2369 Maricle Road, Freetown, NY 13040

A fine residential / small farm property located at the corner of Maricle and School House Roads in the Cortland County Town Of Freetown. It offers a well-maintained, year 1980, 1,280 s/f, cottage style house, a 26-foot by 32-foot pole barn, and a pond on two tax parcels in a rural setting. The house occupies a 1.0-acre, 100-foot (road frontage) by 418-foot lot. It also has a storage shed. The barn and pond are on a 7.65-acre, 556-foot by 616-foot lot that is contiguous with the house lot. The lot s dimensions are, respectively, its frontages on Maricle Road and School House Road. Located between Cortland City and the Village Of Marathon, both of which have I-81 exchanges, it is well connected to the world. The house provides on its 1st floor a large living room plus a laundry room with a washer, dryer, and ½ bathroom, and a utility room with a well water tank and a water heater. Also, there is a large family room that is designed as a media room with special lighting and many electric outlets. 2nd floor: A large bedroom, kitchen with a range, refrigerator, and dish washer, large dining room, full bathroom, and an elevated deck that provides a magnificent view across a river valley. 3rd floor: 2 bedrooms plus much storage along the edges due to its A-frame style. A closet at the head of the stairs could, perhaps, be converted into a ½ bathroom. Primary heat is provided by a compact coal burning stove in the living room which can heat the entire house. Secondary heat is from baseboard electric heaters. A radon mitigation system has been installed. The barn has water and electricity. It provides ample storage space for vehicles and farm animals. Outside there are animal pens (the sellers currently have sheep, pigs, and chickens). The 0.15-acre, 15-foot-deep pond is stocked with bass, blue gills, and bullheads, and comes with a pond shed. A 1.25-acre hay field can provide hay or pasture for animals. Note: The 7.65-acre lot is large enough to be subdivided into three residential lots that meet the County s minimum standard of 2.4 acres per lot. That fact and its substantial frontage on two roads opens the possibility for profitable residential development.
