12494 GREAT FAMILY FARM AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE

Good farm in a good farming area and it's certified organic! The owners used to crop 600 acres with the addition of rented land, but the farm is just 112 acres (62 tillable, all the highly regarded Honeoye soils, 30 pasture, some of which could be tilled, and 30 wooded). He still rents the farm across the road (50 tillable there). There is a sugar bush and a sugar house in the woods and there is marketable cherry as well.

The home is unique as it used to house a Grange Hall years ago, so there is this huge unremodeled meeting room in an 18x50' wing, with storage and garage space beneath it.  Even the old Grange chairs are there. The main section of the home has 2000 more square feet (making 3800ft2 total) and was built 150 years ago. Downstairs, there is a kitchen, formal dining room, bedroom, half bath, and a living room/library. These two rooms are separated by pocket doors. Floors are painted plank. Upstairs are 2 large and 2 small bedrooms and a bath. The home condition is good to very good and it presents a very attractive exterior appearance.. A unique feature of the home is a double porch, one above the other. Heat is an oil/wood hot air furnace. They don't spend a dime for heat.

There is an excellent drilled well for house and barn and also a dug well for the home. Other dug wells are there but no longer used, including one in the pasture.

The barn is 36x120' and has 60 tie stalls, 50 of which could be considered cow sized. It has a 600g bulk tank, pipeline and barn cleaner and overhead hay storage. A wing can be used for youngstock or general storage. There is also a 3 bay machinery shed, a work shop, and a 15x30' run-in shed. Cows have not been here since 2005 or 2006, but the barn is clean and ready to go once you check everything over.

For fair market value the following machinery is available: MF 2740 tractor w/cab, JD 2940 tractor w/4WD & bucket, NI 5112 12' discbine, NH 258 rake, older NI rake, 50' JD elevator, Kuhn tedder, 3 steel and 2 wooden kicker wagons, new Case 530 baler. JD 446 round baler, Ehlo bale wrapper, White 598 variable width 5 bottom plows, cultimuclcher, brand new Einback seeder, 30' Salford field cultivator, NI spreader (needs floor), dual hitch for tandem rakes, several extra running gears, and a generator. Stored feed is available for an additional sum (negotiable); some of growing feed belongs to a neighbor. 

The price of $269000 makes this an exciting find. Taxes are $4000 and half of that is returned, giving them a net tax cost of $2000.

12500 NICEST FARM IN A GREAT FARMING AREA: Operating dairy with ripping good land. There are 136 acres here with 85-90 tillable. Big field, nearly level, well drained and high in lime as well as very fertile. He gets excellent corn with only 100 lbs of fertilizer - and the remaining land could be certified organic. There is over 4000' of road frontage on a paved side road. 

The home is a year old and the owner invested $210000 in it. There are 1928 sq. ft, 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus the usual kitchen, dining room and kitchen. There is a full basement with 9' ceilings and it could be finished off for additional living space. 200amp electric, oil/wood hot water heat, a 310' deep well with a head of 110' water in it.

The barn is 40x136' and has 60 new ties with mats. There is a pipeline, 700g bulk tank, mow conveyor, 2 Patz cleaners, and 2 silos (20x50 & 14x42). A wing has 30 head to head stalls for young stock. Although no pipeline goes to it now, there has been one in the past.

Other barns include a 38x40' shop and machine barn, a back barn of the same size used for heifers. It has 16 headlocks. And there is a good 4 bay machinery shed.

This is a very good farm , perhaps the best one in a good farming area. It has an excellent home and adequate facilities for 60 cows and all young stock, all machinery, plus there is the shop. The owner wants serious buyers; he is not one for wasting his time with tire-kickers. Taxes are $6000 and the price is $499000.

 RENTED

12477 WELL-THOUGHT OUT & WELL-KEPT FREESTALL: We are proud to offer this operating dairy, currently run as a profitable purchase feed operation. With nearly 100 acres here and nearly 75 of that tillable plus all free and nearly free land to get nearby, getting enough feed is not a problem. For instance there are 114 acres that has been used by free by this farm for 100 years, another 200 acres that is free, another 67 rented (which could be purchased). the list can go on. The owner is happy with the price and quality fee from a custom cropper and chooses to go that way. There is 10 acre pasture and the remaining land is either farmstead or wasteland. There is a stream and a pond, over 4000' of road frontage on 2 sides of one road and one side of two other roads. The property is located <1mi from a small city on a major milk route and routinely gets premiums for this as well as his quality milk. And there are beautiful valley views from everywhere.

