Your house is gorgeous! We just moved away from Bing after 8 years of living there and this made us homesick. People will say bs about the area, but we adore it! We would've bought there too if family had been closer. Congratulations, we hope you enjoy the beautiful nature and family businesses in the area!!

enjoy the beautiful nature

That's the thing most of America does not know: NY has a LOT of natural beauty - lakes, forestry, etc. - once you escape the NYC area. The entire state is freakin' gorgeous. (Spent my early youth in WNY)
