There are 28.6 south-facing acres, 20 of which is tillable. Tile-drained land, fertile, and black. Another 7 are wooded with some good trees there. The rest is around the homestead area. You will love the views; they are from virtually everywhere. If you want a pond, there is a good site, inviting you to start digging. Did I mention that this enjoys all the privacy one could want?
There are 1854’ of road frontage and it is surveyed, in two adding parcels, but being sold as one. If you wish to subdivide, the hard work has been done for you. There is a drilled well as well. A rustic cabin measuring 12x24” has 2 sleeping lofted and has a wood stove for this snippy nights. A table, 2 chairs and a futon are included. It has a rainwater collecting system. If you needed more water, you could run a line from the drilled well over to it. The toilet is a clean composting one, located nearby. Also nearby is a hidden underground cement bunker for food or other storage. Now for what makes it truly unique. You will find growing there bearing Apple, Pear, Plum, Peach, Pear-Apple, Cherry, Walnut, Gooseberry, Grapes, Kiwi, Hazelnut, and also Roses and Peonies. I may have left something out; it’s a cornucopia! |
Taxes are cheap: $1200 and so is the price, considering what you get there - $145000. It is in the heart of Amish Country, a very short drive to the produce auction.

#1185 Western Fulton County - SOLD
Near the Adirondack Park we offer this 41.2 acre surveyed property with a year-round camp. The land is all wooded, mostly mixed hardwoods, with generally a gentle slope. Fly Creek runs right through the center of it, so you have nearly 4000’ of frontage on it, along with 1040” on Piseco Rd. and a tiny additional amount on Dugway Rd. There is also a developed sand pit, no longer active at the moment. The camp is situated in a clearing, well back into the property so you see no one and no one sees you. The drive in is level and a bit curved, maybe 600’ long. All you hear is the sound of the creek, yet you are within walking distance of”town (such as it is). It is fully insulated and heated by a oil hot air furnace. There is also a hookup for a wood stove. Downstairs it an open floor place, one huge room with areas for dining, a kitchen, and living room space. Only the bathroom is divided. It is of post and beam construction and features finished plank floors. Upstairs, are 2 bedrooms and two finished storage areas. County records say 916 ft2 of living space, though it has a larger feel. There is a 3/4 basement with an outside entrance and an attached shed/workshop that is 30x34’. The camp itself is cute; the shed is not. The price, however, takes the condition into account. It is only $110000. Taxes are laughably cheap: $852. For a visit, talk to Pete Hemmerich at 315-429-0590. Pete knows everyone in this area and can be a huge help to you. SOLD
#1179 - Eastern Montgomery County. SOLD ~Views + Quiet ~New Home ~Nr. Capital District ~$225000 2 homes, barns, and the world at your footstep. The main home is 7 years old and has an open floor plan for the kitchen/dining area/living room. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, plus a separate laundry. Front deck for the view + back patio. Some furnishings can be made available (2 beds, 2 dressers, sofa, island chairs, some end tables). The basement is full, dry, insulated, and high-ceilinged. It could easily be made into additional living space if the 1320 sq. ft. upstairs is not enough. Heat is from a oil hot air Lennox furnace. Water is from a spring. We will add a UV system so no one has to worry. I’m not kidding about the views: you can see across the entire Mohawk Valley into the Southern Adirondacks from here. On this side of the road there are about 24 acres, nearly all open land, nearly all of which can be cropped or pastured. Across the road are nearly 70 acres more. Of this other land, 43 are tillable, all in hay now. The remainder of these are heavily wooded, surrounding 2 creeks. Very pretty. Some of the fields enjoy the same or similar view that the home lot has. 92.7 acres total. Since it is on both sides of the road, there are 3250’ of road frontage, lots. The road has almost no traffic - I was just there for 2 hours and saw one car pass. Yes, it’s paved. On the same side as the home is a single story dairy barn, 36x80’, with 32 stanchions. If you want to milk, do yourself a favor - remove them and replace with ties. The milk house is 17x18’ and has a 400 g bulk tank, room for another or even a third one in a lower clean area. The pipeline is there though not complete. However, the barn cleaner appears to be fully workable. Just a few feet away is the original hip roof barn. It has additions on both sides and measures roughly 45x100’ with a 20x20’ hip roof section extending beyond. Inside are stalls for heifers and other livestock, one very large room and several smaller ones. The loft goes the entire length and has a both a mow conveyor and a skeleton elevator feeding it. Although you can easily find things to do, basically this is in good shape. A 14x40’ cement silo is next to it. Just up the road and nearly hidden by giant yews is the original home. Built in 1849, it was recently stripped to the studs for a renovation that never happened and is in very poor shape as it now stands, not habitable in any sense of the word. 1870 sq. ft., with a newer roof over most of it. It is saltbox style and stands in a very shaded yard and is serviced by a 265’ drilled well. |
A word on the condition: this was built by a professional handyman and used for his residence until his recent demise. At the end, the housekeeping became minimal, perhaps non-existent. There are furnishings, personal materials, building supplies, tools, snowblowers, firewood - a great variety of “stuff” is there. Much will be of use. You get it all; it is being sold “as is”.
Taxes on it all are between $7-8000 with none of the usual deductions (other than ag assessment) taken. The owners reside elsewhere. This property is only 30 minutes from Albany and should get lots of good people excited. Especially with those views and the quiet you enjoy here!
