Small Farm w large house, barns, creek, and 7.5 acres ag fields
Many opportunities present themselves with this spacious, updated farmhouse. There are 4 comfortable bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a large eat in kitchen, separate dining room, spacious entry/mudroom that connects the main house to the attached 1 car garage, two living/family rooms, a pretty victorian-style fireplace, and convenient main floor laundry room. With 3330 square feet of living space, this house is currently a one-family, but was once a 2-family home with two separate entrances and, with some modifications, could provide rental income to the new owner. The farm itself could be used for any number of purposes: small farm, livestock, specialty crops, horses or home business. Multiple barns are available including a large 2 story dairy barn, a 40'x60' pole barn with concrete floor, and multiple outbuildings for additional storage, livestock, horses and/or equipment. The field in front of the house is level and planted to alfalfa and the second field has a moderate grade and is currently in grass hay production. These could be used by the new owner for crops or pasture, or leased out to area farmers for additional income. The adjoining woodlot adds to the diversity of the property and provides diverse habitat for local wildlife and excellent locations for deer, wild turkey and grouse. A NYS maintained snowmobile trail is located nearby with easy access for winter fun.
