3606 Knights Creek Rd, Scio, NY 14880

Estate farm on acreage with spectacular views with guest house

LOCATION: The Bo Farm is located in the South central heart of Allegany county, NY just on the edge of the town of Scio. Rolling hills and vast pastures grace the property for a highland like topography that is simply breathtaking. LAND: The farm shines with an elevation change of 300 feet that creates a highland like experience delivering vista views that are simply breathtaking. The main entrance and approach to the property is spectacular with white fences and landscaped trees leading you to the farmhouse and the rolling hills and fields. Notable is the dramatic landscape rarely found in such a well maintained state. It is obvious the property is in the care of a true land steward, and pride of ownership abounds in the details of the landscaping, tendering and gardening. The eastern portion of the farm rises up to higher pastures and a mixed hardwood forest with a composition of maple, oak, cherry and is the haven for a large population of deer and turkey. Three ponds are located on the farm each stocked with different species of fish. A bass pond, a catfish pond and a Koy pond are here for family fun. The Knights creek stream also winds through the south edge of the property close to the farm house for additional fun and recreation. FARM HOUSE: The farm house is the jewel of the property, with a history dating back to the original building of 1880. The entire home has been renovated and expanded in 2007 to over 3,550 square feet with east and west facing covered porches, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a gourmet kitchen with a high end commercial grade quartette of a fridge, range, range and freezer. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a 10 x 6 Corian counter island and 38 running feet of surrounding countertop. There are wide plank hardwood floors throughout the house that lead through a large dining room and a huge great room with a main floor laundry and office. Upstairs is the owners suite and four more large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and beautiful views from each window of the farm in all directions. There is also a huge bonus loft area that has been improved to a children's bedroom and play room. The basement has a complete canning center for preparing and preserving the bounties from the garden. GUEST HOUSE: A quarter mile north on the property is a fully furnished three-level guest house with its own pond and large deck. With its own private views of the north pastures, the guest house has a lodge dÃcor with a stone mantle and fireplace, an open concept main level for a chalet or rustic appeal. The loft is a bunkhouse for several guests, while the lower level is an additional space for entertaining with a complete bar and wood stove. Used as a lodge for deer season, the guest house would be an excellent Air BnB opportunity or residence for in-laws. BARN: The barn is a massive two story 9600 sqft building large enough for all and any farm equipment. Concrete floors, electricity, water, a bathroom, and a fully accented meat/deer processing center with a walk in cooler are all part of this well planed outbuilding. A 112 foot long x 14 foot lean too runs the east side of the barn for additional storage of equipment, wood or recreational vehicles WILDLIFE: The farm possesses a variety of wildlife habitat and ample water sources, providing everything needed for the large populations of whitetail deer, turkey and even black bear that call the farm home. The farm has a bonus of multiple food plots of clover, corn and oats, and is set up with existing stand locations and ATV access trails to all corners of the property for hunting. EXTRAS: The farm also has a garden shed and chicken coupe complimenting a large vegetable garden, and small orchard. Flower gardens of Hostas, Iris's, Peony's and impatient's are placed around the farm house. There is a wood stove on the rear covered porch to take the chill out of the fall air that extends the season for enjoying the views of the mountains.
