In the hills of Upstate New York, we have found the complete package of beautiful real estate and a golden business opportunity. Over 17 acres of groomed and fenced land, including 3 private islands, amidst the gently flowing waters of the Susquehanna River. At the end of a long private drive and in the center of it all is a private, modern, clean and extremely well kept Saltbox style home, perched high above and overlooking the barns, river, woods, stream, paddocks and pastures. The amenities of this Country-Modern home include two bedrooms and a wrap-around sunroom, in-law apartment, office, huge fieldstone faced chimney with multiple level wood stoves, an exercise room and utility rooms all in pristine condition. There’s more! A number of old-fashioned cast iron radiators throughout, living room with cathedral ceiling and a very spacious kitchen with Corian counter tops and all modern appliances that stay. Same with the laundry room, with washer and dryer purchased new in 2020. Outside is a huge deck and a stone patio/barbecue area with attractive landscaping all around. A very successful dog kennel and boarding business is included on this same property and is growing like wildfire with an outstanding reputation and loyal following. It includes 2 separate kennel buildings with office, 3 fenced, grassy play areas and over 3 acres of grassy leash-walking area and the long river frontage is ideal for the more adventurous dogs. Several knowledgeable, part-time employees participate in the operation and there is room to expand the business with grooming, training and transportation services. If you’re into horses or other animals, attributes include a barn with hay loft, paddocks with run-in sheds, a 60’x120′ riding ring and a mountain stream. The nearby access to miles and miles of hiking trails is a plus and multiple garages and a workshop on the property are icing on the cake. If you’ve ever wanted to be your own boss, now may be the time and this may be the place.
