Description

Bull Farm is an extraordinary 422.42-acre assemblage of farmland, woodlands, wetlands, and working agricultural property offering a rare opportunity to create a private estate, equestrian property, working farm, recreational retreat, or multi-generational compound in the heart of Amenia’s scenic Harlem Valley. Comprised of two adjoining parcels, the property includes 389.21 acres with access and road frontage along Sharon Station Road, one of Amenia’s most picturesque country byways, together with a 33.22-acre working horse farm with access and frontage on Route 22. Combined, the parcels offer approximately 3,789 feet of Route 22 frontage. The expansive 389.21-acre parcel includes approximately 100 acres of cleared, productive farmland. The fields are currently cultivated with corn, alternating with soybeans each year. Ponds, streams, wetlands, and wooded areas create a diverse landscape that is particularly attractive for waterfowl hunting and other recreational pursuits. Gentle rolling hills rise throughout the property, revealing astounding panoramic views across the pastoral Harlem Valley. Multiple potential building sites offer privacy, solitude, and breathtaking vistas from sunrise to sunset, while the combination of open fields and mature woodlands creates endless possibilities for farming, livestock, equestrian use, recreation, hunting, or the creation of a remarkable private estate. The 33.22-acre parcel is an established working horse farm featuring a barn, approximately 14 cleared acres, pastures, several run-ins, outbuildings, two small ponds, and streams. The barn includes four horse stalls, two additional stalls currently used for mechanicals, feed and tack, plus four exterior stalls, with two on each side of the barn. A caretaker apartment above the barn provides additional living space. Trails weave through the woods between the two parcels, creating a natural connection throughout this remarkable expanse. Both properties currently benefit from an agricultural exemption, while the 389.21-acre parcel also has a forestry exemption. Current combined taxes with the exemptions are approximately $16,360, compared with approximately $32,628 without the exemptions. Located amid the charming hamlets and villages of the Harlem Valley, Bull Farm offers an exceptional balance of seclusion and convenience.
