Willow Lake Farm - Hudson Valley Historic Estate for Sale Fishkill NY

Willow Lake Farm, Fishkill, New York

In one word, unparalleled.

Movies and the HBO series "Pretty Little Liars" have filmed here. Weddings and other special moments have graced these grounds. Steeped in local history, the owners are ready to pass the torch and welcome new stewards to this impeccably maintained and beloved property.

Blue herons glide within inches of the glistening five-acre spring and stream fed swimming lake, eagles soar above tree tops while ducks play. Relics intact on property await exploration while activity options abound on historic horse drawn carriage trails meandering throughout the property. Nestled in the woods on stone pillars with stream and waterfall cascading by its side is the jewel retreat for creative inspiration, Tree Tops. Peace reaches core at Willow Lake Farm.

Resting on 105 bucolic acres, the property features four residences encompassing main residence and three guest houses along with multiple outbuildings. The main residence enjoys south facing full lake views with beams of light flowing into the home through abundant and original leaded glass pane doors and windows. Original quarter sawn Oak hardwood floors in pristine condition throughout with now extinct American Chestnut finely crafted for bannister and trim work.

The three guest houses were built between 1928-1982. Five units, each with their own kitchen and bathroom. Some with fireplaces. All guest houses transfer fully furnished and stocked. The cumulative square footage of residences offers over 10,000 square feet of living space with ability to comfortably accommodate 20+ guests.

Equipped with coop ready for chicks, the Hen House also features a greenhouse and workshop that could convert back to four stall barn. The current timber barn/stable could also provide a spot for casual outdoor performances. The lakeside open-air gazebo features soft lighting to enjoy through evening. Solace can be found in the sound of the stream running by the generous screened gazebo. The perfect tucked away spot for an outdoor nap. Three car and two car detached garages for additional storage.

This first recorded exchange involving this land was in 1683 Treaty between the Wappingers First Nation Indians and two financiers. In the 1700's, this land was part a historic milestone in land ownership opportunities in the then Colony of New York when land rich/cash poor heiress Madame Brett began offering smaller parcels for sale. These sales presented land ownership opportunities once reserved for the social elite.

The property was developed in the late 1800's as Knickerbocker Lodge for the first mayor of Fishkill as a retreat for city elite. From ashes in the early 1900's arose Willow Lake Farm, celebrating its hundredth birthday this year.

The ease of enjoyment at this bucolic estate property extends to accessibility, both in connectivity and location. Wi-Fi stations throughout the property ensure strong reception.
Sixty miles north of NYC, less than fifteen minutes to Beacon or Cold Spring for trains, marina, shopping, entertainment and dining. Less than twenty minutes to Stewart International Airport. Minutes to both Interstate 84 and the Taconic State Parkway.

Offered at $4,385,000. Anticipated closing: September, 2024. After spending seven years on the market with two other realtors, Sandi had this luxury compound estate in multiple offer with three buyers within sixty days.