This is a well thought-out and well-kept farm. The main barn has 148 freestalls and 2 pens, drive through feeding with lockups, scabbled concrete, curtained sidewalls. It is 88x213'. The parlour is a double six, rapid exit parallel setup with a 3” low line and ATOs. There is a 2000 gallon bulk tank. Water is from a 145' drilled well with a new pump and there is a more than an ample supply for a large expansion if someone wanted to go larger. You will find the buildings close enough to be convenient yet with enough space around them to allow for easy expansion.

Feed is stored in 2 bunker silos, 50x160' and 28x160' plus three uprights with unloaders (16x60, 18x60 and 14x40'). Heifers have their own 54x120' barn with curtained sidewalls, a push off and 100 stalls. There is manure storage of one week. Application as been made for a lagoon, but funding has not come though yet. This could be transferred to a new owner if they wish (no obligation). There is also a 40x60' pole barn used for machinery storage and a farm shop.

The home is about 150 years old and is 2 family. It has had extensive recent remodeling - some new sheetrock, mostly new floors (hardwood or carpet), remodeled kitchen and baths, new wiring and plumbing, newer siding (vinyl) and roof (metal), newer Thermopride hot air furnace with central air. The owner's side has an oversized garage attached and is the nicer of the two. It has a kitchen/dining room, living room, a ceramic tiled bath and two bedrooms downstairs with a third bedroom and a walk-in attic on the second floor. The other side is rented to a single lady who pays $500/month. It has a kitchen, dining room, living room, 4 bedrooms and a bath + storage. A spring services the home.

If you want, the owner can let his cattle and machinery go with the farm for fair market price at the time of sale (additional to the real estate price of course). He has 130 cows, 30 bred heifers and 30 more heifers of various ages. His DHI RHA is 22000, 4.0%BF, 3.1%P and the herd is partly registered, mostly Holstein with 4-5 Jerseys added. Currently he gets >$20/cwt. He has a very small line of machinery, headed by a 2009 Case IH MX140 tractor, a IH 1066 tractor, a Knight mixer/feeder wagon,; a Knight spreader, a NH LS185 skid steer, and a manure pump. Any feed growing or in storage will be made available at below market value

The price here has been reduced to only $412000 for the real estate and taxes are only $4000 (after a $3000 rebate). The owner is serious about selling as he has serious health issues. He may be willing to offer terms for a strong buyer. The help may be willing to stay on for a new owner

12471   CUTS THE EQUIVALENT OF 100,000 BALES OF HAY

Farms 1500-2000 acres, nearly all rent-free. Has enough feed on hand to carry 200 head for 12-18 months. This is an area with few dairy farms, but many wealthy landowners who own large tracts and want them farmed. Located in the Adirondack Park , 2 miles from Lake Champlain , it's also uncommonly beautiful here. Slightly upscale community. and custom farmers are easily available. 

107 owned, with 90 tillable (huge productive fields of Vergennes Clay soil). Most of the remainder is pasture.  Very quiet location with >5900' road frontage + 1/4 mile on the Bouquet River , suitable for fishing, canoeing, or swimming.

Newer ranch home (built 1996) sits well off the road and has a huge walk-out basement, 2300 ft2. 4 bedrooms (11x13', 11x13', 11x10', 11x10'), large Living Room (24x26') w/hardwood floors, 11x11' dining room w/hardwood floors, 11x10' kitchen w/maple cabinetry, 2 1/2 baths and laundry,  sun deck, small enclosed porch, Adirondack Mountain views.  Spring and a drilled well.  Three year old oil hot air furnace and a 1000g fuel tank gives storage enough for 3 years (they only burn 300g/year - yes, it's well-insulated). 200 amp electric. Poured foundation, steel roof. There is also a derelict older home, partly brick.

