Beautiful farm w former retail store, barns, timber & stream
Nestled in the gently rolling hills above Cazenovia, this beautiful small farm features tillable land, pasture, timber, a small stream, multiple ag buildings, a former retail store as well as a farmhouse. The fields lie flat and offer both tillable and pasture easily accessible behind the barns. The former retail store offers multiple potential opportunities for commercial retail business, commercial kitchen, office, studio and/or with ample space for possible conversion to a year round home. This building currently has a commercial-style kitchen, large open area most recently used as a living room and three 10'x10' separate rooms on the main floor and a full bath downstairs. The walk-out basement, with utilities, concrete double sink, concrete floors and open areas provide additional room for work areas, storage or living space. This building features a radiant heating system using propane. A picturesque traditional, gambrel roofed, 2-story barn, has been well maintained and most recently used for processing honey produced on the farm, provides opportunities for raising livestock, horses, storage or additional work areas.. There is an extensive solar panel system in place which provides electrical service to the ag buildings as well as the former retail building. In addition, there are multiple additional equipment and storage barns, including a historic granary building dating back to the 1700s. There is a two-story farmhouse, recently gutted in the process of a full remodel, upon completion of its current design could offer 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, and could be a residential home for the new owner or potential rental income for the farm as well. The farmhouse includes the newly purchased stainless steel Frigidaire kitchen appliances including a 5 burner gas stove, dishwasher, microwave as well as the kitchen cabinets and countertops. It also has a new new 100 amp service entrance, a newer propane forced air furnace as well as some wiring already completed. The ag fields are currently leased on a year to year basis which could offer an option for continuing income potential from local farmers or convert to your own farm operation. There is a substantial woodlot of over 70 acres of mixed soft and hardwoods, primarily including oak and maple, offering future timber income potential. Former logging roads that can accommodate a side-by-side provides access through this diverse habitat for whitetail deer, turkey and other area wildlife and provides really nice hunting opportunities. With wild apple trees adding to the cover habitat, this wooded part of the property features rolling topography, with some more open areas ideal for food plot development, and which creates attractive food, cover and travel routes for deer and turkey. .Amenities are close-by in Chittenango within 1.5 miles and Cazenovia in 7 miles.
