2690 Freer Hollow Rd Franklin NY - $649,000 - 4 bed / 1 bath - 216 Acres
Calling all farmers, hunters, and nature lovers! This incredible 216 acre farm has two different streams, and over 16 ponds. Some ponds are good for livestock, some are good for swimming, and all of them are good for the abundant wildlife that inhabit the property. Fishermen will be able to catch bass from the ponds. Most of land is open pasture and has been previously fenced in to host up to 70 cows. There are frost free hydrants and troughs in several locations. Perfect for livestock farming or permaculture, this farm is ready to be put back into action. Hunters and ATV enthusiasts will enjoy the many existing trails and open land.
Due for a restoration, the untouched farmhouse has never been stripped of it’s vintage charm. There are three bedrooms upstairs, and the downstairs includes a living room, sitting room, kitchen and full bath. The wood pellet stove keeps the house warm on a winter day, and will cut down your home heating costs. The fresh water spring flows directly past the back porch, providing year round sights and sounds. Cross the bridge of the waterfall and you’ll access a nice garden shed, and two garages with electric.
An agricultural conservation easement keeps your taxes low and protects the land from development, but there is still a generous 7 acre envelope for future development. There is an electric pole past the garages where a mobile home once lived. This would be an excellent site for an additional guest home as there is already spring water access and electric. The gorgeous town-maintained road gives you quick access to shopping in Franklin, Walton, and Oneonta. Very secluded, yet still only 2.5 hours to the GW Bridge. Jump on this opportunity to own prime farmland. Lots these large are getting harder to find every day!
