507 & 525 Ames Rd , Potsdam, NY 13676(Saint Lawrence County)

EXTRAORDINARY AND DIVERSE 38-ACRE ESTATE. Former home to the Trout Brook Veterinary Clinic and Belgian Draft show horses, with a 2,816 sq ft civil war era brick farmhouse and two income generating rental apartments. The property is stunning in person with maple trees lining the road on both sides stretching for a half mile, rolling hills, two-acre manmade pond, apple trees, pastures, and a year-round brook. The former clinic facility was built in 1979 and offers nearly 5,000 sq ft to include the horse barn/stables with outdoor practice pen and paddocks, two apartments (fully updated in 2012), and attached 30'x50'x25' heated garage with two forms of heat and back-up propane generator. The main brick house received a complete overhaul and additions from 1983-1987 to include a craftsman style master suite, solarium entry, and den. Original period details remain in the dining and living room featuring (rare) curved cornered walls, antique light fixtures, hardwood flooring and moldings. The second-floor bedrooms are sizeable with wall-to-wall closets and plank flooring. The two apartments are attached to the former clinic facility and consist of a 2-bedroom 1 bath featuring a hot tub with enclosed sunroom, custom kitchen, and a three-season room with woodstove. The 1 bedroom 1 1/2 bath apartment is located on the main floor with an enclosed sunroom, woodstove, and fenced area - both offering beautiful views with excellent Airbnb or VRBO potential here. The adjoining land surrounding this parcel is owned by this estate. This property is pride of ownership at its best but has been vacant for almost two years and in need of new energy and a new purpose. Located within minutes to St. Lawrence University (large equestrian program), Clarkson University, SUNY Potsdam (Crane School of Music) and SUNY Canton with an easy drive to Lake Placid/Adirondack High Peaks region and Ottawa/Montreal, Canada.
