Welcome to Locust Tree Farm in the Historic Farming Town of Charlton

Locust Tree Farm is named for the majestic black locust trees framing this home perched on a knoll.  The Federal-era home, in-law cottage, and outbuildings are perfectly situated on a 54-acre parcel that might be the most beautiful land in the Town of Charlton in Saratoga County. It is now available for the first time in nearly fifty years.

For the last two centuries, this picturesque setting has been a working farm, the summer home of a wealthy manufacturer, and finally, a small Standardbred horse stable. What will it be next? The possibilities are endless…

The main house is a spacious circa 1820 farmhouse, with later additions. The 3400 square foot floorplan affords 4-5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, 2 fireplaces, wide board floors, and many closets.

A quarter mile away is the 1030 square foot 2-BR, 2-BA 1930s “Tea House” overlooking a pristine pond and the meandering Alplaus Kill. Featuring a cobblestone fireplace, stunning curved decks, and a large, covered porch, it could be used as a caretaker’s or in-law cottage, an Airbnb, or, with town approvals, a corporate retreat or an amazing wedding venue.

The whole farm is a paradise. The private acres of rolling land feature glorious views, privacy, walking or ATV trails through the woods, a small sugarbush, 4 paddocks, an 8-stall horse barn, lighted tennis, and pickleball courts, and an early hay barn and hog house. Ample parking with extensive paved driveways, a 2-car carport, and 1 attached and 3 detached garages. The owned solar panels offer significant utility savings. There are acres of old mixed hardwoods with walking trails. You will never want to leave…and you don’t have to! It’s all here!

Located only 30 minutes from Saratoga or Albany, 20 minutes to Amsterdam, and 15 minutes to schools and shopping. Award-winning Burnt Hills Schools and low Saratoga County taxes.