Double 7 BouMatic parlour with ATO's in a 120 cow Penn State style drive-through freestall (100x175' on the main barn with the milking center and maternity facilities as a “T”) that has made milk within the year. It can be set up as 4 groups. You will need to make some stall repairs and the feed bunks were removed to allow hay storage. Milkhouse with 2000 and 1000 gallon bulk tanks, 1/2 bath, utility rooms, etc. LN vacuum pump with an older one for back-up. LN oil-fired HW heater. Loads of spring water. A stray voltage grounding system is there but is not used. Calf area off the parlor and there is also a 25x30' calving area. Concrete barnyard and a nutrient management plan is in place. Ample support buildings and 8000 tons feed storage on extensive pads. Another large concrete pad used to lie beneath a 98 cow freestall rented building that was removed before this owner took over. That would be a great location for a greenhouse or pole barn. Older dairy and hay barn for heifers (30x54' with wing 30x80'- the wing needs extensive work at one end). A 65x80' barn holds hay, and has 3 bays for machinery and 4 box stalls for horses. There is a 40x48' clean span barn for young stock or machinery.

Do not expect to find a showplace; you'd only be disappointed. This farm is in its work clothes. However, the fields, both owned and rented, are in showplace condition. He takes VERY good care of the land.  Reduced to $320000 (almost the same as its assessed value), with $5000 taxes. Offers wanted.

The owner would sell his machinery

or might be tempted to keep it and provide crops for a new owner.  He plants about 320 acres of corn and, in a good year, has averaged 28t/acre. He cuts the equivalent of 100,000 bales of hay. But he hires some work done, too - the chopping, combining, plowing and spraying. There is much new machinery here  -like 2010 models! He got a 0% interest for 5 years deal:  JD 7130 4WD w/cab and loader, JS 7330 4WD & cab, JD946 discbine, double Kuhn rotary rakes,  JD 348 small square baler, NH RB940 big square baler, Kuhn fold-up tedder,and an AgLand 6610 Mascerator. Older than 1 year, but in nice shape, are: Gehl TDC round baler, 30' elevator on wheels, 6 steel kicker wagons, JD340 offset disc, Brilllion cultimulcher, Generac 8-0KW alternator, NH L170 skid steer, bale grabber, Pequea running gear, self feeder wagon, round or big square bale wagon, round bale wrapper.

12475 PLAIN OLD DAIRY FARM: This operating no frills dairy farm has all that you really need to get started. About 150 acres in size, there are at least 75 tillable, another 50 wooded and the remainder in pasture. (Actually, the tenant there pastures all of it and buys feed, as he has no machinery of his own. He pays $600/month.)  There is a good stream through the pasture and the property enjoys fine vews. It is in a desireable area between two Amish communities. A power line bisects the property but you have use of all its land for whatever purpose you deside, no money changes hands, this is free land. 

The barn is single story and haas 46 cow ties and 11 more for heifers. It is 40x100' and has a 500g bulk tank, Patz barn cleaner and 2” pipeline. A drllled well services it.

The home is cape styled and is in fair condition, 1000ft2. Downstairs, it has a eat-in kitchen, living room, a bath and 2 bedrooms; On the second story are 2 more bedrooms. There is a large walk-out basement with a wood shed attached. This could be space into which someone might expand the home if they wished. Wood hot air heat and a 70-80' drilled well. The home could use new siding.

The owner asks $350,000. The quicker an offer comes in, the more he will dicker as he wishes to sell it to buy more property in another part of the US . There is an additional 12.2 acres, located separately, that he could also sell with this for an additional sum. Taxes are $3000 and as the owner does not reside here, he does not claim the Star exemption which an owner-operator could receive. 4 separate adjoining parcels comprise the home farm.

12451 CERTIFIED ORGANIC AMISH FARM:

Amish farm now offered in an area which little ever comes up for sale. Located on a quiet road, it has 140 acres, 58 of which are tillable (well-drained Wassaic soils predominate), 60 wooded, and the remainder is either pasture or Wetland.  The farm is certifiable as organic.  A Wetland easement could be sold to the State by the new owner if they desired.  There is much water on the property - three developed springs, a drilled well, a small stream, and a large beaver pond (which crosses over into adjacent land). There is $20000 of timber value, and, frankly, some needs to be thinned to allow better growth of the rest. The owner will be doing this carefully, then plowing the proceeds back into the property.

The home is large, 15 rooms. Downstairs is a front porch (6x18' - incidentally, all sizes given here are approximate), a mud room, large wash and baking room (16x30', which could be turned into a garage if you wanted), a living room (15x27'), a kitchen/dining room (14x20'), a sitting room (15x15', with a wood stove, plank ceiling and floors, and wainscoting), a bedroom (15x15'), an office (8x14'), and two pantries/storage rooms. Upstairs are 2 sitting rooms, and 4-5 bedrooms).  Part of the home is new but not all has been finished.

