About this property

An established, income-producing farm business on 18.5 acres in Fort Plain, Montgomery County. This property already earns from several directions: a pick-your-own flower operation, a flower and vegetable market garden with an on-site farm stand, a fully furnished tiny home running as a busy short-term rental, and a barn with pasture that supports livestock and has room to host events. The 3-bedroom home, greenhouse, and detached garage workshop round out the setup. Buy the land and the business that comes with it. The two-story home was built in 1996 and offers a country kitchen, 3 bedrooms including one on the first floor, 1 bathroom, and a full basement. Hardwood, laminate, and tile flooring run throughout, an electric mini-split handles heating and cooling, and a metal roof covers it all. The revenue side starts at the road. The farm stand sells the season's flowers and produce without a trip to market, and customers walk the mowed trails to the U-pick flower rows and the market garden. The greenhouse extends the growing season on both ends. The tiny home is fully furnished and already booked as a short-term rental, so it produces from day one and can also serve as guest or caretaker quarters. The barn and pasture are set up for livestock, and the barn's size and setting make it a natural fit for weddings, farm dinners, workshops, or seasonal events, a third income stream waiting to be built out. The 2-car detached garage has electrical service and room for a workshop. The property is on well water and septic. Albany International Airport is 1 hour away, and the George Washington Bridge is about 3.5 hours. A home, a working farm, and a business with a track record. This Fort Plain property is ready for its next operator.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
