8855 State Rd, Colden, NY 14033

Set along a quiet stretch of State Road in the heart of Colden, this property carries a unique sense of character shaped by both documented history and generations of local storytelling. According to long-standing town lore, the building may once have served as a creamery and later a small brewery during Colden’s early agricultural and small-industry era. While no formal records confirm these uses, the stories have become part of the property’s identity and reflect the rural heritage of the area. What is well documented is the property’s more recent evolution. For 40 years, the site was home to the successful Maybach Small Engine Repair Shop, a trusted local business that has since relocated to Maltby Road. The owner also lived on-site in the attached 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence built in 2000, with 2nd flr added 2004 and fam rm 2009.. Inside, the home offers a warm retreat with a wood-burning stove, an efficient kitchen, and a dining area that also functions as office space. A spiral staircase leads to three spacious second-floor bedrooms, each with access to an exterior staircase and a small private deck. The layout provides comfort, practicality, and a welcoming sense of space. A major highlight is the 24×60 heated garage/shop with electric, providing approximately 1,440 sq. ft. of versatile, climate-controlled workspace. This expansive area is ideal for tradespeople, hobbyists, small-business owners, or anyone needing substantial indoor shop with reliable power and year-round usability. Outside, the backyard is private and inviting with a patio, fencing, and a storage shed. The property also backs directly to Park, offering convenient access to green space, trails, and seasonal activities. With its flexible layout, rich local lore, and prime location, this property is an excellent opportunity for an entrepreneur. A coffee shop would be a perfect fit—skiers can grab gear next door and stop in on their way to area resorts, or visitors can drop by after hiking, biking, skiing, or fishing at nearby Spraguebrook Park. Whether you lean into its rumored past or envision a new future, this property is ready for its next chapter. Also listed as B1701293