The main barn is roughly 40x130' and is of post and beam construction throughout most of its length. Once a 52 cow barn with a spreader shed, it now has 28 cow ties and 10 horse stalls (2 box stalls & 8 straight stalls), plus a 2 story wing for hay and straw, and another section that is used as a woodworking shop.

There is a 3 bay machinery shed (20x30'), a large machinery shed (22x75'), a small chicken coop and other small buildings. The owner's son owns a one room rustic log cabin (neat!) and a two stall horse barn which are built to be portable and will be removed unless you also wish to purchase them ($8000 for the cabin).

Current taxes are $3952, but will be lowered next year as the owner has just combined 3 tax parcels. While the price of $279000 equals his investment there, he is definitely looking for offers and propositions. 

Let me give you some ideas. 1) He could sell with less land (a neighbor would like to have some of the land in the back should he decide to sell that way). By non-Amish standards, much of the home is unfinished. For instance, there are many plywood floors, no functional wiring, no bathrooms (other than a 3 holer), and no kitchen cabinets. But the owner is an accomplished carpenter, electrician, and cabinet-maker. 2) He can put in hardwood floors, wire it to code (if you buy the materials), or put in bathrooms or kitchen cabinets. 

For religious reasons, this (#2) cannot be done until the property is under contract and a deposit given - he hopes that you will understand.  Also, for religious reasons, there can be no Sunday showings or drivebys.  Also, for religious reasons, the Church has asked that we disseminate no interior pictures without prior approval. When you visit here, you will immediately see that there is nothing to hide and that we are dealing with people of honest and honorable intentions who operate under certain constraints of their beliefs .

12444 HERE IS A FARM PUT TOGETHER RIGHT with just the correct combination of land, barn, heifer and machine facilities plus a super herd and an excellent line of machinery - and it doesn't hurt that it is a Dairy of Distinction either. There are 254 acres, with 170 tillable, all in a high state of cultivation. You won't find any steep land is this area. Additional land (125 acres) is rented adjoining and the total enables the owner to not only feed his herd, but to sell 5-6000 bales and  $30000 of corn in addition to providing his own corn for grain as well as silage. For the cows, he only needs to purchase protein supplement. There is also long frontage on a quiet paved road, 2 small and 2 large ponds, & a seasonal stream. The non-tillable land is  roughly equally divided between pasture and woodland. If you need to sell timber, there is some value in the maple and locust stands in the woods.

The home measures 40x40' and has 2 stories plus a full walkup attic and a large, dry basement with high ceilings and a poured cement foundation.  It is in very good condition, neat and clean. Downstairs is a country kitchen with  Carriage House cabinetry. There is a half bath, double living rooms, and a formal dining room downstairs and 4  bedrooms and a full bath on the second story. Rooms are large and well-lit from all new windows. The windows are vinyl outside and wood inside, stained to match the dark yellow pine woodwork which is throughout the home. The framing of the home also appears to be yellow pine. It is very well constructed and is a real Montgomery Wards kit  home, built in 1934 as a direct competitor to the famous Sears Roebuck homes of the same era. Downstairs floors are carpeted and upstairs are - you guessed it - yellow pine, though finished natural.  All principal rooms are large here and the home calculates to 3200 square feet of living space. Heat is from an older oil hot air furnace (with 550 gallon oil storage) and also from a newer outdoor wood furnace. Its roof was new 5-6 years ago and it has a separate one car garage. A spring services the home. There are 2 porches to the home to permit gracious warm weather living.

The dairy barn has 90 tie stalls,is 38x220' and is about as well-improved and efficient as it is possible to be. There is a 6 unit 2” DeLaval pipeline with ATO's that weigh milk and do darn near everything but feed the cows and blow their noses. There is tunnel ventilation to provide clean-smelling air that is cool and free of flies in the summer. A plate cooler makes your milk-cooling bill a fraction of what it would otherwise be as well as increases water consumption by the herd (remember: milk is 96% water). Variable speed vacuum and transfer pumps cut electrical costs.  Mangers are tiled, so they stay clean and are easy to sweep. A sand bedding system provide extra cow comfort with enhanced cleanliness. The herd is strep ag and staph aureous free here.  An automatic round-the-barn grain feeder delivers grain 6X daily to each cow, just what she needs, and in small doses for better rumen performance.  A spreader shed incorporated into the stable keeps manure from freezing, even  on the coldest days, and your tractor always starts like it was summer. A large concrete barnyard was a government project and separates run-off from the manure and that of rainwater and handles each in an environmentally appropriate manner.  

