Property Description
Welcome to West Branch Farm, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an extraordinary piece of history and one of the largest properties available in New York State. This breathtaking estate spans over 1,080 acres, encompassing an entire mountainside and stretching as far as the eye can see on both sides of the West Branch of the Delaware River. While currently supporting robust commercial dairy and mixed-use agricultural operations, the property offers endless possibilities. Whether you're looking to expand your current agribusiness or develop a new agritourism, solar, or hospitality venture, West Branch Farm provides a premier canvas ripe with potential. At the heart of West Branch Farm stands a stunning 19th century Greek Revival farmhouse, a historic landmark renowned as the valley's oldest gem. Impeccably maintained, the home features original stained glass, wide-plank heart pine flooring, a hand-carved staircase, and intricate plaster molding on the ceilings, all showcasing timeless elegance and craftsmanship. A second residence, the charming four-bedroom guesthouse with recently renovated kitchen, offers additional opportunities (additional 2,200 sq ft not included in the MLS). West Branch Farm features multiple barns, garages and outbuildings to accommodate hundreds of cattle, ensuring efficiency and productivity. If desired, the property offers the flexible option to continue leasing to the current farmers, providing immediate income and expert management for a seamless continuity of operations. In addition, the property has NYS forestry tax credits in place for added ease and incentive. Beyond the farmland, discover endless natural beauty and recreational enjoyment. West Branch Farm's natural features are equally impressive, with 8,000 feet of river frontage ideal for scenic views and fishing, extensive trails for hiking and horseback riding, and acres of forest for hunting. Conveniently located just 2.5 hours from the George Washington Bridge, West Branch Farm offers easy access to New York City. Nearby towns such as Bovina, Stamford, and Hobart provide excellent shopping and dining options, while Wyndham, Plattekill, and Belleayre ski areas are a short drive away. West Branch Farm is more than just a farm; it's a versatile opportunity poised to support your unique vision and ambitions. Available for the first time in five decades, West Branch Farm offers a rare chance to embrace a lifestyle where history, farming, and nature converge. Please note some portions of land have NYS Conservation easement.
