A historical Lord farm at Bedford Hills, NY, rooted in the 18th century – and a story that includes politicians, doctors and television pioneers – has been released for the first time in more three to three decades.
Known as the Buxton Pond Farm, the 11 -hectare Westchester County property is looking for $ 5.5 million, according to a press release from its ranking brokerage.
Its current owners have passed the past few years restoring and preserving many historical wealth structures, including a trusted 18th-century school house to be the oldest building that survives in its kind of Bedford Hills-restored in 2023.
In the center of the property is a six -bedroom colonial house, five bathrooms, the construction of the colonial house in 1795.
The settlement holds many of its original features, including wide pine floors, wood burning fires and a traditional lid exterior.
The rooms are oriented to look at the garden, opening on manicured lawns skined with heritage pink beds and rare botanical plants. A pool adapted from flowering borders adds a modern note.
Over the centuries, wealth has served as an attraction for a number of visible figures.
Former New York Governor Dewitt Clinton, the driving force behind the ERIE Canal, was once called the wealth house.
Contemporary and collaborator of Clinton, doctor and botanist David Hosack – best known as the doctor who participates in the duel between the founder of New York Post, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr – was also associated with the site.
In the 20th century, she was owned by Gertrude Berg, a pioneer actress on television and wrote that she became a home name for her portrayal of Molly Goldberg. Her time on the farm appeared in the 2009 documentary “Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg”.
In addition to its prominent inhabitants, the land has its deepest legacy: it is believed to have been a stop on the underground railroad. The original stone walls that once offered cover to the seekers of freedom remain intact.
Current owners have continued the tradition of social influence farm through the creation of Buxton Pond Farm Center, a non -profit teaching center for reasons. The center offers workshops in botanicals, herbs and permaculture, and supplies fresh products to local families through a partnership with Mount Kisco Interfaith Food Pantry.
Beyond the main settlement, wealth includes a collection of historical buildings, among them a barn with eight stalls and neighborhoods of private living, a detached garage with three cars, an ancient chicken house, and a greenhouse with an attached office.
Located approximately 40 miles from Manhattan, the property is minutes from the train station in Bedford Hills, schools and village shops, offering a rare combination of rural intimacy and travelers’ comfort.
Krissy Blake of Realty International Sotheby holds the list.
