This ninety-seven acre working farm is a rare gem located on Gladstone Hollow, one of the most scenic, southwest-facing roads in Delaware County. Situated at the top of the road just below the former Bobcat ski mountain, the property offers breathtaking views from every vantage point. The land is home to Evans and Evans Farm, which has utilized sustainable grazing practices for over ten years. The pastures are masterfully enclosed with high-quality woven wire and electric fencing. The main farmhouse features four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a spacious layout, and plenty of vintage charm. A centrally located wood stove keeps the home warm all winter, while a south-facing sunroom offers the perfect space to start your spring plantings. You can enjoy panoramic views from the front porch while listening to the soothing sounds of your own babbling brook. The beauty and serenity of this property cannot be overstated. For agricultural operations, the property includes five versatile barns that allow for many different farming configurations. The farm also holds rights to a protected mountain spring, which supplies water to both the livestock and a large swimming pond. This expansive pond sits adjacent to an incredible potential build site, offering a perfect location for a future custom home. Additionally, the property borders three hundred twenty-two acres of NYC DEP land, with opportunities to lease portions for extra hay fields or pasture land. Much of the land is under an agricultural easement, ensuring an ongoing agricultural tax discount for the owner. Conveniently located just seven minutes from downtown Andes and twenty minutes from Belleayre ski mountain, this central location provides easy access to fine dining, local shopping, and year-round outdoor activities. Whether you are looking to build a serious farming operation or establish your dream country homestead, this slice of heaven is an absolute must-see.
