Bucolic and Beautiful in Southern Saratoga County

Locust Tree Farm is named for the majestic black locust trees, which frame this hilltop farmhouse.  The Federal-era home, in-law cottage, and outbuildings are perfectly situated on a 54-acre parcel that might be the most beautiful estate 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 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 floorplan affords 4-5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, 2 fireplaces, wide board floors, and many closets.

A quarter mile away is the 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, 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. 15 minutes to shopping. Award-winning Burnt Hills Schools and low Saratoga County taxes.
