A historic gentleman’s farm in Bedford Hills, NY, with roots stretching back to the 18th century — and a history that includes politicians, physicians and television pioneers — has come to market for the first time in more than three decades.
Known as Buxton Pond Farm, the 11-acre Westchester County property is asking $5.5 million, according to a press release from its listing brokerage.
Its current owners have spent the past several years restoring and preserving the estate’s many historic structures, including an 18th-century schoolhouse — believed to be the oldest surviving building of its kind in Bedford Hills — restored in 2023.
At the center of the property is a six-bedroom, five-bath Colonial home built in 1795.
The residence retains many of its original features, including wide-plank pine floors, woodburning fireplaces and a traditional clapboard exterior.
Rooms are oriented to take in garden views, opening out onto manicured lawns edged with heirloom rose beds and rare botanical plantings. A pool framed by flowering borders adds a modern note.
