak box stalls and a run-in section to
which more
box stalls could be added. A pine-paneled office occupies the former
milk house. The barn has been rewired, in conduits. There are 4
silos (2-20x60, 1- 18x60 and a 20x80 Harvestore - only the Harvestore

And there is a 2 story carriage house, 50x50', with run-ins on one

are two homes here. The main home is a brick Greek Revival,
very classic. Built in 1830, it has oak floor downstairs, pine plank
up, Downstairs, there are a kitchen/dining room, a bedroom, mud
room, and 2
living rooms. The formal one has an original fireplace. The second
story has 2-3 bedrooms and storage space. The home has 2 new baths,
one with a marble floor. There is hot water heat - a wood and an
oil furnace, 2 of them, use whichever one you want. Its electric
has been upgraded. The attic has
been refloored. The second home has been resided with all new windows,
reinsulated, and an oil hot air and wood furnace added. The floors
have been redone as well. It has 2 stories and 3 bedrooms, one bath.
The roofs on both homes are scheduled to be replaced, as needed,
this spring. I should note that there are a variety of ongoing projects
here which the owner will continue on until the farm has been sold.
This farm is located in a very scenic area with many horse and dairy
farms around it. In fact, there is a very large arena adjoining
it whose owners would sell with a varying amount of land and with
or without another home. Taxes are around $5000 with ag value. $695000
price.

SECLUDED LAKEFRONT HOME WITH 4.5 ACRES ON YOUNGS LAKE
, RICHFIELD SPRINGS :
Do you crave absolute privacy? Would you enjoy living in
the only home on an 80 acre lake at the end of a 1000' private
drive without another house in sight? How about fishing for trophy
size bass in
your own back yard while watching bald eagles fly
overhead? You can have all that right here. The best
of both worlds; private and secluded yet not remote. US Route 20
is right out your driveway, 5 minutes to Richfield Springs, 20
minutes to Cooperstown, an hour to either Albany or Syracuse
and 4 hours to NYC. You will be impressed by this property; 260'
of lake frontage, 1000' of stream frontage, 300' road
frontage and nicely manicured grounds abounding with lilacs
and many varieties of trees. There is a separate 3/4 acre portion
of this property on the frontage with Route 20 with water,
power and septic already in place if someone should wish
to build a second home or shop of some sort. The home is equally
impressive and immaculate with 8 rooms to include the kitchen,
dining room, living room, 2 bedrooms, office/computer room (former

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). Both these have white tile floors. There is
also a carpeted 16x16 living room and a center hall. 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. There is a second full bath (shower only) and another
closet in the hall area. These bedrooms are carpeted. The upstairs
floors do slope in places. Downstairs all the joists have been sintered
and they are level. Ceilings are
mostly 8 ½' high. The basement is under the entire structure
and is tall enough, and very dry (has French drains) and features
3 walk-out doors and windows to the south. There are 2 gas hot water
heaters and one or 2 laundry areas. Much wiring, all but 2 windows,
and the roof over the home portion are new or recently updated.
Outside is a tiny cabana with a toilet and a 24' above-ground pool
with a large deck surrounding it. The home has a sophisticated telecommunications
capability and 3 phone lines, + high speed internet available. There
are 2 - 1000gallon septic systems. Across the street is a 3 car
garage (22x32'), built in 1995. There is a like-new pole barn that
is 30x80' with16' sidewalls. It is clear-span and could be used
for machinery or animals and in fact has 2 pens in it. Taxes are
$4627, with no Star or other exemption taken. The owner feels these
can be significantly lowered in the future. He has priced it to
sell at $199000 and can carry a mortgage for a party who has at
least $20000 down. It is also available with 8 acres, and all buildings
for $185000.

State Forest and is within walking distance of a second State Forest

it get? It is accessed via an abandoned Town road (> 1000' road
frontage) that is now privately maintained and plowed, and it is
6/10 of a mile off a paved road. Because of the location and the
sensitivities of other land-owners, it has been requested that we
do not permit any drive- bys.
I will be happy to show it to you of course and have the keys. Please
note: There is no power - the owners use a generator and gas lights
and stove. There are 6.4 surveyed acres, mostly flat and wooded,
yet there is a small field near the camp. In it is a pond stocked
with bass and bluegills. The camp has 2 small bedrooms upstairs
and a large living room and eat-in kitchen with a full bath downstairs.
It is well insulated and has all double pane windows. It sits on
piers. The camp is in such very good condition that? You might be
tempted to live there
full-time. It has a woodstove for heat and the dug well is right
next to the home. There is a home-made septic system - or you can
use their neat, clean, and commodious (pardon the pun) 3 holer.
You can watch deer from the kitchen windows, great hunting! Included
in the sale are the cook top stove, the woodstove, a diesel generator,
an Agway lawnmower and a tow-behind brush hog. There is a new 12x20'
storage shed and a wood shed. Taxes are only $1500 and the owner

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.

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 $100,000.
This is somewhat private and once was a schoolhouse, though you

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.

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. This land has low elevation and sujper bottom
land soils for vegetable crops. Another 20 acres of fenced pasture
with a creek running through will provide for your livestock if
you wish to go that route. The land is also ripe for development
and enjoys rare three-way zoning...residential, agricultural and
commercial.

colonial in good condition. Downstairs is a large entry room, a
large eat-in kitchen, a pantry/laundry room, living room, dining

to suit your taste.

some critters or just to get a taste of the country close to
the city. Located in the Town of Schuyler, Herkimer County with

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. 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 a new 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 owners
are offering the farm at a reduced price of $375,000

HIDEAWAY CAMP WITH ACREAGE:
Hidden retreat 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 has been dropped
to $159,900. Possible owner terms with 30% down 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 $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.
Asking $195,500. Owner terms to qualified buyer with 20%
down.

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.

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
PRICE: $230,000.

a new hot water furnace and hot water heater and has a new roof
and vinyl siding. There is a new front door and new French doors
to a large new deck. All needed structural work and leveling was

ON 15 ALPINE ACRES: The second highest hill in Albany County
is the location of this contemporary home on 15 acres. State land
