About this property
An established, income-producing farm business on 18.5 acres in Fort Plain, Montgomery County. This property already earns from several directions: a pick-your-own flower operation, a flower and vegetable market garden with an on-site farm stand, a fully furnished tiny home running as a busy short-term rental, and a barn with pasture that supports livestock and has room to host events. The 3-bedroom home, greenhouse, and detached garage workshop round out the setup. Buy the land and the business that comes with it. The two-story home was built in 1996 and offers a country kitchen, 3 bedrooms including one on the first floor, 1 bathroom, and a full basement. Hardwood, laminate, and tile flooring run throughout, an electric mini-split handles heating and cooling, and a metal roof covers it all. The revenue side starts at the road. The farm stand sells the season's flowers and produce without a trip to market, and customers walk the mowed trails to the U-pick flower rows and the market garden. The greenhouse extends the growing season on both ends. The tiny home is fully furnished and already booked as a short-term rental, so it produces from day one and can also serve as guest or caretaker quarters. The barn and pasture are set up for livestock, and the barn's size and setting make it a natural fit for weddings, farm dinners, workshops, or seasonal events, a third income stream waiting to be built out. The 2-car detached garage has electrical service and room for a workshop. The property is on well water and septic. Albany International Airport is 1 hour away, and the George Washington Bridge is about 3.5 hours. A home, a working farm, and a business with a track record. This Fort Plain property is ready for its next operator.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
