The original Haines Family Farm on nearly 14 acres is a remarkable country compound along a beautiful and historic Bedford road. Filled with character at every turn, the seven bedroom, five bath farmhouse is wonderfully authentic and well maintained. Expanded in the 1800s and then again in the 1930s, the public rooms are all nicely proportioned with higher ceilings, built in cabinetry, and seven wood-burning fireplaces. Handsome random-width and wide-plank oak, chestnut and pine floors preserve the integrity of the period. Deeply private, the land is simply beautiful-a magical oasis of open rolling lawns, established gardens and towering spruce, oak and hemlock trees. A stone path leads around the entire property, over a lovely skating pond and through a cascade of koi ponds. Accessories include a three bedroom guest house, large greenhouse, two bedroom caretaker apartment and swimming pool. A separate farm complex with four-stall barn is adjacent to series of fenced paddocks. Home to three generations of beloved two-legged and four-legged creatures, Haines Farm is now a once in a lifetime opportunity-ready for its next chapter. Not offered in nearly 40 years.
Bedford, located between Bedford Village and Katonah, is a pastoral and historic Bedford Hills neighborhood with stone-wall lanes and wooded ridgelines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Bedford Hills Metro-North station area on Bedford Road, where commuter foot traffic meets small storefronts and a low-key, weekday bustle. Housing reads as a mix of mid-century colonials, updated capes, and larger homes set back behind mature trees. The Saw Mill River Parkway and Route 117 shape the local geography, while trailheads and preserves define weekend rhythms. The Bedford Hills Free Library, Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts, and the Bedford Playhouse serve as cultural anchors tied to the wider Bedford area.
