4837 Rt-96 Farmington NY 14425 | MLS #R1715971

Rare opportunity to acquire a well-equipped 13.1-acre small farm in the Town of Farmington (2 parcels), with approximately 7 acres of tillable land and infrastructure suited to a variety of agricultural and direct-to-consumer operations. The property features productive Schoharie silt clay loam soils, ditched and tiled for drainage. An established ½-acre planting of mature asparagus provides an existing perennial crop and demonstrates the property’s agricultural potential. Farm infrastructure includes two 90’ x 30’ greenhouses with wood and propane heat, water, and electricity, offering significant potential for season extension, greenhouse production, propagation, and specialty crops. One greenhouse has sustained fire damage necessitating new cover and repairs. A 100-gpm well and ¼-acre pond provide substantial water sources for agricultural and irrigation needs. Sale also includes most components of a partially installed Verti-Gro hydroponic growing system, originally intended for u-pick strawberry production. This provides an opportunity for a new owner to complete the installation and develop a high-density specialty crop or u-pick operation. Additional improvements include a barn, electric service, and a 16’ x 24’ farm stand for on-farm sales. More than 800 feet of frontage on NY-Route 96 and County Road 28 provide excellent visibility for direct farm marketing, while convenient access to the Greater Rochester area, produce auctions, and two Thruway exits offers a substantial potential customer base. Property sold as-is. This property is well suited for a wide range of agricultural enterprises, including market gardening, specialty and ornamental crops, community supported agriculture, u-pick operations, agritourism, small livestock production, and on-farm sales. Farm sold as-is. A unique opportunity to establish or expand a diversified small-scale farm with significant existing infrastructure and excellent market access!
