1187 County Route 31

The Black Creek Headwaters Farm is 216 acres of picturesque farm and forestland in the Town of Hebron in Washington County. Located on County Route 31, a quiet year-round road, the 1860's farmhouse welcomes you, with views of a beaver pond, hayfields, and rolling hills with ever-changing colors. With its history of outstanding stewardship, natural aesthetic features, and widespread access across the acreage, this property lends itself to a variety of commercial endeavors. In addition to its agricultural potential, this scenic farm could serve as a venue for agritourism, glamping, weddings, or retreats, among other possibilities. The farmhouse is an ~2,847 sqft home with 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, which has been modernized over time, yet retains its rural character. Notable features include a grand fireplace and hearth, modern kitchen and dining area, sunroom, and secluded deck. Adjacent to the farmhouse is a 980 sqft ''in-law'' house, a modern ranch-style home with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. This would be ideal for those who want to downsize and be amongst family in a rural setting, or this separate home could be used as a long- or short-term rental. The Black Creek Headwaters Farm is an operating farm, enjoying the tax benefits of an agricultural exemption while producing a modest income with the sale of hay and suckling pigs. There are ~40 acres of well-maintained hayfields and pastures, with some fenced fields used in the past for horses. A 46' x 38' steel barn, with hayloft, was built in recent years to house horses, and is currently being used for the breeding of suckling pigs. The remainder of the property is mostly forested, with a majority of the forestland enrolled under real Property Tax Law 480a. 480a allows for the reduced tax assessment of qualifying forestland and subsequently lower school and property taxes for the long-term engagement of proper forest management.
