Description
This large southern Tug Hill acreage, (~356 acres), with structures and remnants of an 1850's era farmstead, tells the story of a long-past, rural lifestyle. The ~1,800 sf, 4 bedroom, 2 story, farmhouse with attached shed (now considered a cabin or camp) was abandoned for years. The structure was partially restored by Amish families who are leasing. Currently, the steel roof sheds snow and water, the asphalt shingled siding has preserved the wood beneath for decades and the flat stone foundation still holds it up. The ~15' deep, dug well provides a source of cold, fresh water. The septic system has not been used in years and its condition unknown. There is currently no usable plumbing or electric within the dwelling. A public, electric utility pole is within 150' of the cabin, the Ernst Road is maintained year-round by the Town and all rights transfer. The chicken coop, fencing, privy, and all the furniture, cupboards, heating appliances, hand water pump and piping, drapes, curtains, kitchen floor linoleum, small metal chimney pipe and personal items will be removed when the current lessees leave this fall. 115 acres is in Lewis County, adjacent to the Cottrell State Forest.
