AND, this well- cared for farm is located on a paved, town-maintained, dead end road. Try to find that elsewhere!

OFF THE MARKET - AFTER SEVERAL YEARS, OFF & ON, THE OWNERS HAVE ONCE MORE CHANGED THEIR MINDS ABOUT SELLING
#1158. Eastern Montgomery County. This large farm used to milk over 200 cows but now raises heifers (150 of them) and sells hay. Everything is there to milk again and is “ready to go” or you could do beef as well as continue with the heifers and hay.

There are 277 acres and a good 160 or more are cropped with another 40 used as pasture. I estimate 35 more in woods + a small bit of wasteland. Good sized fields and nothing steep, in a good state of cultivation, clay and silt soils. And there are nearly 2.4 miles of road frontage in a growing area. The land lies in several parcels and is mostly contiguous, giving a new owner options for instant subdivision if that’s what they want to do.. (What isn’t contagious is real close.)
There are 2 good homes. One is a 2450 ft2 home with new hardwood floors, 3 bedrooms and a single bath, oil hot water heat, currently rented to good tenants at $750/month. The owner’s home is larger,; 3200ft2 and was extensively remodeled some years ago. Wall to wall carpeting throughout, vinyl siding, everything nice. There is a large mud room/laundry and a utility room, an open concert dining/kitchen/living room plus a larger second living room downstairs, along with a full bath. Another full bath and 4 bedrooms are upstairs. Heat is oil hot air. The homes are serviced by a 200’ drilled well and there are also dug wells and a paved circular drive. An in-ground pool has not been used recently. There is a 3 car garage, an oversize one car garage and a storage building plus a 26x72’ pole barn for machinery, all on this side of the road.
Across the road are more buildings, a 104x104’ Penn State style freestall with 150 stalls, a 54x74’ pole barn for hay and machinery, a 3 bay commodity shed and the old barn complex (in good condition). It has 36 stalls, head to head, and in a newer wing is housed a holding area and a double 8 milking parlour with ATO’s, CIP, meters for SCC and milk weights. The bulk tanks holds 3000 gallons. There is also a 30x80’ loafing shed. There are 2 24x70 silos and a 60x150’ bunker silo for wet feed storage.
The price is about what the Town feels it is worth, $799000. Offers? Forget it; they were infuriated when someone finally made an offer. Taxes are $17000.
Available at private treaty are the feed and the heifers as well as a super and very long line of machinery, 10 tractors 5 skid steers.. well, here’s the list. It’s impressive.

Multi-Purpose Farm with 234 Acres This lies on a very lightly-traveled road, on which it has more than a mile of frontage. the topography varies from nearly level to side hill. There are 100 acres here rented to another farmer (if you buy it, the lease will be broken - he will stay on if you wish - or use it for your own purposes).

This land could be classified organic if someone did the paperwork. There is a pond and a stream and you may enjoy a long view from many locations on the property.
