We will be offering a farm consisting of a 1.5 story home, a great old barn, and approximately 34 acres of land. This farm has easy access to the Dansville State Game Area(click link) via an easement across the road from the property. This area is a hunter's paradise and is loaded with wildlife including rabbits, deer, turkey, geese, pheasants, ducks, etc. There are around 15-16 tillable acres, a pond, natural wetland, potential veneer timber, pines, etc...
