45 Acres in Sprakers, NY - $199,900
Absolutely neat and clean, well-kept and updated, this home began life in 1973 but was essentially rebuilt beginning in 2004, so let's call it 8-9 years old. It has 1680 square feet and is perfect for an active retired couple. It enjoys an open floor plan, with one room flowing continuously into the next. There is, for lack of a better term, a mud room that you enter from the wrap-around porch, and this goes directly into a large living room with a gas fireplace and custom built-in entertainment center (included). To the side is a study. Beyond it is a dining room and to the side, connected by a window between the counter and the cabinets is the kitchen. From here you go past a large bath and the laundry into the huge master bedroom, a corner of which is used as an office (yes, despite it's secluded feel, there is high speed internet). Beyond is a wainscoated-ceilinged sitting room and...
Absolutely neat and clean, well-kept and updated, this home began life in 1973 but was essentially rebuilt beginning in 2004, so let's call it 8-9 years old.

From here you go past a large bath and the laundry into the huge master bedroom, a corner of which is used as an office (yes, despite it's secluded feel, there is high speed internet). Beyond is a wainscoated-ceilinged sitting room and another covered porch, which looks into the back yard.
There is nothing here which needs work and nothing is out of place. The basement is full, high-ceilinged, and you can walk out via a set of double French doors. 200 amp electric, plus there is a double throw switch if you want to keep a generator. There is a water treatment system to give you soft tasty water. Heat is both oil hot air and central wood. Floors upstairs are mostly easy-care Pergo. Cathedral ceilings are throughout the home. Included appliances are stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, washer and drier.
There is an oversize 2 car garage with very ample workshop space. Most 2 car garages are 20x24', but this one is 45x45' and it is insulated with 2x6 sidewalls! The garage matches the home, tan vinyl siding with a brown steel roof. There is also a 12x16' storage shed.
We haven't mentioned the land yet: just under 45 acres, it is 2/3s wooded and it has been 40 years since any logging has taken place. Loggers contact them frequently, hoping... There are several small fields, some of which are regularly brush-hogged, some not touched in recent years. Yatesville Creek flows right by the home and there is a small pond for wildlife water. The drilled well yields 20g./min. The road is paved, but is very quiet and neighbors are at a distance. 753' of road frontage helps that. The lawn is large and is divided by a grove of large spruce trees. A large, bearing apple tree is in the lawn area as well. Easy access to the Capital District, 40 minutes and 2 traffic lights.
The price is more than reasonable - $199900: the owner expects a quick sale from this and we think she'll get it. Taxes are $6367. For an additional sum you can buy any of the following: IH B275 tractor, LN Farm Force 6' brush hog, 60 tow-behind finish mower, 5500w North Star generator on wheels, woodsplitter, Polaris 4 wheeler, and IH GT1554 lawn mower.
