Additional Information
A rare opportunity to own the iconic Hamilton Orchards, a beloved destination in New Salem for generations. Situated on approximately 19 commercial acres and protected by an Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR), this property offers an exceptional opportunity for qualifying agricultural operations while preserving its rich farming heritage. The 3,000+ sq. ft. retail building is equipped with multiple walk-in coolers/freezers, expansive retail space, storage areas, and four half baths, providing the infrastructure for a wide variety of agricultural and farm retail uses. The property also features a 40' x 90' greenhouse structure, offering additional space for agricultural production. A separate approximately 400 sq. ft. seasonal cottage has historically housed orchard workers, offering additional flexibility. When in operation, Hamilton Orchards was known for its pick-your-own apples, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and pumpkins, along with its farm stand, bakery, cider, maple syrup, and seasonal events. Today, this remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to continue its agricultural legacy or reimagine it within the permitted uses of the APR. Property is being sold as-is, where-is and is in need of TLC. Heating system is not operational, condition of equipment is unknown, and Title V is buyer's responsibility.
