A somewhat dark view of the large property directly across the road from my home in Columbia County, New York. Not sure of the total acreage but I would guess it is approximately 700 acres.
Columbia County, New York is ripe with these large tracts of farms, horse ranches and otherwise un-developed land.
This is the norm not the exception even in today’s hyper real estate market for 2nd homes and exurb living. A lot of that has to do with the mind-set of the landed gentry in Columbia County. The owner of this large tract who runs a farm on it, has decided to parcel out two pieces for sale. Instead of selling as small lots for the McMansion crowd, is selling at 41 and 33 acres.
Though I believe the prices for the parcels are inflated, I am keeping a keen eye on the movement as I am interested in increasing my land holdings and being right across the road from my home, is a perfect opportunity to expand my presense and perhaps look at finally setting up the Miyares Farm.
