A True Ballston Landmark with Endless Possibilities! One of the oldest houses in town, historic Bettys' Tavern sits on nearly 5 pastoral acres with beautiful views, a pond, and a highly visible, high-traffic location. According to local history, the Bettys settled in Ballston in 1770, and their son Joe was a Patriot who later became a Loyalist and was ultimately convicted as a spy and executed for treason in Albany. Zoned Rural Highway Transition District, the property offers a variety of potential uses for those looking to bring a business to Ballston. Its location next to Buckley Farm, one of the largest farms in town, also opens the door to potential small agricultural uses. Much of the heavy lifting has already been done, including a newer septic system, roof, kitchen, and a completely rebuilt basement, helping keep the home high and dry. Public water and natural gas are connected. The remaining renovations are ready for your imagination and personal style. An historic marker stands proudly in front, but there are no historic restrictions or requirements on the property. Preserving and restoring its character would certainly be appreciated, as Bettys' Tavern is an iconic piece of Ballston history and has been featured in many of the town's advertisements. A rare opportunity to own a piece of local history with land, visibility, and tremendous potential!
