33 County Home Rd, Essex, NY 12936

There are farms in the Champlain Valley that feel like they've been waiting -- fields kept open, fence lines holding, a pond catching the light at the center of it all. This is one of them. Spanning 710 acres across Essex and Westport, this property presents one of the most compelling land opportunities in the northern Champlain Valley: a working-scale agricultural canvas with equestrian infrastructure already in place, long Adirondack and Green Mountain views in multiple directions, and a rare combination of open meadow, productive tillable ground, and mature woodland that takes the better part of a morning to walk. The land itself tells the story. Rolling pastures and hay fields -- mown and managed -- open into broader valley views that frame the High Peaks to the west and the Vermont range to the east. A farm pond anchors the historic homestead area, where a cluster of old barns and outbuildings speaks to the property's deep agricultural roots. At the working heart of the property sits a substantial horse barn with a fenced riding arena and round pen -- infrastructure that signals serious equestrian use and transfers ready for the next operator. Additional outbuildings and equipment storage round out the agricultural complement. Land of this scale and character in the northern Champlain Valley seldom comes to market.
