Turning Leaves Farm is an exquisite 18th-century homestead on more than a hundred tranquil acres with a carriage house, artist's studio, historic bank barn, fruit trees, four deepwater ponds, rushing streams, stone walls, meadows, and magical woodland trails. This historically significant home was once the main farm on Maple Drive, belonging to the family of Emma Cady, a renowned Theorem painter at the end of the nineteenth century who drew inspiration from the landscape of the property.
The Center Hall Federal farmhouse has been meticulously restored by the owners to include many modern features while maintaining historic details that lend this property its authentic charm. All of the wood work is either original, reclaimed, or replicated using the same techniques and honoring the same proportions as was done at the time this home was built in 1790. The first floor has a parlor, dining room, family room opening to a chef's kitchen, all with original stone fireplaces. The finished basement with terracotta tiles features a wine cellar and plenty of space for storage.
The sleeping quarters on the second floor consist of four bedrooms, two with fireplaces, two full baths and a dressing room. On the stair landing is an arched window that offers a strong visual impact both on the interior and exterior of the home.
There are several outbuildings on the property. The country black 3-bay garage has a fully equipped loft-style apartment on its second floor, and the spacious bank barn is the perfect space to throw a summer party.
Turning Leaves Farm is an excellent full-time or part-time country home, with a two-acre swimming pond, plenty of beautiful light throughout the day, privacy and distance from neighboring homes, long walking trails and horseback-riding paths, and Queechy Lake rights for the ideal Hudson Valley lifestyle. High-quality soil and the property’s south-facing nature make the farm an avid gardener or organic farmer’s dream.
This home is located near idyllic upstate locations like Chatham, Hudson, the Berkshires, Tanglewood, and top tier skiing destinations. 10 minutes to the village of Chatham, less than 30 minutes to Hudson, Great Barrington and Lenox and 2 hrs 15 minutes from New York City and Boston.
