Macedon, NY
Commercial Real Estate Appraisals

The properties we appraise in Macedon reflect its mixed light-industrial, waste-management, and agritourism character. Industrial and light-manufacturing parcels, including tenants such as Pliant Corporation at the NY 31 and 350 intersection, are valued with attention to building condition, ceiling height, loading facilities, and the specific use the space supports. Large-scale waste-management and landfill infrastructure land, including High Acres Landfill, is assessed with attention to its specialized use, regulatory considerations, and the property's specific operational role.

Agritourism and agricultural property, including Long Acre Farms and surrounding farmland, is valued with attention to the specific recreational or agricultural use, visitor revenue patterns, and any development rights or restrictions. Canal-adjacent recreational land near historic Locks 29 and 30 is valued with attention to Erie Canal access. Expanding suburban residential is typically valued using the sales comparison approach. The valuation method is assignment-dependent, and we consider zoning, utilities, access, and any industrial, landfill, or agricultural designations where they materially affect value.

The Town of Macedon is in the extreme southwest corner of Wayne County, historically shaped by two Erie Canal ports, the Village of Macedon and the hamlet of Wayneport, with a mix of light industry, a large regional landfill, and a well-known agritourism destination. NY Route 31 and NY Route 31F intersect with NY Route 350 in the Village of Macedon, and the Erie Canalway Trail runs east-west along the canal's north side through the town and village, passing historic Locks 29 and 30 of the Barge Canal system, each with a small park.

Long Acre Farms, a family-owned, fourth-generation agritourism destination open to the public since 1993, known for its Amazing Maize Maze and seasonal events, is the town's most notable commercial draw. The Macedon Academy building on Route 31F is a historic landmark, and the Museum of Wayne County History sits near the village square, where a Saturday farmers market runs from mid-June through October. Pliant Corporation is an industrial and manufacturing tenant at the NY 31 and 350 intersection, and High Acres Landfill is a large regional solid-waste facility on Wayneport Road, north of the Erie Canal. An annual Lumberjack Festival in September is a notable seasonal draw.

For appraisal research, these characteristics inform comparable selection. Industrial parcels are compared to similar light-manufacturing transactions, while agritourism property is analyzed with attention to its specific recreational use. Macedon genuinely combines light industry, a major landfill, expanding residential development, and agritourism rather than fitting a single simple commercial narrative. This project treats Macedon as a single combined town and village fact sheet. The hamlet of Wayneport, formerly West Macedon, was a separate historic canal port within the town and should not be confused with the Village of Macedon itself when citing canal-era history.
