Remarks

Welcome to the historic Crawford Farm Estate, a sprawling Gilded Age marvel nestled on 32 acres of picturesque Millbrook, NY countryside. Originally crafted in 1900 by esteemed real estate developer RL Burton, this stately mansion stands as a testament to the opulence of the colonial revival period and the vibrant fox hunt boom of the early 1900s. This grand estate boasts a 3 story, 9 bedroom, 8 bath mansion awaiting full restoration, alongside an attached 2 story, 18 room, dormitory wing. While both structures are ripe for rejuvenation, a more modern 7,330 SF 6-classroom school building built in 2005 offers exciting opportunities for contemporary repurposing. Embracing self-sufficiency, the estate features a 100,000-gallon water cistern, complemented by on-site water and sewage treatment plants, ensuring a seamless living experience for future inhabitants. Moreover, with the recently SPDES-renewed sewage treatment plant, the horizon of possibilities expands exponentially. Originally named Crawford Farm Estate, this historic site has witnessed the evolution of the region, from its agricultural roots producing cream cheese to its more recent incarnation as a health services rehabilitation center. Today, possibilities range from a magnificent single-family residence to a charming bed & breakfast, an educational institution, or even a serene corporate or religious retreat, with appropriate approvals. The property's strategic Millbrook location, two access points from Ramble Hill Lane and College Lane, just minutes from Route 44, the Taconic State Parkway, offers unparalleled convenience, with a Metro North train station a mere 20-minute drive away. With the potential for subdivision to further residential development, the Crawford Farm Estate presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history, ripe with potential and poised for transformation. You won't find another offering in the region with this kind of scope and potential. Don't miss your chance to breathe new life into this enchanting slice of Millbrook's past, beckoning you to script its next chapter of splendor.
