Spanning 372 acres in the Northern Adirondack Park, Weatherwatch Farm offers more than 60 miles of unobstructed views toward the High Peaks, two beautifully reimagined farmhouses, curated gardens, manicured grounds, hiking trails, and more. Nearly four decades of thoughtful stewardship have shaped this distinctive estate into a one-of-a-kind property. Over the years, it has appeared in numerous real estate publications and, for more than 31 years, has welcomed hundreds of world-class classical musicians through Hill and Hollow Music. Potential possibilities include agritourism, an extended family compound with additional development opportunities, or subdivision while preserving the property’s privacy. Originally comprised of four tax lots, this marks the first public offering of the estate in its current, complete form. Year-round brooks flow throughout the grounds, while steel-reinforced bridges provide vehicle and tractor access across the property. Hiking trails, mapped by GPS, lead through the landscape to features such as a seasonally changing beaver dam. The current ownership has devoted exceptional care to every aspect of the estate, combining a deep appreciation for the land with the expertise and resources to thoughtfully enhance it. The Main House and Harvey House are both mid-1800s farmhouses that have been extensively rebuilt and expanded with modern utilities, layouts, and functions while preserving elements of their historic character. Wood-burning stoves complement radiant in-floor heating, while an early-1900s dual-fuel wood and propane cast-iron range joins a modern farm kitchen with an electric range. Food and wine cellars, an inviting library, original beams and posts, renovated barns, a chicken coop, machine storage, and additional outbuildings complete the estate. Farm equipment is available separately.
