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

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. There is
also another 20'x80' cattle shed. In addition to the livestock facilities
there are two fully equipped offices with all new computer
systems, a lounge area, 2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen
and cafeteria all fully insulated, air

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.

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

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.

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.
