Rare opportunity to purchase prime farmland with 80+ acres of tillable land on the Otselic River along with a Gothic Revival style farmhouse, c. 1875, in the process of a full remodel (2023). This striking two-story house is ~2572 square feet and is currently being remodeled from top to bottom. The new roof, windows, new covered porch and sheathing are already in place, with new vinyl siding being installed shortly, and work will continue to complete the full remodel inside and outside. The Seller is willing to work with the new owner with their choice of finishes. The house will be heated with a propane boiler and radiant heat throughout; in addition to all new building systems, it will also feature an entirely new kitchen, new bathrooms, lighting, updated flooring, etc. Outside there is a detached two-story 3 bay garage, along with multiple agricultural buildings, including a traditional 2 story dairy barn, equipment/storage/livestock barns, including a metal pole barn, 50 ft X 68 ft, built in 2016. The main dairy barn includes 50 tie stalls, Patz barn cleaner and 8-cow milking parlor, and a bulk milk tank. There are over 80 acres of active agricultural land, 35 +/- acres which are river bottom, and the remainder of gently sloped meadows along the base of the hill on the property. Further, high tensile fencing exists around the barnyard pasture and all the ag fields. A large woodlot consisting of a mix of hardwoods, mainly maple and cherry, and some softwoods offer potential future timber harvest; however, if you’ve ever dreamed of running your own maple syrup production, the woodlot features a large grove of sugar maple trees and an existing, newer built, sugar house approx. 24 ft x 30 ft, which could be brought back into use. There is ~4242 feet of water frontage (0.8 of a mile) of Otselic River, renowned for its trout fishing, that runs through the property. This property has a history of great hunting based on its setup, topography and location in an area renowned for wildlife conservation. For the outdoors enthusiast, Muller Hill State Forest, with 3090 acres, offers additional miles of pristine forest with trails and many opportunities for hunting, hiking, camping and snowmobiling within just 3 miles from this property. Additional 704 acres are also available at the Texas Hill State Forest, only 4 miles away. Amenities are available in Georgetown within 1 mile for gas, groceries, post office and restaurant, with additional amenities and activities in Hamilton (14 miles), Sherburne (15 miles) and Syracuse, just a 45-minute commutable drive away, while Cortland is 33 miles. NYC/George Washington Bridge is 3.5 hours. **MORE PHOTOS COMING as REMODEL PROGRESSES
