A 150-year-old farmhouse on 4 acres with a working-scale barn, public water, and a price of $55 per square foot in a zip code where the median runs $108. That spread is what stops you here. This is not a small lot with a sentimental old house on it. It is a corner parcel with a mix of woods and tillable land, a 30x45 metal barn sitting on a concrete slab, and a 1,792 square foot farmhouse built in 1875.
The barn alone changes what this land can do. That footprint, on a poured slab, handles real equipment, real storage, real animals. You could run a small operation from it. You could use it as a workshop. You could park everything you own in it and still have room. Whatever you were going to build a barn for somewhere else, this one is already here.
The land is split between wooded sections and tillable ground, which gives you options a purely wooded lot would not. Garden at a serious scale. Keep animals. Grow something. Or just have the woods as a back edge and the open ground closer in. Four acres on a rural corner with that kind of variety is not nothing.
The house is the part that needs honest attention. The listing says it needs the right buyer, which is real estate language for: expect work. No renovation history is disclosed, no system dates on the heating, electrical, or plumbing. Built in 1875, so you are walking into a structure that has had 150 years of decisions made inside it, some good, some probably not. Budget for surprises. Get a thorough inspection before you commit to anything.
One other thing worth knowing: the current tax assessment is based on the original 130-plus acre parcel this land was carved from. Once the town reassesses after the sale, the tax bill is expected to drop. By how much is not stated, but the current number is inflated relative to what you are actually buying.
At $99,000, this is a place to build something real. Farm, homestead, workshop, all of the above. The price makes the project possible.
