Zoned residential toward the front and agriculture toward the back, and with the ability to re-zone as commercial, the possibilities for this property are endless. Imagine an office, winery or distillery, or country store in the original farm house. Or building your new home on site and keeping the farmhouse as a guest house or small business. Or utilizing the division rights to develop 8 new homes. The parcel has frontage on Route 29 and toward the rear leads up beautiful, rugged cliff faces and mountain. Historic rehab tax credits are available for the farm house! Property sold as-is, the farmhouse is not habitable and in need of complete renovation.