There are also more 12 ties  in the barn for older heifers or perhaps dry cows. There is a 7 year old 2000 gallon bulk tank. Silage is stored in  2 Harvestores (20x32' HMC unit and a 20x70' haylage unit) and also a concrete 20x70' for silage. The barn cleaner chain is a 2 year old Houle. Water is from a spring and the 2 large ponds (600,000 and 1,000,000 gallons each). There is also a new setup for emergency power generation. The barn holds 15000 bales in the loft.

A new heifer barn is a Coverall structure which is 62x150' and has  freestalls for 75 heifers, drive-through feeding and storage for 6000 more bales of hay. There is a level manure push-off and tiled mangers. You will find this not only efficient and good for the cattle, but  it is also an extremely pleasant barn to work in - airy, sunny , and well-lit. There are 2 machinery sheds, 40x40 ‘ and 24x40' which will handle all the farm's machine storage needs. There is also a chicken house and a small shop to complete the building list.

The price is reasonable - $450000 and taxes are too - $5700. For fair market value at the time of sale, you can purchase his stock or his equipment. Here is a list.

Cattle - 90 milkers with nearly a 26000 lb. herd average (!!!) and 920 of fat (3.7%), 800 of protein (3.1%) and only 130000 SCC. There are 75 heifers of various ages. All are high-grade Holsteins .

Machinery - JD 7810 w/cab & 4WD (2002), JD 6415 (2004),l JD 3020 (1969), Ford 7000 (1975) tractors. There is a JD 926 discbine, NH 256 rake, a 2 years old Hesston inline baler, 3 tube elevators, a Citrix 4 star tedder, 5 hay wagons (all 9x18's, steel - 2 of which are nearly new H & S's, 2 are older, with the last one in-between in age), NH782 chopper with 2 row corn & grass heads, CIH 600 blower, 3 SU wagons (JD 716A, JD 714A & H & S), White 588 5 gang plows, JD 637 15' disc, 2 sets of drags, a Big Ox 18' cultimulcher, a JD 1240 plateless 4 row corn planter, JD Van Brunt grain drill, a 3ph 30' crop sprayer, a 3ph fertilizer spreader, NH 3106 slinger-style spreader (plus an older spreader for parts or light use), Kilbros gravity wagon, a 60 KW generator which will handle the entire farm, a NH L465 skid steer loader, 2 Uebler feed carts, a WIc grain cart (for heifers), and  a stock trailer.

All growing crops are included. All stored corps are negotiable.

12390 EDGE OF CITY 41 ACRE FARM TO DEVELOP OR ROADSIDE MARKET: 

Less than 3 miles from the Utica city limits in a rapidly developing area is this 41 acre farm reminiscent of the way things used to be. Excellent location on state highway for a roadside market with 20 acres of prime level farmland to back it up.

The floors are mostly plank, the ceilings high and there are two full length glass promenade doors in the dining room that go out onto the front porch. There is a 3/4 concrete basement with access from the attached garage, vinyl siding, a newer oil hot water heating system with radiators, a 150 amp electric service, woodstove hookup, an 1000 gal concrete septic and city water and gas. Structurally the home is in very good shape but it will need some updating and redecorating to suit your taste.

The 36'x110' former dairy barn with full overhead hay storage is in very good condition and there is ample headroom for horses. The milkhouse has been turned into a workshop and there is also an attached storage shed. There are 38 swing stanchions and 2 pens, a 14'x30' concrete stave silo with an operating silo unloader and a greased and oiled Patz barn cleaner ready to go to work. There is also another 18'x18' storage shed.

A great place to grow some vegetables, raise some critters or just to get a taste of the country close to the city. Located in the Town of Schuyler, Herkimer County with 350' of road frontage, Whitesboro school district, total taxes $3365 with no exemptions. SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED TO $285,000 WITH OFFERS INVITED!

