12436 ONEIDA COUNTY 1795 BRICK COLONIAL, HORSE FARM AND B&B:   Just minutes from the 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 IS REDUCED TO $329,000

12381 SPANKING NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART MULTI-PURPOSE COMPLEX: Rare opportunity here to own one of the largest and best known livestock markets in the entire northeast. Welch's Livestock Market (founded 1960) built this over 18,000 square foot auction complex to replace the original barn lost to a devastating fire in 2004 at a cost of appoximately $1,000,000.

The auction area alone is 72'x90' with an 18' ceiling, the pen area is 81'x81'x12' and the milking barn is 42'x81'x12' all with more than adequate loading docks and Toledo scales.

All this on 55 rolling acres consisting of 26 acres of cropland and 29 of pasture. The town has shown interest in purchasing a gravel pit on the property.

Due to it's clear span construction the complex could easily be converted for any number of warehouse or manufacturing enterprises, even a horse stable and indoor riding arena. It is centrally located at West Edmeston on State Route 8 with easy access to both Interstate 88 and 90. The retiring owners have substantially reduced the asking price to $495,000.

 

 


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 rv SH Bthe 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 $179000 and can carry a mortgage for a worthy party who has at least $20000 down. It is also available with 8 acres, and all buildings for $159000.

 


12363 ATTRACTIVE DUPLEX WITH STOREFRONT FISH MARKET AND TAKE-OUT RESTAURANT:  Located in Little Falls in southern Herkimer County, officially the smallest city in the state of New York, and a block away from Rotary Park and the yacht wharf on the Erie Canal you will find this thriving family run fish market and take-out restaurant business below an immaculately kept duplex home. The owners live in one side and run the business and rent out the other side for $450/month, including utilities. The large attic has been wired and plumbed for a third apartment or additional living space for the owner's living quarters but remains to be finished. Both apartments are identical with a kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms and bath with common access to a second story enclosed front porch and rear deck. On the ground floor are two storefronts. One side is where the owners have their fish market and take-out business and on the other side they run another small shop which could easily be turned into a dining area for the restaurant if a new owner so desired. The building itself sits on a 45'x150' lot on the outskirts of town and glows with the pride of ownership. The store level is completely brick fronted with built-in flower boxes and the rest of the building has been completely resided with real cedar clapboards. There is also a brand new roof. The small backyard is all well kept rock gardens--no lawn to mow here. Each apartment and the storefront has it's own 200 amp electric service and water and gas meters. There is a separate gas hot water furnace and hot water heater for each apartment, the restaurant being heated with it's own gas hot air system. Water, natural gas and sewers are all provided by the city and their is ample parking to service the business. The fish market and takeout business was established 12 years ago and has a loyal local clientele that come from miles around. In the last few years, with the advent of the nearby yacht wharf, they have begun to see a lot more transient business also from travelers on the canal system. The owners are selling so that they may pursue other business interests. Included in the sale are the stove, refridgerator and washer and dryer in each of the apartments and the complete line of restaurant and kitchen equipment, with an estimated value of over $50,000, needed to keep the business going. The sellers have also generously offered to help break in a new owner. The full list of equipment and income and expense figures will be provided to serious buyers. Total taxes are a surprisingly low $1250 and the asking price has been reduced to $205,000.
