Property Description
LOCATION: The Bo Farm is located in the South central heart of Allegany county, NY just on the edge of the town of Scio. Rolling hills and vast pastures grace the property for a highland like topography that is simply breathtaking. LAND: The farm shines with an elevation change of 300 feet that creates a highland like experience delivering vista views that are simply breathtaking. The main entrance and approach to the property is spectacular with white fences and landscaped trees leading you to the farmhouse and the rolling hills and fields. Notable is the dramatic landscape rarely found in such a well maintained state. It is obvious the property is in the care of a true land steward, and pride of ownership abounds in the details of the landscaping, tendering and gardening. The eastern portion of the farm rises up to higher pastures and a mixed hardwood forest with a composition of maple, oak, cherry and is the haven for a large population of deer and turkey. Three ponds are located on the farm each stocked with different species of fish. A bass pond, a catfish pond and a Koy pond are here for family fun. The Knights creek stream also winds through the south edge of the property close to the farm house for additional fun and recreation. FARM HOUSE: The farm house is the jewel of the property, with a history dating back to the original building of 1880. The entire home has been renovated and expanded in 2007 to over 3,550 square feet with east and west facing covered porches, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a gourmet kitchen with a high end commercial grade quartette of a fridge, range, range and freezer. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a 10 x 6 Corian counter island and 38 running feet of surrounding countertop. There are wide plank hardwood floors throughout the house that lead through a large dining room and a huge great room with a main floor laundry and office. Upstairs is the owners suite and four more large bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and beautiful views from each window of the farm in all directions. There is also a huge bonus loft area that has been improved to a children's bedroom and play room. The basement has a complete canning center for preparing and preserving the bounties from the garden. GUEST HOUSE: A quarter mile north on the property is a fully furnished three-level guest house with its own pond and large deck. With its own private views of the north pastures, the guest house has a lodge dÃcor with a stone mantle and fireplace, an open concept main level for a chalet or rustic appeal. The loft is a bunkhouse for several guests, while the lower level is an additional space for entertaining with a complete bar and wood stove. Used as a lodge for deer season, the guest house would be an excellent Air BnB opportunity or residence for in-laws. BARN: The barn is a massive two story 9600 sqft building large enough for all and any farm equipment. Concrete floors, electricity, water, a bathroom, and a fully accented meat/deer processing center with a walk in cooler are all part of this well planed outbuilding. A 112 foot long x 14 foot lean too runs the east side of the barn for additional storage of equipment, wood or recreational vehicles WILDLIFE: The farm possesses a variety of wildlife habitat and ample water sources, providing everything needed for the large populations of whitetail deer, turkey and even black bear that call the farm home. The farm has a bonus of multiple food plots of clover, corn and oats, and is set up with existing stand locations and ATV access trails to all corners of the property for hunting. EXTRAS: The farm also has a garden shed and chicken coupe complimenting a large vegetable garden, and small orchard. Flower gardens of Hostas, Iris's, Peony's and impatient's are placed around the farm house. There is a wood stove on the rear covered porch to take the chill out of the fall air that extends the season for enjoying the views of the mountains.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