BROKERS NOTE:  The land alone here, given the proximity to Utica, is worth more than the asking price.

12411 MONTGOMERY COUNTY FARM WITH CIRCA 1830 BRICK HOME:

60 acre farm located in eastern Montgomery County - easy access to the Capital District or Saratoga . It is just beyond the outskirts of town with no homes nearby and wonderful views down the Mohawk Valley . 53 are tillable (actually 60 are tillable as there are 6 acres under a power line that the farm has exclusive use of but does not own or pay taxes on) and 7 wooded, with 2800' of road frontage. More land is available to rent. Or you could buy it with less land, 26 acres, and the owner would retain the land across the road. In the lawn are young but bearing pear, plum, peach and apricot trees.

The home is a side hall brick colonial, built in the 1830's with 3200 square feet of living space. A wing has been painstakingly restored and features the original pumpkin pine floors, decorative woodwork (also throughout the rest of the home). In it is a large dining (or living) room, with one wall of brick, a large eat-in kitchen with custom made cherry cabinetry, an oversize bath/laundry and a mud room with slate floor. The latches and hinges are all antique or reproductions - you cannot tell which is which. Above it are 2 bedrooms and an attic. In the brick section of the home, restoration is still an ongoing process. The owner is working on the living room now. It will have a mock fireplace, decorative panels under the large windows, wood flooring and all new sheetrock. The side hall has double front doors with arched windows - wonderful shape. There is also a former kitchen and a 1/2 bath in this section. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a full bath. Every room in the upstairs has paneling, but the old floor and woodwork is still there. The home has been rewired, reinsulated, has two porches, an oil hot air furnace. It comes with nearly new appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, drier) and a wood cook stove.

There is a restored 36x36' 2 story barn with a new cement floor and room for three cars, side by side, 2 end to end (6 total). It is being painted now.

The dairy barn is large. The old post and beam section is 36x90 and has 38 tie stalls, a 2” pipeline, 500g bulk tank. Attached to it is a 90x90' freestall with 42 stalls, grooved concrete and automatic feeding from a 20x80 Harvestore and a 16x40 concrete silo. It has a drilled well and a pond for water, and oil fired hot water.

It is available with an older but working line of machinery - 2 older JD tractors, haybine, rake, JD baler, elevator, several hay wagons, JD chopper and a manure spreader (additional money). The price is $349900 with the 60 acres or $307000 with 26 acres. Taxes are only $2500 and owner financing is generously offered.

12448 SUPER LAND AND LOTS OF IT:

Plus it is uncommonly pretty. 297 acres, with 280 tillable in huge well-drained fields, nearly all flat. All the hay land could be classified organic. All in a good state of cultivation with predominantly Mohawk and Palatine soils. More land to use or rent. Views are everywhere. And there is well over 3 MILES of road frontage.

The barn is a fairly new 162 cow freestall, open to the south, measuring 60x240'. Cows are milked in the old barn (40x150', with a 30X70' lean-to), in a modern double 8 parlour with automatic take-offs. There is a 2000 gallon bulk tank, a cleaner in the barn and room for 60 heifers, plus 4 pens for maternity or sick cows. Manure here goes into a pit for weekly cleaning. This barn has full overhead hay. It has very cheap village water.

There are 2 40x60' machinery sheds, part of one of which is used for a farm shop. Three bunker silos occupy a 90x150' space. There is also a tennis/basketball court, which not many (heck, NO other farms) farms have.

There are 4 homes available at this location. The main home is large home, 10 rooms, 5 of them bedrooms + 2 full baths. It has a new roof, an old wood/steam furnace and is set up in such a way that it could be used as a 2 family.  The second home is 3 bedroom, 2 baths with an attached garage and also has a new roof. Both homes are in fair condition, are used as residences, and both have their own dug wells. Additionally, there is a double wide on the property. They don't own that home, but do own the land, septic and water there. That can give a new owner some rental income or he could ask that it be removed and then install his own home there.

Available for additional money is a large Victorian on 6 acres with a small barn and a large older machinery shed. It is in nice condition and would make a good owner's home. Also, from another owner, but nearly adjoining is a very nice home for only $135000 which is on 1.3 acres, has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 24x72' shop/heated recreation room.

142 acre farm at town's edge has 90-106 tillable, depending upon who you ask.  10 acres are wooded and the remainder is pasture.
