Yea but that's my question. People drive hours to beaches or lakes upstate or wherever. People go all the way to the finger lakes, but I'm wondering what the draw is in Columbia County. I'm not very far, so that's why I'm asking.

Columbia county has some really good hunting in certain areas. I'm not exactly even sure of where those exact areas are, but I've heard multiple times that Columbia county has some bruisers around. Also known for a good amount of albino and pie bald deer. My best buddy shot a pie bald spike horn there like 10 years or so ago. While a lot of that county has some good hunting, it's no Kingman county Kansas and sure as hell isnt worth outrageous amounts of money like that for a hunting property. There's 45 acres down the street from my for sale for 45k that I could shoot just as many and just as big of bucks on with some habitat improvements.

What is in Columbia County that people from the City are going to? Isn't it like 2 hours away? Serious question, what's the draw? Food, Water? I know a lot of people who live in Westchester with weekend homes in Westchester, Putnam, Long Island, NJ, CT, etc. but never heard of Colombia County

It's not Columbia county actually,  it's Old Chatham.  For some reason it's a draw for those who wish to have a 2nd home in the country.  Many multi million dollar estates that are weekender homes. 

Go 15 miles farther east to New Lebanon(still Columbia county) , and you will be hard pressed to find the class of homes OC has.  

 

Regardless of the draw, the piece of land mentioned in the opening post will not sell for 1.2 mil.  Too many other places with more land for a lot less $$

Thats whats realtors are for to negotiate a fair price, hard to go up, easy to go down...
