Interested in farming sustainably? You could benefit from New York’s passion for quality local food through looking at this 97-acre turnkey farm located in Andes, a hot hamlet in the heart of Delaware County, NY in the Greater Western Catskills. Evans and Evans Farm has profited from regenerative farming practices for 18 years, the last 12 here in Andes. The owners are retiring, but they have benefited from the strong demand for premium grass-fed meat from NYC (just 150 miles south) as well as from the local area. The farm’s operational infrastructure includes a versatile five-barn complex ready for livestock management, equipment and hay storage, while the entire pasture system is masterfully enclosed using a combination of high-tensile woven wire, electric fencing and frost-free hydrants throughout. Substantial grants are available from federal, state and local sources for genuine regenerative farming, making the sustainability of this farm easier to achieve. Protected agricultural status ensures a permanent agricultural tax discount, and the property is bordered by 322 acres of NYC-owned land offering unique opportunities to lease additional acreage for haying or grazing. Water resources are abundant, featuring a protected mountain spring with reliable gravity-fed water rights and a large pond. These provide significant water storage and recreational value near a secondary build-site. A natural babbling brook runs through the entire property. The 1850s farmhouse includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms and is optimized for a farm-to-table lifestyle with a south-facing sunroom ideal for early-season seed starting, and a high-efficiency wood stove for low-cost heating. Located just 6 minutes from the bustling hamlet of Andes and 20 minutes from the Belleayre ski resort, you have immediate access to regional markets while maintaining a secluded, top-of-the-hollow position. With its beauty and charm, Andes has become an attractive destination for weekenders and many permanent residents who work remotely from home. As such, it is a vibrant community with a strong market for local food. This farm is a golden opportunity to tap into that fast-growing market.

Boasting over 1600 acres of stunning landscapes and presiding over a glorious 68 acre lake in the Catskill Mountains, Lake Delaware Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of true American legacy, continuously in use by the same notable family since the 18th century. The Lake House allows a glimpse into the lifestyle of one of our nation’s most notable, founding aristocratic families. In 1686, the English crown granted 160,000 acres to Robert Livingston. Livingston Manor and the family seat of Clermont, made up much of what is now Dutchess and Columbia counties along the Hudson River. The family thrived there for centuries. By 1740 the Livingstons of Clermont had acquired one fifth of the Hardenberg Patent-2 million acres in the Catskill Mountains-which was distributed to the children of Robert Livingston “The Judge”. Gertrude Livingston received 20,000 acres the year she wed Morgan Lewis, who served in Washington’s army during the Revolution and was Governor of New York. He was dear friends with the likes of Lafayette, Alexander Hamilton and General Washington, whom his brother in law Chancellor Robert Livingston swore in as President. The centerpiece of Gertrude’s acreage was the magnificent Lake Delaware, where she and Lewis built the original Lake House circa1787. The landscape of this 1600+ acre parcel is exquisite, with rolling hills, meadows, old growth forests and open vistas. The valley is elevated far above sea level providing a refreshingly cool climate. One approaches The Lake House via a long winding driveway lined with fine, historic rock walls interrupted by delicate iron gates. The Lewises styled their home on classical architecture. The entry portico of the home, with its four massive Doric columns, runs the entire length of the front facade. Inside the center hall is an unusual carved spiral stair, with two sun filled 18th Century parlors on either side. From the center hall rooms spill out into later 19th Century additions with handsome details throughout- fine paneling and ceiling tracery in the dining room, marble fireplace mantels, and intricate inlaid floors. There are 8 bedrooms in total, all boasting baths en-suite, plus a bunk room on the attic floor with its own bath with double showers and sinks. Additionally there is a large eat-in kitchen, grand back stair with arched side openings, family room, butler’s pantry, mud room, laundry room and bar on the ground floor as well as an elevator. The home has the warm feel of a grand country inn- impressive in its scale yet comfortable by contemporary standards. One can feel the presence of generations of distinguished family members- the signers of the Declaration of Independence, the decorated military men, the Senators, Justices, and Gilded Age barons that have called this place home over the centuries. As impressive as the house is, it's the Lake itself that casts a spell on all who visit. Fresh, bracing and crystal clear, the lake invites one to dive in or take your pick of vessels in the historic boat house and row to your hearts content. on the grounds stands the ruins of elaborate formal gardens designed by renowned landscape architect Fletcher Steele with extraordinary views over the valley. Romantic structural elements and a lovely statue of a seated Diana, beckoning you to imagine the gardens in their original splendor. Surrounded by charming towns, farms and awe inspiring natural landscape, the property at its peak encompassed thousands of acres, with a mansion, working farms, stables, and even a private chapel, evoking the romance of an English manor. The estate holds the secrets of the history of the Hudson Valley, New York State and the Revolution that gave birth to the Constitution of the United States. Rich in history and character, Lake Delaware remains a captivating echo of aristocratic rural life, ideal for a bucolic compound or a once in a ten generation investment opportunity.

