#1211 Western Albany County NEW LISTING - SOLD
- up to 25 acres, mostly hay meadows
-  6 barns
- creek, views

This in an area where you’ll never find good buys - until now. We have a farm, one with 6 barns, part of the largest tract in the area, for sale. You can buy what you want here, up to 25 acres.  Mostly Burdette and Nunda soils. The fields have southern exposure with excellent views. At the southern end, there is 450’ frontage on Fox Creek (only 3/10 acre is in the 100 year flood zone, no Wetlands). There is 1522’ frontage on Rte 443. From here, one can easily walk to a restaurant or to the Town park.

There are six barns here, of varying sizes. A 20x60’ one has an 8” cement floor and was used as a shop. There is a pull-down stairs to the loft. The granary is 16x16’ and has a potbelly stove, so one could camp there in the winter if wanted. Another barn is 30x40’ with a heavy plank floor and a hay loft. There is a block 2 story garage, 18x24’. The big barn had a section removed for timber salvage and is now 20x40’, with an open side. Across the street is a 40x40’ barn (poorer condition than the others). These last two are very close to the road.

There is a drilled well, 80’+, with lots of water, though some sulfur. And a dug well with tasty drinking water. And a modern septic. The lot is nicely shaded with mature trees, an old road down to the creek, and it has a feeling of privacy hard to get on a tract of this size.

The home suffered extensive fire damage two years ago. Please do not attempt to enter it. First built around 1800 according to the historical marker, it had 3483ft2 of living space. 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a fireplace, and nearly 90’ of wrap-around covered porch. It was uninsured at the time of fire and is the reason the property is for sale as the owner does not have the resources to rebuild and, disabled, does not farm.

An exact figure on taxes is not available as, without the home, its assessment was recently substantially lowered but new bills have not yet been received. And since the owner is retaining some land (he wants to control a tiny watershed uphill and to the side from what he is selling), significant tax adjustments would need to be made anyhow. Please refer to the enclosed maps to make sense of what I am about to say. Here’s how we have priced things. Parcel #1 includes all buildings, has a bit over 3 acres and about 739’ of road frontage plus the 450’ on Fox Creek. No one can build across from you as you’d own both sides of the road: $89000. If you want more land, Parcel #2 may suit suit you well, you’d get all of #1 + enough additional land so you’d have just over 25 acres, 3 fields in a very good state of tillage (no sprays used) and views to the upper Catskills and Helderbergs along with1522’ of road frontage. Some of the extra land is lightly forested, but most are open hay meadows:
(Please be aware that no survey has been done yet so acreages are our best estimates. We have checked with the Town and are satisfied that no barriers are presented as long as there is at least 3 acres is sold.)
More photos of the buildings are here.

#1208 Western Fulton County - NEW LISTING - Sold Adirondack off grid 25 acres with stream frontage. This nicely wooded parcel in Fulton County Town of Oppenheim with frontage on Little Sprite Creek. There is a high bluff overlooking the creek that would make a wonderful camp location. And much of a sizable beaver lake is on the property. Mature forest, rolling terrain, and possibly some timber value. As nice as this is, we regard its location as the major selling point - keep reading.

The 25-acre property is on the snowmobile trail and is a 10 minute ride to the Oppenheim Trailblazers snowmobile club with its massive, beautiful log club house. Also, this area features several thousand acres of nearby NYS forest land for even greater outdoor enjoyment. The world is at your feet here. Hop on, ride forever.


 
The property has no public road frontage, however it is accessible by ATV, UTV and it is right on the snowmobile trail, all of which first go through other parties' land. Nearest neighbors are a  private club located on a town maintained but dead end road. Their trails and land are open to members and guests only.

Total taxes under $500 per year. This is the perfect place to build a backwoods cabin and enjoy the Adirondacks for a more than very reasonable price. $35,000. As most land goes from $2500-4000/acre, it won’t last long.
