Hemlock Hill Farm
Set amid 215 acres of organic land, Hemlock Hill Farm is a rare offering that combines privacy, usable acreage, and historic charm in a setting of exceptional natural beauty. A long, private drive leads to the farmhouse, set well back from the road and surrounded by open skies, rolling fields, and forest—a landscape that feels timeless. Though wonderfully secluded, the property is just a short drive from Cooperstown, a village celebrated for its cultural heritage and pastoral scenery.
This land has been organically maintained for many years, with no chemical treatments or sprays—preserving the purity of its soil and the thriving native ecosystem. Once part of New York’s historic hops region, Hemlock Hill carries forward that agricultural legacy with meadows, woods, and creek frontage that together form a true rural sanctuary.
The farmhouse blends period character with thoughtful modern updates. The kitchen features new cabinetry, retro-style appliances, and a classic English wood cooking stove—ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and a vaulted living room with pastoral views create a space that feels warm, grounded, and authentic.
Outdoors, a stone patio invites al fresco dining and gatherings beneath the stars. Raised garden beds and a professionally restored heirloom apple orchard make it easy to cultivate your own farm-to-table lifestyle. Walking trails wind through meadows and woodlands, following the course of Phinney’s Creek, which flows gently through the property, while a spring-fed swimming pond offers a place to cool off in summer.
The property’s outbuildings are equally impressive: a 1910 Hops Barn recalling the area’s agricultural past, a fully renovated two-story 1881 barn with flexible potential for studio, workshop, or event space, and a fenced chicken coop for fresh eggs and morning rituals. Together, they offer endless possibilities for creative or agricultural pursuits.
Whether your vision is to cultivate the land, operate a boutique farm, or simply retreat from the world in a place of privacy and beauty, Hemlock Hill Farm provides a rare foundation of history, health, and harmony with the land.
Located minutes from Cooperstown’s renowned museums, baseball legacy, and farm-to-table dining, the property blends rural calm with cultural richness—offering the best of both worlds.
A unique blend of past and present, Hemlock Hill Farm is more than a home—it’s a living piece of upstate New York’s landscape and history, ready for its next chapter.
