About This Property

This unique 29-acre property offers an exceptional blend of open fields, forested high ground, and reclaimed lowland bordered by the North River-an ideal setting for a hobby farm, private estate, or recreational retreat. Approximately 14 acres encompass 4-6 separate fields, some previously cultivated and leased to local farmers, now ready once again for crops, pasture, or hay; enough time has passed since commercial farming that an organic designation should be attainable. Another 8 acres of elevated, forested land provide privacy, beauty, and excellent habitat, while 7 acres of low ground fully enclosed by the river feature ponds and ditching installed by the current owner to enhance usability and natural water flow. The property's triangular orientation offers abundant southern exposure along with breathtaking sunrise and sunset views. A network of trails winds throughout the acreage, perfect for walking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, with plenty of room for future expansion. Abundant water sources support wildlife offer natural irrigation for gardens and crops. An established orchard of 30-40 heritage apple trees is being actively rejuvenated, complemented by a high-bush blueberry area with 18 plants and a 40-50 foot grape trellis that, with some attention, could thrive again. Completing the property are two bunkies, a storage shed, and a garden shed with a south-facing greenhouse area-everything you need to begin enjoying or developing this remarkable and versatile piece of land.
