300-500k seems really high for a farmhouse unless it comes with a lot of land.

Within weekend distance of NYC?

EX: http://mls.catskill4sale.com/idx/details/homes/b253/34760/4-... 200k, 10br house ~2h from NYC depending on traffic. Basically as soon as you step past reasonable daily commutes prices really fall.

It has four bedrooms, not ten. You can't reasonably fit ten bedrooms in 2912 square feet of living space.

3,000 sq feet is 20.8 rooms at 12' by 12'. Sure larger rooms, walk in closets, or wasted hallways could eat that up. But the real issue is there are only 2 bathrooms.

Would anyone really consider that a farmhouse, when it has only 0.68 acres of land?

Because you only care about the farmhouse and not the land.

You can rent land to farmers. Depending on the land and location in NY, you can rent it for $20-$80 an acre.

forget YOU commuting to the city - with 10 bedrooms you can provide free rooms for YOUR employees to come to you :-) (assuming you own a startup and have employees)
