If farming has been your dream, don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Currently an operating dairy farm, there are many possibilities, whether you continue with dairy cows, or want to raise goats, sheep, horses, alpacas, beef cows, or start a business that requires some large buildings. The property includes a 1,600-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 1 ½-bath Farmhouse, complete with wraparound porch, that was built in 1965 and remodeled in 1991. Solar panels on top of the insulated and heated 3-stall garage provide all the electricity for the house, garage, and a portion of the electricity for the barn. An outdoor wood furnace and a propane furnace heat the house and garage. The original barn was built in 1985 and has been added onto over the years to include 60x170’ milking barn, 50x80’ storage barn with a small horse barn, plus a liquid manure pit. Equipment includes a 1,500-gallon bulk tank, gutter cleaners, manure pump, and vacuum pump. All of this is set on 40 acres, with 30 acres of meadow and pasture, on a dead-end road just minutes from Derby Pond and all of the amenities in the Derby/Newport area. Owner leases additional farmland. The 90 milking cows and 50 head of heifers and calves that call this farm home could be purchased with the farm, making for a smooth transition if you choose to continue to run it as a dairy farm.
