This tract is conveniently located on County Rd. 49, about a quarter of a mile from Rt. 6 and approximately nine miles from the epicenter of Middletown, this homestead has excellent potential. Pulling off the paved road on the left is a fenced area that could make a pasture for horses or other animals that you might want to have on your homestead. Sitting above the potential pasture is a 1,088 sq. ft. Cape Cod style Cottage. The cottage is a 3 bedroom, 1 bath with a loft and is being sold in as is condition. The septic and well is approximately six years old. Whether you want to potentially renovate, remodel or replace the existing structure, the choice is yours. There is a 22’ x 22’ out building with a concrete floor that has been converted to a two horse stall barn and a 7’ x 22’ workshop or tack area to the back. Built off of the left is a 12’ x 30 ’ shed storage area that wraps around the back of the garage which will be convenient to store lawn equipment, four wheelers and tools. Heading to the northwest is an additional area that, with a little reclamation, could be another great spot for horses or a wide variety of animals. Further to the northwest, the property widens and there are approximately 2+ flat acres that could be cleared for more area for your animals or a potential building opportunity if you wanted to move your homestead further off the road for additional privacy. Please consult the town building department for potential possibilities. The remaining 10+ acres of the property is wooded and mostly flat with an elevation change of about 80’ to the upper western corner. The forest consists of a mixture of hardwoods with a seasonal stream and pond. There are also a few species of oaks which can produce acorns that are a valuable food source to whitetail deer and an abundance of other wildlife. There are endless possibilities with this property whether you are looking for a place to be able to hunt and manage your own property or start your own homestead or just have enough space and land to hike, ride, and enjoy what mother nature has to offer with your family and friends.
