                                                      “Sold” places will have details left here for a year so that you can make comparisons.

#1020 - Eastern Montgomery County - SOLD
- On the Schenectady County line
- More land available
       This 112 acre farm has far more land than normally can be found in this area. You are only 30 minutes or less from the Capital District here, far closer to Schenectady, but it is still decidedly rural in character. About 60+ acres can be tilled and the rest is divided between (mostly) unused pasture and (<10 acres) woodland. The open land has been rented, just year to year, to a local farmer who would continue if you wished. There are small streams which flow through the land in a couple of spots. More land could be rented to you if you need more. At the right price, another 43 acres across the road could go. You don’t find property in the area like this one
       There is a very attractive Gothic-arched roof barn here It is ~36x80’ with a ~20x40’ wing and it has 36 large modern ties plus room for youngstock in the “L”). Be aware that there is a correctable structural issue in the loft, one that cannot be seen from the pictures. Manure has traditionally been handled using a level push-off. There are 2 small silos, no unloaders. There is also a small storage building, in good repair.
    
#1077 - North-Central Montgomery County -
UNDER SOLAR CONTRACT
- The home is great inside,  large rooms
- Land is rented to an Amish neighbor
-Quiet location, EZ commute

     You need to “Open the Book” here and not judge this by its cover. We have a large home that has been VERY extensively renovated on the inside while little has been done to the outside. You will be very pleased when you see inside, guaranteed.
     The land is sort of the same way. Pastures not used, so they look their worst. But go through them to the 50-60 tillable acres of land beyond, and it's a different story. That is well-kept by the tenant farmer. There are 135 acres here, in all. 50 are wooded, 25 pasture and the remainder mostly tillable in the high lime and better-drained Wassaic soils. A small stream runs along one border for a while. There are wetlands here, mostly in the woods, that may qualify for significant government payments. There are 2 developed springs and a very good drilled well for water.
      The home is surrounded by large maple trees and is quite verdant. It has some very large and useable room. The kitchen/dining room is 14x32', with new cabinets, black walnut countertops, ceramic tile floors (and wide plank at one end). Although there is quite a bit of cabinet space (and 2 sinks!), there is also a large pantry. You fill these with food and you won't have to go to the store for months and months! The living room is 14x20' and has oak floors. There is also a downstairs bedroom and a full bath. In the back is a very large room which has historically been used for a variety of purposes. It could be converted to a one car garage. Behind it is a 10x18' woodshed.
      Upstairs are 5 rooms plus a large ceramic tile-floored bath/laundry. Three of these are bedrooms (14x21', 11x14', 14x17'), 2 of which have oak floors. The others have plank floors. The master bedroom has 2 6' closets.
      The home was just completely rewired and replumbed, insulated fully and had new windows installed. There is a new septic. All the old plaster was removed and new sheetrock installed. Most doors are new as well. Baths are brand new as are the kitchen cabinets. There is plenty of closet space. Except for the fine old plank floors in the original old part of the home, the majority of the floors are new too. The home is wonderfully livable as it is, but there is minor finishing work inside that needs to be done. Heat right now is by woodstoves (a new and beautiful “hi tech” wood cookstove is included just to make the deal sweeter for you – as well as warmer.
We think this will garner much attention and will not remain on the market for long.  (The home was sold off a few years back. Not to worry, the old home was not located close to the barn.)
       You will find quiet country living here with tons of building spots as there is a lot of road frontage. Many spots enjoy good area views. There is a dug well here. If you want less land, that can be arranged. Please note that if you desire to do this, the owner will not sacrifice the bulk of his road frontage in order to sell off just a small part.

     The former dairy is old, and tired and is being removed. It is roughly 40x130' with a 26x30' “L”. Part is single story and clear span but most is post and beam, using big old hand-hewn beams. There is a milkhouse attached and a new 14x40' silo.. There is a 20x80' equipment shed, which has also housed heifers in the past, and a 22x30' storage barn.
        Taxes are $5226.88, with no deductions taken.
