Have you ever dreamed of living on and owning your own Adirondack Mountain farm? Living off the land in your own lovely, peaceful kingdom? Welcome to Monarch Mountain... with your own forests and fields! This extremely rare offering of your own 200 acre farm in this popular region can now become yours. We're retiring, but will sorely miss this beautiful acreage. An offering of a large old farm is very uncommon in the entire tri-lakes region (Saranac Lake, Lake Placid, Tupper Lake). Few properties like this rarely come up for sale and are passed through generations (usually as 2nd homes). This is your chance to grab this one. Our 2 flock chicken coop just behind the house was the former carriage house; well built, double walled and keeps our chickens warm in winter. It also has a new matching metal roof. There's a wood shed close to the house, also with a matching green new metal roof. And a utility shed attached to the house for lawn care storage. There's a handsome antique gambrel roof 2 story cow barn, and a nice machine barn near that. An old chicken coop/goat barn needs just a little work to make it useful again. One old wooden silo that's too picturesque to take down, so we keep it straight with a couple cables. Our neighbors are educated professionals who care about the land as well. But none are too close by. Two more houses can be built right off without APA permit. One on the 5ac parcel that is grandfathered in, and another further back behind the barns that already has a letter of permission from the APA. (Has subdivision potential.) We replaced the old metal kitchen cabinets with good vintage circa late 1950s metal kitchen cabinets that have a nice vintage porcelain-on-iron, double drainboard farmhouse sink. If you want a fancy, bigger modern kitchen, there's plenty of room for that to be put in the very solidly built front (screened) porch. Some may want to "update" the old house, but we like its old character. We're working on the mud room to make it a laundry room as well. New patina green metal roof in 2022 New light gray exterior paint in 21/22 New propane furnace in 2018 Wonderful well water; new pump about 300' down in 2018 New 200 amp electrical service entrance in 2015 New tilt-to-wash Low-E thermopane windows in 2012 The 200 acre property is divided into 3 Franklin County parcels: 385.-1-23, 385.-1-24 and 385.-1-4. 385.-1-23 has a 24x32 two car garage and its own well and septic (new pump about 130' down in 2016) .
