2177 Quaker Road

Two thousand feet of Erie Canal frontage doesn't come attached to many farmhouses. This one has it, along with about 76 acres and a pole barn built to be used. The house dates to 1865 and was renovated top to bottom before the current owners bought it. Since then they've added a wood burning insert and a new propane tank, so a January night can run on wood as much as propane. Out back, the pond sits beside a covered deck with stone walls and walkways. That's where summer evenings end up whether you plan them or not. The land is the bigger half of the story. About 2,000 feet of frontage on Quaker Road keeps everything else at a distance, the North line is fenced, and the South of the property is across Quaker Road on the canal. The acreage is a mix of woods and open fields, with nearly 30 acres tillable, and the 32x56 pole barn, built in 2018, has room for the tractor, the boat or the project you keep putting off. A second driveway is already in, and the engineering is done for an additional home site. The house and land sit on two separate tax parcels, and the sellers will consider selling them separately. If you want the farmhouse and pond without 75 acres to look after, or the acreage, barn and canal frontage without a house, that conversation is open. The practical side: 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and about 1,584 square feet over a full walkout basement, which handles the storage the main floors don't. Heat is propane forced air with central air, both on a 2016 system, water is public, and the 200-amp electric service runs underground. It sits in the Town of Macedon in the Palmyra-Macedon school district, a few minutes from Route 31. Head to the back of the property late on a summer afternoon and stand on your own bank while a boat works its way down the canal. That's the part of this place a listing can't really describe.
