172 Palmer RoadEast Greenbush, NY 12061Price: $689,000

Tucked away on nearly 49 private acres yet close to it all in the highly desirable East Greenbush Schools & the low-tax Town of Schodack, you'll find this Cedar and Douglas Fir built home located in a perfect pocket--offering ultimate agricultural freedom & flexible RA zoning, but w/out the rigid rural zoning laws of neighboring towns! Bring your horses, livestock & 4 wheelers & build your dream family homestead & organic garden while hunting on your own land. The home is solid & mechanically sound: built on a commercial-grade poured concrete foundation w/walk-out basement, a new 22k whole-house generator, two 100lb propane tanks & a wood burning furnance capable of heating the entire home. In the great room a fieldstone fireplace & cast iron wood burning stove nicely anchors the seating area w/walk-out deck & the nicely placed dining room is right off of the remodeled kitchen w/granite counters. Plus a bonus family room can easily be made into a 1st flr bdrm or office. The upper level has 4 bdrms, 2 w/walk-out deck access & serves as a brilliant canvas for your personal choices and upgrades, such as a massive primary bedroom & ensuite possibility-allowing you to build instant equity. This property also features a ton of value in massive industrial infrastructure--including a 1,500 square foot steel Quonset Hut w/poured concrete slab, 2 sheds & a 40 ft heavy duty shipping container. All of this is alongside a builder's dream: perfect rolling hills, a high & dry 600-foot ridge line & very minimal unregulated wetlands. With town approval, a flagpole lot could easily be constructed. You have a clear path for an instant minor subdivision investment & more! Even better, this sprawling parcel is down the street from the 57 acre nature preserve & only 5 mins off exit 10 on I90, 15 mins to Albany & Rensselaer Amtrak & only 25 mins to Hudson or the Albany Airport. THIS property is your ultimate private sanctuary or next major investment, but most likely...a bit of both.
