Acreage: Over 50 Acres
For the most part, these are properties where you can plant a home, keep some critters, and just  enjoy your country life. If you want to grow some specialty crops, those can be accommodated as well. Or maybe you want land for recreation? There may be a few properties with barn but no home found under "Farms".

#1192 - Central Montgomery County - NEW LISTING
In the heart of Amish country is 106 acres. 69 are tillable, 23 pasture and 14 wooded, a perfect mixture. There are several small ponds for livestock water. Silt loam soils (Darian, Burdette, Nunda, Ilion). You’d make a big mistake here judging this book by its cover as the land gets nicer the further in you go. By the road, it has not been cropped or pastured in recent years. Go back one field and it quickly begins to change for the better.

You’ll find views west or north across the Mohawk Valley. There are 600’ of frontage on a quiet country road and it’s only 5 minutes to town. The terrain varies but is nearly all flat to gentle and nothing is steep. Back one field and you are in your own world, with no homes in sight, just peace and quiet.

Taxes are $2020, cheap, and the price is $350000. The owners  want to start a new business and liquidating this will give them a better start.

Club is on a year round road. Nearby is the OPPENHEIM TRAILBLAZERS SNOWMOBILE CLUB with a huge log club house and many miles of groomed trails, accessible by car or snowmobile.
This was logged several years ago, but NOT clear cut. This has turned it into excellent wildlife habitat. Property is located in FULTON COUNTY, NY which has 44 lakes, miles of streams, hiking, mountain bike trails. Total taxes$1100. Price is a very reasonable  $59900., just over $831 per acre! You won’t find anything anywhere near that price elsewhere.
#1168 - Western Montgomery County - SOLD
- 117 Acres
- Farmed organically
- Center of Amish community

Great piece of farmland and it’s farmed organically too! Nothing steep. 116 acres with nearly 70 tillable, ~20 more of pasture. ~28 more are wooded.  Lansing, Appleton and Darien soils for the most part - this is land with a farming future. There is a small creek, a stream, and a spring-fed pond, quiet location with nearly 6900’ of road frontage, right in the center of Amish Country., close to the Produce Auction. 
#1068 - Southwest Otsego County SOLD
- 118 surveyed acres
- 3 ponds and a trout stream
- Trails  and old roads throughout
- Views
- $140000
     The perfect recreational property: recently surveyed,  it has trails throughout, a trout stream, 1 small pond and 2 larger ones, views, yet is mostly wooded. About 30 acres are open, former pasture - and the rest is forested. It is a clean woods without much underbrush but with occasional  clearings that are perfect for feed plots or home sites.  It has not been logged in some years and certainly never by the owner. There are nearly 2000' of road frontage and it's close to Oneonta, with its 2 colleges & hospital. An airport is not far either. Good building sites are on the far side of the trout stream and also along some of the interior roads. There is a drive into the interior from the main road, but the bridge over the creek needs to be replaced first. Inside is a network of trails and old roads. It also is accessible by a seasonal road in the back.  A right of way gives additional access from there.
#1112 - Eastern Herkimer County SOLD
- 60 acres, certified organic
- Mixture of meadows, abandoned fields & woods
- Views
- $119500
       Hilltop Organic Land – This 60 acres has been certified organic and the crop land is in grass/vetch hay. About 25-30 acres have been cropped in the past, but currently only the field next to the road is used, about 12+ acres. There are fine expansive valley views from anywhere on the open land. About 15 acres are fully wooded. You will find a potential pond site, which was used as a tiny livestock pond in the past. It can be enlarged if anyone so wanted. Topography is nearly flat to rolling, with broad sweeping vistas. There is over 275' of road frontage and power is along the road, which is a paved Town road, but there's not much traffic.

Price: $119500 - taxes have yet to be precisely determined as it is part of a larger property (194 acres w/home. The area is known for lower taxes and there is no reason why it would not be so here either. We estimate them under $3000. The property was just  surveyed. To show you are serious, the owner is looking for $4000 earnest money (non-refundable except in case of proven unmarketable title). If you fail to close for any reason of your own, they ask for reimbursement for their legal expenses.
#1168 Below
After 70 years here, the owners have retired and are no longer farming. Taxes are not given (with the large older home and barns with 2 acres which they are retaining, they were $4787 - subtract their value to get your own estimate). Priced at $325000.

#1068 Below
    The out of State owner has seen it twice since he bought it some years ago - and you know what that means: he has decided to price it just to get most of his investment back. Most, not all.  You'll find it definitely priced to go: there are 118 acres here for just $140000, less than $1200/acre. He reports it once sold long ago for $260000. Taxes total only $2436, the combined total of Town & County + School.

        Note: there are gas and electric transmission lines which borders the property and the overhead line separates 2 small wooded parts. You have a right of way through it to access them. The good thing about the line is that you will get to use that land for many of your own purposes and it has a good maintenance trail along it, which gives you additional access to the back of the property. Plus, these lines can be traveled for miles and miles beyond your property. The gas line is underground of course and the land above it can be used for agriculture.
