The Estate is selling the property AS-IS related to the home and associated farm buildings on the property. There is an old farmhouse on the property that may be salvageable to some or a complete teardown to others. The house is not being considered as a value to this offering. There has been no occupation of the home since 2020 and the well and septic will transfer as-is and no testing will be done.
The property has multiple barn and storage structures that will transfer. The large metal sided pole barn is a 38’x72’ structure with overhead doors at each end ready to store your equipment both large and small. The former milkhouse portion of the large barn was converted to a chicken coop with the milking portion of the barn still intact, but in need of repairs.
There is about 11 acres in fenced pasture, 10 acres in tillable ground and 14 acres in forest with a nice stand of timber. The timber was inventoried in 2022 showing 50,918 boardfeet of timber dominated by hard maple, soft maple, cherry and hemlock. There has been no logging on the property in decades and the fields haven’t been tended now for a couple of years. The open land south of the house has a fantastic view to the southeast. Any new home or camp construction might want to take advantage of this view and capture the eastern sunrise!
There is a lovely, small, full-time flowing stream that meanders through the western side of the forested area. There are numerous minor waterfall areas along its course adding to the ambiance of this property.
There is abundant sign of both deer and turkey throughout the property. Near the northwest corner of the property is a deer blind that is built at ground level with 6 shooting windows and a woodburning stove. This is in a great location along the many deer trails and adjoining farmed acreage and would also make a great spot for an overnight camp in the woods.
The property is located in an area of new windmill construction. No windmills will be placed on this property. The property does benefit from being within the wind zone and currently receives $1,500/year under the current lease. If/when utility lines are ran across the northwest corner of the property, this rate will increase to $3,000/year for 20 years, then move to $4,000/year from 20 to 40 years which is the term of the lease. The lease income will transfer to the new owner.
All oil, gas, mineral and timber rights will transfer to. The property may be subject to a gas lease which will also transfer. The Estate has no knowledge of any income from any gas or pipeline lease and there is a pipeline on the property near the road front.
The property has approximately 1,400 feet of road frontage.
This is a great opportunity to own your own hobby farm in a beautiful setting in a quiet rural area!
