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".

#1168 - Western Montgomery County - NEW LISTING
- 117 Acres
- Farmed organically
- Center of Amish community
- $325000

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
- 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 - UNDER CONTRACT
- 70 acres, certified organic
- Mixture of meadows, abandoned fields & woods
- Views
- $105000

       Hilltop Organic Land – This 70 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: $105000 - taxes have yet to be precisely determined as it is part of a larger property (194 acres all told, so you can buy what you wish). 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 will be surveyed once you have agreed to buy it and the survey will be completed prior to closing.
    

#1129 - Central Montgomery County - UNDER SOLAR CONTRACT
- 64 acres
- 1/2 meadows, 1/2 wooded
-- Hidden land, great location

Hidden land, a short drive in on your own road and this opens up into 3 large fields, about 35 tillable. And it’s all surrounded by woods so your privacy is pretty much guaranteed.  Good hunting. The owner has taken firewood, but the last time a logger was in was under the previous owner who’d logged it just before he put it on the market - over 30 years ago. It enjoys the Fonda Schools and is only 2 miles from the school, and the town, Johnstown, is 3-4 miles. Good area, with some valley views. $120000 for 64.7 total acres, partly surveyed. Taxes are $1100.

#1136 - Central Montgomery County - UNDER SOLAR CONTRACT
- 194 acres
- Lots of road frontage
- Mixture of open meadows and woods

We have 194.56 acres, in two parcels, side by side. 35-40- are in grass hay and would probably qualify for organic. 50-60 more are in good woods and most of the remainder is in abandoned fields.  There is frontage on two roads, 1630 and 3227 feet.  The property has some southern views and you can walk to a good restaurant or a convenience store - yet it is definitely country here.  There are 2 traffic lights and no tolls between here and Albany.  You’ll find 2 small streams and a large shallow pond in the 30 acres of wetlands.

#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.

  If you want less land, we will listen to offers and suggestions. If you want more land, we have 124 acres and a truly outstanding large older home which is available adjoining. Also a 1 acre adjoining property with a manufactured home may be available in a few weeks. If listed, it will be cheap.
      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.

The price was just lowered a great deal - now is $281300 and the owners might entertain splitting the property into its separate existing tax parcels.  Yearly taxes for the two total $5500. They do not take any of the possible deductions.

Didn’t find exactly what you wanted? We maintain good relations with our competitors and, even though they do not specialize as we do, once in a while one of them will have a place. If you spy one, let us know and we will work with it for you.  You have spent time with us so we could see with your eyes. Let’s not give up our good working relationship.
