Unique opportunity to own a farm that is within walking distance to the Village of Dryden. Owned by the same family for the past 50 years. Charming 40 acre farm with multiple barns and a 3 bedroom, 1 bath farmhouse. Main barn was built in 1895 and has been featured in several local newspaper articles over the past 40 years and has been well cared for and could be used as it has in the past. Other outbuildings include a smaller barn, garage workshop, chicken coop and silo. Smaller barn was used for housing horses and other livestock and is in good usable condition. There is water and power in the larger barn. Fields have not been sprayed with fertilizers or pesticides in over 15 years and could be certified organic. Zoned for agriculture and would make a great central location for a CSA.
