Description

Almost 70 acres with a private pond and multiple outbuildings — a true Upstate New York opportunity!

This 2-bedroom, 2-bath Colonial, built in 1997, sits on 69.3 acres in Sprakers, just a short drive to Albany, Cooperstown, and the Capital District. While the house needs repair and is being sold in fair condition, the real value lies in the land and everything it offers. The property features an impressive gated entrance, 1,400 feet of road frontage, rolling fields, wooded acreage, and water features — perfect for farming, horses, livestock, hunting, ATV trails, or snowmobiling. A fenced yard and private pond add natural beauty and function, while multiple barns and outbuildings provide endless opportunity for hobby farming, equipment storage, or expansion. Investors and visionaries will appreciate the potential for Airbnb, short-term rentals, a retreat property, or agricultural ventures. With nearly 70 acres, a barn, and room for outdoor recreation, this land is truly a rare find in today's market. House is in need of repair, but the land is the prize. Restore the 1923 Colonial or build new — the possibilities are wide open. Cash only. Assignment of contract. Being sold as is. May consider an owner finance with substantial amount down and short term financing
