Organic Diary - have your cake & eat it too!

#1121 - Guaranteed income here! Washington County (20 minutes to Saratoga Springs) - Certified organic operating dairy and, yes, the market is available. There are 60 acres, mostly of rotational grazed improved pasture and a small amount wooded. Flat to rolling terrain. In the pasture is a watering system and high tensile fencing. There is interest here from a solar firm. Just across the street is the Upper Hudson river. Perfect for a purchase feed operation, the seller can provide organic feed year-round. He sells large amounts of wrapped large bales every year and he can provide the necessary equipment to run the operation, a win-win situation for all. The gambrel-style barn is 36x122' and has 50 large ties, 2" 4 unit pipeline, mats, mow conveyor, 1000g bulk tank w/new compressor, 2 large steel grain bins, tunnel ventilation, new variable speed vacuum pump, new plate cooler, and a new Berg barn cleaner. The barn was remodeled in 2015 and has a newly installed outer cleaner. It has a 7' wide feed alley and there is a concreted barnyard. You will find 2 large steel grain bins for concentrates. Water is from 2 sources, a dug well and also public water. A concrete strip leads to a 40x100' Coverall barn, new 10 years ago, with concrete floors and sand pens with a bedding pack and pens for young stock. Used for heifers and calves, it has curtained side walls. The home is of colonial origin and, very much unlike the barns, is in poor condition. It has 4 bedrooms, and 2 baths and is heated by a wood stove. It has a partial basement. Same water as the barn - dug well + public water. There is also a 3 car garage, in similar condition. The price we ask is $500,000 and the taxes are $4719. The owner will consider offers. If you are serious about farming, you need to see this one right away. NOTE: A recently signed30 year solar lease agreement is in place and is included. It will give you a guaranteed annual income of $36000 for 30 year. You can't beat that.. The panels will be placed high enough so that you can graze under them without difficulty. The owner will sign the lease over to you. That's having your cake and eating it too. With the economics of this deal, this will not remain for sale very long.
