New York | Amsterdam | 51 Waterfront Properties

Simply a stunning property. You will never find another like it. Never. The owner has fastidiously taken care of this for over 40 years, taking care to always enhance its native beauty. This property has 9 separate parcels, all in one piece, but carefully assembled over the years, one at a time. As each new one was added, it was cleaned up and improved until it could not be any prettier. Areas that were woods became shaded glades with lawn below. If there isn’t lawn, it is left natural to protect Jack-in-the-Pulpit, Solomon’s Seal or other flowering and too rare plants. Located not far from the Capital District, this estate enjoys 2800′ of frontage on the Schoharie, yet remains above flood levels. In addition to the Schoharie, there are 2 small streams and a small pond. There is also 2316′ of road frontage on 2 roads.

There are over 51 acres here, 4-5 are in a good woods with good hunting, and 32 are in fields which have been rented to a neighbor whose payments just about cover the taxes. On this farm is some of the State’s best soil and one field would be able to accommodate a landing strip if you wished to fly in. One acre is a going vineyard which can produce literally a ton of grapes. You should see the view from here!

You will find 3 buildings. A 24×40′ shop and garage is insulated and heated and has a sliding glass door and a full loft over it . That could be made into an apartment. Next to it is a 1965 mobile home (12×65′). It is not in the same pristine condition that everything else here is, but it is liveable and has 3 bedrooms, a single bath in addition to the living, dining and kitchen areas. Behind it is a large deck overlooking the river. In the deck is a sunken hot tub. Water is from a dug well.

Across the street, located very privately, is a cabin. You should see this thing – is has one room, new hardwood floors, a woodstove (it’s insulated and wired) double barn-style doors at one end plus a regular door which opens onto the porch. Trim is cherry wood. There is a separate dug well (lots of water) located near the cabin.

The price is $215000 and taxes are $3458.73. If you wished to combine parcels, although that figure sounds low, it could be lowered further. Please note : the owner has asked us to only present this to cash buyers. And, no, he does not wish to divide the parcels. You may, however – keep the ones you like the best and sell the rest to lower your net cost.
