1850 Farmhouse, 10.29 Acres, Fruit Orchard, Two Outbuildings — $134,900

Nearly three thousand square feet of farmhouse for under fifty dollars a square foot. That math is hard to find anywhere, and on ten acres with a working orchard, it gets harder to dismiss.

The house dates to 1850, so you are walking into a building that has been standing for 175 years. That means something structurally, and it means something aesthetically. The rooms are large — a formal dining room, a big eat-in kitchen, a living room with real scale to it. There is a first-floor bedroom, which matters if stairs are ever a consideration. Three more bedrooms upstairs. One bathroom for the whole house, which is the honest constraint of a place like this.

Some work has been done recently. New vinyl siding with R-10 insulation board underneath, new fascia and soffit, updated back and entrance doors. The kitchen got new flooring, countertops, a sink, and a faucet. The dining room has new gray LifeProof flooring. One of the upstairs bedrooms was freshly painted and re-floored. These are surface updates, not a renovation. The bones of a 175-year-old farmhouse are still what they are, and you would want to go in with eyes open about what else might be on the list.

The ten acres are the real story here. There are established blueberry bushes and peach, cherry, and apple trees already in the ground, which takes years to build and saves you the time of doing it yourself. White oak trees on the property as well. Two outbuildings beyond the house, which gives you storage, a workshop, a barn situation, or whatever the property needs from you.

Central Square is in Oswego County, in the school district of the same name. The listing does not say much about condition beyond the updates listed, so the price reflects that you are buying a large, old farmhouse on a lot of land and deciding what it becomes.

At $134,900, the acreage alone is doing significant work.
