About This Home
Rarely does an offering of this scale and provenance come to market. Set across more than 114 acres, Honey Lane Farm is a private estate of exceptional beauty—three distinct period residences forming a serene, self-contained retreat in the heart of the Harlem Valley. The four-bedroom mid-19th century main house is both refined and inviting, bathed in southern light and thoughtfully updated for modern living. A spacious chef’s kitchen anchors the home, flowing seamlessly into elegant dining and living rooms, a relaxed family room, and expansive outdoor entertaining spaces. Details such as a wood-burning fireplace, rich hardwood floors, bluestone terraces, and a gracious screened porch elevate the experience. An in-ground pool and tranquil wildlife pond complete the idyllic setting. A stately circular drive leads to the 1860s carriage house, offering a beautifully appointed two-bedroom guest residence. Further along, the 1929 Barn House provides yet another charming haven for hosting gatherings. Winding paths traverse a landscape of remarkable diversity—open meadows, mature woodlands, and picturesque waterways—while multiple elevated sites offer breathtaking panoramic views and future possibilities. Surrounded by over 1,000 acres of protected farmland along the Ten Mile River watershed, the estate ensures privacy without isolation. Just five minutes from Metro-North access in Dover Plains and Ten Mile River, Honey Lane Farm represents a rare convergence of history, scale, and enduring elegance.
