Property Description

In the past 6 years the owner has planted ~3,500 apple trees (13 varieties), 240 haskaps (known as honeyberries), (7 varieties), 150 black currants (3 varieties), garlic (6 varieties) and numerous hills of potatoes. Most apple trees are expected to bear fruit in 1 to 5 years. Some have already started. The haskaps and currants are bearing fruit at this time. Current use of the berries and vegetables harvested at this time is personal. The sale price includes the planting of ~400 apple trees in the spring of 2025. The soil found here is highly fertile and will support growing a large variety of trees, fruits, and vegetables. Numerous amendments have been added in the past 8 years that contribute to the soil’s fertility, including; wood mulch, manure, lime, fertilizer, gypsum, granite, potash, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and boron. Additional details regarding plantings and soil improvements are found in the Orchard and Farm Supplemental Information document which will be provided upon request. To facilitate the establishment, additions, and maintenance of the orchard, in 2013 the owner constructed a two-story, 28’ x 32’ post and beam wood barn on a poured concrete slab. Features of the barn include; two bays, each measuring 14’ x 32’, large enough to hold all orchard equipment and more; a standing seam, painted, metal roof and painted, rough cut, double board siding. On the spacious second floor is; an insulated bath and utility room with sink, toilet, and bath/shower combination, as well as an 81-gallon pressure tank and 40-gallon electric hot water heater, suggesting the upstairs of the barn might be converted into a living space, deserving the modern-day designation of the structure as a ‘barn dominium.’ The electric utility component includes a 200-amp service through buried line from a meter stand behind the barn. Domestic use and irrigation water is supplied from the ~120’ deep, drilled well located in the side yard, which delivers 20+ gallons per minute via a 1.5 hp submersible pump. Irrigation timer controls are found in the downstairs rear of the barn. The septic system consists of a 1000-gallon concrete tank buried off the west side of the barn with ~250’ of leach field pipe buried in crushed stone. Not included in the sale price but may be purchased separately are: a 2013 New Holland, 55HP WorkMaster tractor for $18,000; an 8’ Tebben dual blade mower attachment for $3,500, a 200-gallon NorthStar sprayer for $3,500, and a 2010 Kubota RTV-900, 4WD utility vehicle for $11,000. All this equipment has always been stored indoors and is in very good to excellent condition. Offers for any or all items will be considered by the owner during negotiations for the purchase of the property. Equipment pictures and additional details are found in the Orchard and Farm Supplemental Information document which will be provided upon request. (Note: pickup truck and guideboat shown in pictures is not included in sale.) The owner will be retaining the adjacent property and would be happy to answer questions and share additional information with the new owner upon request. There is direct access from and ~930’ of frontage on NYS Route 3. Mineral rights are reserved. Property is being subdivided from a larger parcel. Taxes to be determined. Current tax rate is $25.84 per thousand. This unique property offers a great opportunity for the new owner to work remotely, develop an organic fruit and vegetable business and play in the same region, or possibly just enjoy a ‘living off the land’ sustainable lifestyle. It is an ideal location for outdoor enthusiasts searching for the perfect place to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities as well. It is central to numerous popular destinations including; Canada, the St. Lawrence River/Thousand Islands, Lake Ontario, and the Adirondacks including the High Peaks region. Anglers can launch their boat at the nearby Lake Bonaparte public site to pursue smallmouth bass, northern pike, brown trout, yellow perch, brown bullhead, and cisco. The City of Watertown and its International Airport are roughly 40 and 50 minutes west respectively. Harrisville is the nearest village for groceries, supplies and hardware. This is an opportune time to purchase an exceptional piece of land in northern New York, with so much potential at a reasonable price!

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.