Built on the edge of a glorious 68 acre lake set in a high mountain valley in the scenic Catskill Mountains, the historic Lake Delaware Farm offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of a true American legacy that has been in continuous use by the same notable family since the 18th century. The Lake House, among the oldest buildings standing in Delaware County, offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of one of our nation's most notable, founding aristocratic families. In 1686, when most of the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountains were wild, untamed land and home to several Native American tribes, the English crown granted a large tract of 160,000 acres to Robert Livingston the Founder, making him Lord of the Manor. Livingston Manor with their family seat known as Clermont, made up much of what is now Dutchess and Columbia counties along the Hudson River. The family grew and thrived there for centuries, expanding the lineage and fortune through enterprise and marriages, and lining the banks of the river with their glorious homes where they could admire ''their mountains'' across the water. With the Hardenbergh patent of 1708 Queen Anne of England bestowed a vast 2,000,000 acre land grant, essentially the entirety of the Catskill Mountain range, on seven loyal and valued subjects. By 1740 the Livingstons of Clermont had acquired one fifth of the Hardenberg Patent which would be distributed to the children of Robert Livingston ''The Judge'' after his death. Gertrude Livingston received her gift of 20,000 acres in the same year that she married Col. Morgan Lewis, who served as an important General in Washington's army during the Revolution and went on to serve as the Governor of New York, as well as a Supreme Court Justice and Attorney General for New York State in the early federal period. He was dear friends with the likes of The Marquis de Lafayette, Alexander Hamilton and General Washington, whom his brother in law Chancellor Robert Livingston swore in as President. The centerpiece of Gertrude's acreage was the magnificent Lake Delaware, where she and Morgan Lewis built themselves the original Lake House circa1787, four years after the treaty to end the Revolutionary War was signed. This would be a special summer destination for the family since Gertrude already had inherited vast tracts of land from her mother Margaret Beekman Livingston, both in Rhinebeck and Staatsburg, in a home that in its present incarnation we know as The Mills Mansion. Their granddaughter Julia Delafield writes of Lake Delaware in her 19th Century biography of Lewis: ''General Lewis was attached to this estate. It was about 60 miles west of the Hudson...At one end of the lake, separated from it by a sloping lawn, he had erected by the mechanics of the estate a well-planned and extremely pretty mansion in the Grecian Style of architecture'' Now two generations later Delafield writes ''The Grecian villa is quadrupled in size, it is a charming summer retreat and has never been visited by pestilence'' The landscape of this more than 1600 acre parcel being offered- spanning across the towns of Delhi and Bovina-is exquisite, with rolling hills, meadows, old growth forests and open vistas out onto the mountain peaks. The valley is elevated far above sea level providing a crisp and refreshingly cool climate. One approaches The Lake House via a long winding driveway that snakes its way up the hill and is lined with fine, historic rock walls interrupted here and there by standing stones, framing out delicate iron gates. After passing various barns and outbuildings, one arrives at the top of the hill where the enormous structure of The Lake House and the stunning view across the lawn to Lake Delaware is revealed. Shaking off the English influence after the Revolutionary war, the Lewises styled their new home on the monumental architecture of ancient Rome and Greece.
