What's around 849 River Road

About this property

1219 Western Montgomery County Even a poor farmer can make it on this land: 173.9acres, with 110 tillable, mostly in one field, all tile drained and at a low elevation for a longer growing season than is normal in the area. You'll find the well-drained and relatively high lime Mohawk silt loams soils here (also some Palatine, Fredon, and Palmyra - you can get excited now!). Except for the 25 acres that was in corn last year, the remainder of the farm can be certified organic. The remainder of the land is divided between pasture and woodland. Timber can be harvested no but the owner recommends waiting another 10years. A stream winds through the length of the property and there is a pond behind the barns. There are over 7000' of road frontage on this plus additional along I 90 (no access of course). Great views across the Mohawk Valley are from nearly everywhere. The main barn is like new and measures 60x104'. It can be put to many purposes, but right now is used for hay storage and chickens and heifers. A drive-by manger is across the front and solar panels are on the roof. The former dairy barn has a completely new roof, trusses and everything. It is 55x75' and is used as a large pen for goats. It has a cement barnyard and tie's own drilled well. . There is a 16x24' leanto with a pen that spans between the main barn and the silo room, which is attached to a 25x32' storage barn. There are 2 Harvestore silos, 20x60 and 20x32'. There are 2 more principal farm buildings, a 23x43' storage barn and a 40x48 insulated shop. It has a sales desk and inner office. And a second drilled well. The home is a classic limestone colonial built in 1853. It serves as the home for the owner and can be viewed as exemplifying the reason why bachelor's quarters have the kind of reputation they have. Expect messy and dirty and you will not be disappointed. It is close to original condition, slate roof, mock fireplace, wide plank floors, with the superior original woodwork. It has an eat-in kitchen, full bath, office, storage and dining and living rooms downstairs, with another full bath and 2 large bedrooms upstairs. Both upstairs bedrooms have 2 walk-in closets. 2177 square feet of living space and is wheel chair accessible. Heat is with gas space heaters or if you wish to heat the entire home, there is a self-feeding coal furnace. There is no upper end as to how how you can keep this home. A developed spring from across the street is the home's water supply. This farm has been in the family since 1929 and 7.5% owner terms may be available to help finance the farm to the right party. After a lifetime here, he is ready to move. Taxes are only $6500 and the price is $1.2M. If you want it, do not hesitate to make an offer at a price you like - you might be pleasantly surprised. Here is some sweetening: 5 acres on the corner are in a progressive lease for solar batteries. Once final approval is given, that will pay an anticipated $80000/year.
