The residence

Best Buy Farm - 72.7 acres with less than 15 year old buildings, all Amish-built, yet only $499000. All buildings and fields are shielded from the road so it feels very private, wherever you are on the property. There are 45 tillable here and another 5 that has been only pastured, with 25 wooded, a great mixture. The south boundary is a power line, hard to see from the buildings. Owners here have historically used the land under the line as if it were their own. 3900' of road frontage on 2 paved side roads. A pond in sight of the buildings and a seasonal stream plus a drilled well complete the water features. Of special interest: a DIAMOND MINE!. "Herkimer Diamonds" that is. A decade ago, the owner at the time sold $20000 worth of them, with someone else doing the work - the biggest was 4 lb. The mine has not been worked since so you have diamonds still there... waiting for you to get them. The home sits well off the road and has 1728 square feet plus a walkout basement with laundry. There is an extra wide front porch across the south side. Inside, the first floor has an open floor plan : Kitchen, Dining area and Living area (large rooms) plus a pantry, full bath and a bedroom. The kitchen has attractive hickory cabinets. On the second story are 2 more bedrooms, another full bath and a study plus a good-sized hall. You will find much natural wood forming walls and ceilings. A few finishing touches are left for you to complete to your own style of living, mostly flooring. Heat is a new gas hot air system with wood backup. 200 amp electric. The electric and septic are both much newer than the home. Yes, it has high speed internet. There is a 16x34' 2 room shop, formerly used as a temporary residence. It has water to it and wood heat. Yes, it's insulated. The main barn is a beauty - 38x96' with 16' more in a leanto across one end. Inside is a milk house, room for 23 cows plus whatever you use the 5 pens for. It is a bank barn and has a clear-span loft. There is a large new electric entrance there. Walls are well ventilated for better hay-drying. A 14x45' silo services the barn as well. Machinery is stored in a 28x52' shed; it has a coin crib across one end. The owners are selling as they have to take care of an elderly family member, who lives in another country. They came back just to sell the farm and have priced it to go quickly so they can get back to care-giving. Jump on it! Taxes are $8438.
