Description
PRICE REDUCED! Step back in time on this 1837-built homestead nestled among 116 sweeping acres of meadows, fields, woodlands, and rolling hills in the heart of the Southern Tier. This storied 2/3 bedroom and 1 bathroom farmhouse stands as a quiet sentinel to generations past, with its wide-plank floors and original layout. It evokes the character of early American craftsmanship. In the future, it could likely be a seasonal camp with the basics in place, or with upgrades, a full-time residence. A detached garage (20x24) was added in 1995, and a metal roof was installed in 2019. Whether you're looking to cultivate the land, roam the forested trails, hunt or restore the farmhouse to its full potential, this rare offering delivers space, serenity, and a sense of place that's hard to come by. Privacy is in abundance here on this tree-lined road with nearly 1400 ft of road frontage on the house side and over 800 ft across the road, ensuring continued solitude. There is also about 124 ft of road frontage on N Greenbush Road. This property offers the best of rural seclusion without sacrificing access to everyday needs, just with a short drive to Elmira or Watkins Glen. Rich with history, including journals found on the property dating back to 1850-1875, which can be found on the Chemung County website. Portions of the original foundation are located to the left of the existing house, showing that it can stand the test of time and natural elements. There might also be possible ties to regional Underground Railroad routes and more than a century of stories, it's a legacy waiting for its next chapter. Contact us today to see the potential for this land and its offerings and add to the history with your own story to tell.
