Highly scenic farm w/multiple homes features 31 acres of river $650,000

River Home Off Market

Highly scenic farm w/multiple homes features 31 acres of river flats, land capable of a 30 ton corn yield. Many buildings, mostly new. 3671' of road frontage and another 4100 'on the Mettawee River, where one can swim and fish. A low 250' elevation means far warmer weather and a longer growing season than you'd expect this far north. Mountain views are everywhere. It sports varied terrain with maybe 1/2 wooded. There are small amounts of Wetlands and a never-failing spring that easily services all homes and dairy barns. 70 acres of Organic-certified cropland + pastures. As the owners have lots of land to rent nearby, they pasture some of their own crop land. - A neighbor allows them to use his crop land and in exchange gets a few hours of help from the owners and the right to tap some of their sugar bush, a handshake agreement. There are 1300 taps and a sugar house on the property. There are some new seedings and 4.5 acres of winter spells and almost no stones here. Vergennes clay soil on the uplands and Hamlin & Teel silt loams on the river bottom. - - - - - There are two complete sets of buildings, I will discuss them separately as they are separated by the road, which would make an obvious division line if a new owner wished to subdivide. - - - The Main Side - The main home is < 7 years old as are all the buildings other than part of the barn. The home sits well off the road and - has ~2300 ft2 of living space + a huge laundry / storage room in addition. A 10' wide front porch affords wood and ice storage underneath it. Downstairs, all floors are red oak with painted plyboard upstairs, where are located 4 bedrooms and a storage room (positioned to serve as an upstairs bath). Downstairs, there is an open floor plan with the kitchen, dining area and living rooms forming an "L". Double doors open to the master bedroom. And a pantry is off the kitchen. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - The dairy barn is 38x66' with 31 tie stalls; a milk house and ice house are attached on one side (with a 16' leanto). On the other side, a hay barn (the only old building here) is attached. It is 36x100' and has a - 16' leanto addition for machinery storage. There are 12x45 and 14x50' silos. 8 straight horse stalls are also in the barn. - - - - - - - There are many like-new barns for other purposes: a 28x40' - barn intended to be used as a shop, a 26x60' machinery shed (it also has 4 straight horse stalls), a 32x50' bandsaw mill, and a 20x72' circular saw mill with attached sawdust room. There is also 20x32' drive-through corn crib. - - - - - - - - - Across the road is another complete farmstead, part of the property. The main home is an older colonial in good shape. At one end is a 28x28' 2 car garage now used as a shop. It adjoins the main home (2598 ft2). First, you will enter an enclosed heated porch with a family room off this. This room has oak floors with some tasteful ceramic tile and also a sink. Then you enter the original part of the home which has a U-shaped open floor plan: kitchen / dining room with a step-down to the living room which features a painted paneled cathedral ceiling. Floors are either stained and finished plywood or painted plywood. A master bedroom with double doors is off this area. Upstairs: 4 bedrooms & a storeroom. At the far end is a laundry /woodshed which measures an incredible 30x34'. It has its own attic. Adding it to the size of the main home would give us a 3600ft2 home. - - - - - - Just - to the right of the main home is small building now used for storage, but was rented in the recent past as a one bath, one room home. - - - Outbuildings include a 30x84' three sided machinery shed and of course the dairy barn, a beautiful 66x66' building with a bank entrance to a full loft. Underneath are 29 cow stalls, 8 calf stalls and 9 straight horse stalls. There is a leanto across one end. It has 2 silos. - - - - - - - Also in this location is the "Dowdy House" (30x38', 2280ft2). - - - - Please call us for the rest of the details: there is not enough space available to tell all abou VINYARDS CHOICE - Company/Franchise Name
