For the first time in history, Mill Farm—over 2,000 contiguous acres in Ancramdale, New York—is being offered to the market. Nearly all of the farm is bordered by thousands of acres of adjacent protected conservation land, making it the only 2,000-acre working farm in the region, ensuring a level of privacy and ecological integrity that cannot be duplicated.
Steeped in history, the Mill House dates back to the Revolutionary War era and the Livingston family, and is the conversion of the famed “Defiance” Grist Mill, a rare surviving landmark of early American industry that established the region’s first trading base. At its heart is the Mill House, an approximately 5,600-square-foot architectural treasure, situated directly on Punch Brook, where water flows through the house itself to power its historic hydroelectric turbine mill system.
A waterfall near the Mill House is a living, ever-present feature of the surroundings, as it is visible from nearly every room. Adjacent, the former Mill Keeper’s Cottage has been reimagined as a private cinema, blending centuries-old character with modern luxury. Crest Lane, an approximately 3,500-square-foot masterpiece, stands as a second architectural gem, featuring a sunroom with panoramic valley views.
Beyond these primary residences, the property includes 8 single-family homes, including four newly renovated cottages, each on its own registered parcel, offering unparalleled flexibility for family, guests, or future investment. The two primary residences, the Mill House and Crest Lane, are connected by a three-mile internal gravel road system. The land itself is a defining asset. This is arguably the largest working farm within two hours of New York City, with certified organic hay production, fertile valley soils, and rising elevations to the east and west that frame extraordinary views.
Rare 18th-century barns, including a notable Dutch Barn, stand as enduring testaments to America’s agrarian history. An active windmill system still provides water to various points on the farm, while aquifers and tributaries ensure abundant water availability. Recreational and ecological value are equally profound. The farm contains over 18 miles of perfect, traversable trails that interconnect every corner of the property, creating a network for horseback riding, exploration, and resource access.
Three miles of pristine Punch Brook, a New York State designated trout stream, run through the property—a pristine waterway under private stewardship. The farm also harbors documented bobcat habitats and study areas in partnership with Panthera.org. Its eastern border abuts a vast conservation bird sanctuary, ensuring an uninterrupted natural environment and extending the sense of total seclusion for thousands of acres in every direction. Mill Farm uniquely combines agricultural productivity, historical resonance, and ecological significance.
With its unparalleled scale, legacy, and proximity to New York City, it represents an opportunity that exists nowhere else in the Northeast—a living landmark, never before available on the open market.
