FRANCESTOWN -- Green View Farm, an 8,275-square-foot home on 96 acres, sold at auction Saturday for $700,000, the amount of the first and only bid of the day.
The Dennison Pond Road property had been listed for two years at a price of $1.7 million. During that time, there was not one looker, owner Elliott Hersey said, and eventually he and his wife decided to sell it at auction.
"I'm a little disappointed in the property sale; I was hoping for over a million," said Hersey, who watched as his home, furniture, power tool collection, boats, trucks and tractors were auctioned. "Everybody wants something for nothing."
"The price tells us all something about the market," said winning bidder Robert Jones of Greenwich, Conn. Jones and his wife, Stella, said they had their hearts set on winning when they attended the auction.
Hersey is the former owner of Great Meadows Farm in New Boston, where for 45 years he and his family tended 60 head of Holstein cattle. In 2004, the Herseys moved to Francestown where his wife, Alison, had roots. They built Great View Farm on 96 acres, most of which is in conservation easements.

"There a quite a number of walking trails on it," said Hersey. "And two big trees about 300 years old each."
The property, along with the spacious four-bedroom, five-bath home will now become a meeting place for the Joneses and their extended family, some of whom have lived in Temple for 30 years.
"We love the idea of a pastoral refuge up here," said Jones. "We've made a few friends here already and everybody seems really nice. We're looking forward to being a part of the Francestown community."
Only five bidders had put up the $50,000 deposit to bid on the house and property.
Auctioneer Paul McInnis said individuals looking to acquire such a property at auction and actually live in it were the rarity only a few years ago.
"It was totally different," said McInnis. "Nobody has any faith in what Washington's going to do yet."
Traditionally, the majority of interested parties in such auctions were investors, said McInnis.
"The money was flowing," said McInnis. "That music has stopped."
