Description

Nestled on a country road in West Pine Plains, the Historic Hanlon Hill Farmstead offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history. This 87-acre property, spanning five parcels, has been in the Hanlon family for six generations. The centerpiece is an 1840s eyebrow colonial home, set back from the road for ultimate privacy. As you enter the farm, you'll pass a serene pond and a charming one-bedroom guest cottage featuring wood floors and a beautiful brick fireplace. Currently rented for $1,000 per month, the tenant covers all utilities. The main house is a lovely blend of historic charm and modern comfort, with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and gorgeous wide-board wood floors throughout. Nature lovers will appreciate the meadows, abundant woodlands, and diverse wildlife that surround the property. Farm roads wind through the land, leading to the highest points, where you can take in breathtaking sunset views. This land offers incredible development potential, with standing hardwoods ready for harvest, and the barn—24’ x 36’ with a metal roof—could easily be transformed into horse stalls or used for other farming needs. Whether you're an investor or an outdoor enthusiast, this property has endless possibilities. It’s ideal for hiking, hunting, or any outdoor activity you can imagine. The historic colonial features a large, covered front porch with its original door, opening into a grand staircase. To the right, a spacious living room boasts a large stone fireplace, and a small galley kitchen sits adjacent. To the left, you'll find a formal dining room and a bedroom with an antique bath, plus the main kitchen, complete with a wood stove. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and a modern, fully-tiled bathroom with both a tub and shower. A cozy office or nursery is located off the largest bedroom. A three-season porch overlooks the meadows and orchard, offering a peaceful spot to relax. The property also includes a creamery, a smokehouse, and stunning stone retaining walls that add to its rustic charm. Conveniently located just off the Taconic Parkway, this farm is an easy drive to Rhinebeck, Red Hook, and Pine Plains. Whether you're looking for a serene retreat, a development opportunity, or a place to pursue farming, this historic property offers something for everyone.
