About this land

The Hoosick Homestead is the ideal retreat from the noise of a busy world, a respite from daily life in a quiet setting. This 16.64-acre hideaway is situated in the foothills of the Town of Hoosick, in a peaceful, rural setting dotted with hayfields, dairy farms, and forests. With long-distance views of NY mountains and Vermont's Green Mountains, this property is a true gem. The current owner has constructed a 3-season tiny home with modern conveniences. A solar array powers all of the necessities for off-grid living. Hot water is delivered by an on-demand, propane-fired hot water heater, and a four-burner propane-fired gas stove provides for efficient meal preparation. The house is heated by a woodstove (to be retained by the Seller) and a wall-mounted propane heater. A drilled well provides potable water to the home. The 16.64 surveyed acres are accessed by a gravel driveway that reaches the home at a height of land (~920 feet), from which there are spectacular views to the south of rolling hills and the Green Mountains. Views could be enhanced through selective tree cutting. This property lends itself to siting a modern, year-round home either at the location of the current home, on other parts of the property with breathtaking views.This is an ideal property for homesteading. There is ample room to expand the existing vegetable garden. Within the 13 acres of woods, situated on a southerly exposure, there are multiple opportunities for agroforestry. The forest could be used for silvopasture for goats, pigs, or chickens. Trees could also be utilized for mushroom cultivation or harvested for wood products (woodworker-grade and custom cut lumber, firewood). Provided the location, this property is well situated to local and regional farmers markets with the Village of Hoosick Falls, Bennington Vermont and Troy, NY. The Hoosick Homestead is just below the 1,100-foot peak known as Indian Hill. The forest on the property consists of mature red, black, white, and chestnut oak, all important to wildlife, as well as sugar maple and a variety of other hardwood species. Fall colors are sure to add to the already picturesque surroundings. Pasture trees below the house provide privacy between the house and adjacent neighbors, as well as a visual and sound barrier from the lightly traveled Breese Hollow Road. In addition to the property, Landowner will consider selling the Branson 4820 tractor, with only 720 hours, and the back-hoe attachment, as well as the shipping container. This property is close to many outdoor attractions, including the Green Mountain National Forest in southwestern Vermont, as well as thousands of acres of State Forests, Wildlife Management Areas, and State Parks, which are open to the public for various recreational pursuits. Also nearby are fantastic fishing opportunities, specifically the stocked Walloomsac River and the Little Hoosick River. The Hoosick Homestead is only 6 miles from Hoosick Falls, where all the necessities can be found. It is just 7 Miles from historic Bennington, VT, and an easy 30-mile commute to Albany and Troy.

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.
