Property Description

Whether you're dreaming of a self-sufficient homestead, an equestrian retreat, or simply a peaceful country escape, this property offers the space, character, and potential to make it your own. The land is planted -- a nascent orchard and vineyard feature apple, pear, peach, plum, persimmon, mulberry, and hazelnut trees alongside established grapevines. Beyond the orchard, the expansive acreage is primed for cultivation or livestock. The property has a proven history of supporting horses and cattle, making it a natural fit for those seeking an agricultural lifestyle. Supporting the operation are a hay barn, a large lean-to shed, and a garage. The home's main floor offers generous living spaces including a large living room, a cozy dining room with views of the land behind the house, kitchen, full bathroom, and a practical mudroom -- a must-have for country living. All bedrooms are located on the second floor, offering privacy and a classic farmhouse layout. Hardwood floors grace the first floor, with wood flooring throughout most of the second floor as well. A wood stove serves as the heart of the living room, while supplemental heat pumps keep five rooms comfortable through the seasons -- doubling as cooling in the summer months. For the coldest winter nights, an additional coal/wood stove in the basement provides extra peace of mind. A small bedroom at the top of the stairs sits adjacent to and above existing kitchen plumbing -- an ideal candidate for conversion to a second full bathroom. Most windows have been updated to energy-efficient double panes over the years, adding comfort and value. Cozy and full of potential, this historic farmhouse is a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of Upstate New York -- rich in history, ready for your visit.
