1108/1140 Seventy Road, Brooktondale, NY 14817 - Tompkins County

A dreamer’s destination, this panorama of picturesque farmland with a home, historic one-room schoolhouse, barn and multiple garages spans both sides of Seventy-Six Road less than 17 miles from the heart of downtown Ithaca, NY. Disguised under the patina of time, the opportunities that lie beneath the visual surface of this virtuous property are many. The land features a mix of open fields well-suited for tillable production bounded by narrow hedgerows and a wooded stand of maple, aspen and other mixed tree species on the property’s western-most section, which is bisected by the gently flowing waters of Boyer Creek. With approximately 90+ tillable acres, the land has been host to crops of corn and soybeans in the past and was seeded down to a crop of hay earlier this year. Leased to a local farmer this year’s (2023) first hay cutting is spoken for as part of the lease arrangement. The gentle topography provides easy access and tillability of the mix of Volusia, Mardin, Middlebury, Chenango, and Bath soils that reports claim will support moderate to intense farming activities. Future opportunities for the production acreage in significant for the new owners making this a great spot for grazing, row crop, pasture lands and more. The circa 1930’s home features three bedrooms and two baths with an open first floor footprint with flowing layout from the kitchen to the living area. Wide planked wood floors punctuate the home's living space and rustic flare while an overall element of hidden charm is easily recognized by those who have the ability to look past the surface and see true personality and potential. Also accompanying the lot is a historic one-room schoolhouse with its own well and septic system (functionality TBD) which could be used for a multitude of purposes. On the corner of Seventy-Six Road and Weston Road is a large story barn complete with electric service and running water. Three garages provide ample room for storage, parking, additional workspace or even potential rental income adding to the property’s value proposition. Over 4,000 of road frontage provides excellent access and potential future opportunities.
