Description

Set on almost 6 breathtaking acres in Black River Park, The Herb Farm began as a stone barn circa 1750 and has since evolved....gracefully and intentionally into a romantic country estate of rare character and scale. This home also has private access to the state park. Beyond the gates, a long and private driveway winds gently through the landscape, building anticipation with every turn...until the estate reveals itself, evoking the romance of a European countryside retreat.

This home also has private access to the state park. Beyond the gates, a long and private driveway winds gently through the landscape, building anticipation with every turn...until the estate reveals itself, evoking the romance of a European countryside retreat. The main residence offers 5 bedrooms and 4.2 baths, wrapped in hand-laid stone and framed by preserved parkland, creating a sense of complete privacy. At the heart of the home, a show stopping gourmet kitchen anchors daily life and grand entertaining alike, featuring La Cornue, two dishwashers, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and seamless flow into a sunlit stone great room. Architectural details abound: groin, barrel, and vaulted ceilings, five wood-burning fireplaces, mahogany windows, and stone walls that blur the line between indoors and out. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, entered through its own foyer and opening to a balcony, complete with a custom dressing room/massive closet and an imported marble bath worthy of a European manor. Step outside to terraces and an indoor–outdoor kitchen with an imported pizza oven and Argentine grill, designed for long evenings, laughter, and unforgettable gatherings. Play bocci ball on the custom bocci ball court with the best views! Adding to the magic are two additional residences on the property. The guest cottage, fully renovated, offers a bright open kitchen and living space, a bedroom with ensuite bath, powder room, and laundry, perfect for extended stays or quiet escapes. Above the three-car garage there is a charming suite with two bedrooms, a renovated bath, an updated kitchen and living area, and a working stone fireplace. Thoughtfully updated mechanicals and a full-property generator ensure modern comfort without sacrificing old-world soul.
This is not just a home—it’s a place where history lives, beauty remains, and every season feels cinematic. A rare country estate where mornings are misty and quiet, evenings glow by firelight, and the magic feels undeniably real.
