Here's the front—dark timber fortress vibes, tucked in trees. Dramatic but cozy.
Big beams overhead, brick walls all around. Feels airy and lived-in.
Another beam party. Warm tones everywhere, aged timber doing the heavy lifting.
Okay, this fireplace goes hard. Stacked logs and a big moody art moment.
Here's the kitchen—beams, honey floors, chunky cabinets. Smells fresh bread somehow.
Lots of paneling, lots of beams. Cozy, but maybe a touch cave-y?
Brick-and-beam mashup. Kinda industrial cabin. Anyone know why the lights hang so low?
And then this staircase—weathered wood everywhere. Feels walking through a time capsule.
Bedroom is full timber mode. Beams overhead a protective hug, maybe too much?
Another nook with rough boards and soft light. I mean, pretty dang comfy.
Here's a room that went all-in on raw wood. Smells amazing, though.
Second bedroom. honey timber, vaulted beams. Sleepy cabin energy turned up.
Green trim with white paneling and wood floors. Unexpected, but kinda crisp.
Path through the trees, gravel crunch soundtrack. Those stone walls are perfect.
Back outside. weathered planks, tall roof, four chimneys flexing. Big statement.
Here's the side angle—black siding, metal roof. Sleek meets cabin.
Okay, this water feature goes off. Gentle cascade, big stones, backyard white noise.
Last shot. vaulted beams and warm boards. From this angle, it feels grand.
Details
Mill Farm is a historic estate spanning over 2,000 contiguous acres in Ancramdale, New York, and is available for the first time ever. It's bordered by thousands of acres of protected conservation land, making it a unique working farm offering extreme privacy and ecological integrity. The property includes the Mill House, a roughly 5,600-square-foot architectural gem built around the original Grist Mill "Defiance" from the Revolutionary War era. Water from the Punch Brook Stream flows through the Mill House to power its historic hydro turbine system, and a nearby waterfall is visible from most rooms. Adjacent to the Mill House is the former Mill Keeper’s House, now a movie theatre.
Crest Lane, another impressive residence of approximately 3,500 square feet, offers panoramic valley views. In addition to these main homes, the farm has 8 other single-family homes, including four newly renovated cottages, each with its own deed. A three-mile gravel road system connects the Mill House and Crest Lane. The land itself is a major feature, boasting fertile fields, rising elevations with stunning views, and organic-certified hay production. It is considered one of the largest working farms within a two-hour drive of New York City and includes rare 18th-century barns.
An active windmill system distributes water across the property, supported by abundant aquifers and tributaries. For recreation, there are over 18 miles of trails suitable for horseback riding and exploration. The Punch Brook, a New York State trout stream, runs for three miles through the property. The farm also supports documented bobcat habitats and borders a large conservation bird sanctuary, ensuring vast, undisturbed natural surroundings. Mill Farm offers a rare combination of agricultural potential, historical significance, and ecological value.
