Description

White Feather Farm is one of the Hudson Valley's most distinctive private estates, where historic architecture, ecological stewardship and refined country living are set across 65 extraordinary acres. Organic fields, mountain-view meadows, wetlands, tributaries, woodlands, orchards, beehives, pollinator habitats and native plantings create a richly layered landscape fed by a spring-fed pond. At the heart of the estate stands a beautifully restored 18th-century stone farmhouse, expanded and enhanced with exceptional care. Original Dutch doors, wide-plank floors, exposed stone walls and hand-hewn beams speak to the home's roots, while thoughtful renovations provide comfort and functionality throughout. The principal living spaces are warm, inviting and richly textured. Exposed stone walls, original beams and custom millwork create a sense of history and comfort throughout. A welcoming sitting room with French doors opening to the grounds flows into a series of interconnected gathering spaces, including a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and a dining room crowned by a lofted gallery above. The centerpiece of the home is an exceptional chef's kitchen with custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, dual islands, two farmhouse sinks and an eight-burner Wolf range. A vaulted dining area, warmed by a propane stove and bathed in natural light, offers an inviting setting for relaxed gatherings and conversation. Two main-floor principal suites enjoy garden views. The East Wing offers a private sitting room, spa-inspired bath and walk-in dressing room, while the West Wing combines rustic elegance with exposed stonework, hand-finished walls, private study, dressing room and spa-like bath with oversized steam shower. Also tucked away on the main level is a versatile ensuite room, offering privacy and flexibility for guests, work, or quiet retreat. Upstairs, two additional guest bedrooms are served by a full bath with antique clawfoot tub and an ensuite powder room. Outside, bluestone pathways connect a stone terrace with wood-fired oven, an English garden with raised beds and space for quiet contemplation, a heated yoga studio/gym and a log cabin with stone fireplace. At the center, a private stone courtyard offers a sheltered setting for dining and entertaining. Beyond the residence, a remarkable collection of structures is woven throughout the landscape. Among the most notable is the Broken Wing Barn, a restored circa-1750 post-and-beam structure centered around a soaring timber-framed gathering space suited to dinners, retreats, workshops, performances and celebrations. A lofted library/workspace, kitchen, office and sitting areas and one-and-a-half baths support a wide range of uses. Equally distinctive is a Hartley Botanic greenhouse imported from England, with radiant-heated bluestone floors, exceptional craftsmanship and versatility. A further substantial working greenhouse supports the estate’s medicinal and edible gardens, orchards and productive growing areas, while a relocated 19th-century timber-frame barn with equipment storage and walk-in refrigeration supports agricultural, horticultural and estate operations. Additional structures, including a sugar shack, farm stand, potting shed and poultry coops, contribute beauty and function. A detached garage with one-bedroom apartment provides flexible accommodations for estate management or guests, while a covered carport with EV charging adds convenience. Minutes from Woodstock and within easy reach of the Catskills and the Hudson Valley's celebrated dining, cultural, recreational, and skiing destinations, White Feather Farm offers a rare combination of privacy, beauty and versatility. Equally suited as a private estate, a place for gathering and hospitality, or a property with established short-term rental and event capabilities, it presents a singular opportunity to become the next steward of one of the region's most distinctive estates.
