Property Description
Discover a rare country property blending Italianate Victorian character with working-landscape versatility along one of Central New York’s loveliest rivers. Set on 8.71 acres (with adjoining family-held acreage extending the landscape to roughly 14+ acres) in the Town of Lebanon, this 3,100 sq. ft. two-story farmhouse with cupola has been thoughtfully revived by the same family for nearly three decades. Five generous bedrooms, two and a half baths, large work studio, oversized dining room with fireplace, spacious family room with Vermont Castings stove, TV room, and sunroom off an enclosed porch offer flexibility to live simply now and expand later. The partial basement, original footprint, and period proportions reflect the home’s post-Civil War origins, while practical updates — including a hot air heating system converted from oil to electric with supplemental 14kW solar — support efficient modern country living. Outside, the land tells the story: a 68' in-ground lap pool with propane heat and cover, period trailer pool house, gardens, and raised beds. A 1900-era barn with dry-storage loft and converted garage/shed with chicken yard anchor the homestead. The acreage includes 1 acre of homesite, 3 wooded acres, and 4.71 tillable acres suitable for hay, pasture, market gardening, or preserving river views. The Chenango River borders the eastern edge, with Kingsley Brook joining downstream, creating a riparian corridor attracting deer and waterfowl year-round. Mature shade trees frame the approach, while the agricultural River Road neighborhood offers quiet country living without isolation. Located in the Hamilton Central School District, the property is minutes from Hamilton and Colgate University, with Earlville Fire District coverage and snow route plowing. A newly drilled private well, dry and wet septics, modern electric service, and quick access to Route 12B place the home within easy reach of Hamilton (10 min), Utica and Amtrak (45 min), and Syracuse Hancock International Airport (1 hour). An uncommon opportunity to own a well-sited riverfront farmhouse with room to grow — as a primary residence, four-season retreat, or small working homestead.
