Small Farm Near Amsterdam With Excellent Hunting And Recreation
646 Cranes Hollow Road Amsterdam, NY 12010
Description
If you are looking for a quiet place in the country for a small farm with excellent hunting and recreational opportunities, this property has everything…stream, tillable fields, timber, trails, and an apple orchard. The 1,100 sq.’ farmhouse with three bedrooms and one bath is in need of repairs, but with some time and work, it could be restored for a great starter home or hunting retreat. Additional space on the second floor could be converted to an additional bedroom. The front porch provides a great place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee. Beautiful flowers surround the house, including tiger lilies and sunflowers, complimented by several apple trees and lilac bushes. There is a small shed for storage of lawnmowers or other outdoor equipment. Fix up the house or take advantage of an area next to the house which provides an excellent building site. Behind the house is a small apple orchard. The front of the property features three tillable fields totaling nearly 12.5 acres. There is plenty of room for the hobby farmer looking to plant some crops or pasture for horses, cows, and other animals. The fields are nearly level with excellent drainage; the larger of the three fields includes good stands of red clover. Each field is split by dense hedgerows, providing screening cover between them and setting up great for hunting to take advantage of various wind directions. Beyond the fields, the terrain slopes downhill gently, with an elevation drop of about 50’ slightly, through dense timber to the stream at the bottom. The Evas Kill Stream is a named stream that runs from the north to the south through the back section of the property. The terrain slopes back uphill to the east on the back of the stream to a level plateau with mixed stands of hard and softwood timber, including white pine, red oak, and maple. Several trails around the property help provide access to various stand locations. The sellers have had a history of great deer and turkey hunting throughout the years. Several well-beaten trails and multiple beds indicate consistent use. Dense cover, browse, and water provide all the elements for a high-quality habitat, along with apples, raspberries, and acorns. Creek crossings and heavy trails that parallel the banks of the stream provide excellent stand locations. The fields provide incredible locations for field plots as well. Power is available at the road. The property also boasts over 645’ of road frontage providing an opportunity to subdivide. It is just 4.9 miles to Amsterdam. All showings are by appointment only, and potential buyers must present proof of funds or pre-approval for confirmation of appointment—contact the listing agent today to set up a showing.
