97.5 acres of land in 2 parcels (the larger one was recently surveyed) with about 1/2 in organic grass hay. 1187' for frontage on lightly-traveled paved road. It has a southern exposure and long views to the southeast. The remainder is either wooded or is pasture turning into woods.
There is a like-new pole barn here, 27x88', and it's a real dandy. It has two 12' sliding doors and a man-door. Trusses are made from 10" and 12" studs. And the peak is crowned by clear Lexan, which makes it almost as bright as daylight inside. (Lexan is a VERY tough material, not like the fibreglas that you usually see.) Part has a cement floor and studding to separate it as a workshop.
The rest has a rubble (crushed stone) floor. There is a new 200 amp electric service, a new drilled well piped into the barn, set up to be used with a frost-free hydrant (included). Included are a oil hot air furnace, an oil-fired water heater, + a wood furnace.
They are not hooked up. Double pane windows are found throughout the barn. There are some interesting features here. A high line goes through so you get to use the 8 acres of hay land that is under it, use it as if it were your own. There is also a gas line under there, but it can't be seen.
There has been serious interest in siting both a windmill and a sub-station here, 2 different firms. You might get a $70000 income plus whatever is made on the hay as a windmill does not interfere with what is under it. Note: no commitment has been made for these opportunities.
Or just live a good life here and enjoy your animals and the views from your new home. There are Amish and Mennonite neighbors so there is a nearby source of help for home building or crops. Taxes on both parcels are around $2300. You could buy them separately (38.5 and 59 acres) to get the price lower than the the $650000 it is for the entire property. To make it easy to buy, the owner is willing to carry terms for a short period for a qualified buyer.
