The Orchard Keep
c.1820 Farmhouse | 43+ Acres | Otego, NY
This is the one for anyone who’s ever fallen in love with a wide plank floor, obsessed over original detail, or dreamed of owning a farmhouse with soul. A rare offering of heritage, elegance, and acreage. This circa 1820 Greek Revival farmhouse is sited on 43+ private acres in the rollings hills of Otego, NY—and offered with two parcels, including a 14+ acre buildable lot with a roughed-in drive (sell it, build it, or just keep it for the elbow room).
Steeped in original character, the residence features original flooring, custom built-in cabinetry, and stunning bookshelves—each detail preserved with care. And every window reveals a curated vista: an apple orchard, rolling meadows, or a formal garden room. Modern updates (think all new thermal windows, and updated systems) make for a turn-key experience.
The gardens are showstoppers, too. Originally designed by Gregory Long (President Emeritus of NYS Botanical Garden), and later updated by Don Statham—whose client list includes Anna Wintour. Expect elegant outdoor “rooms,” a Hemlock allée for privacy, a fenced veggie garden, and mown walking paths through apple trees and meadows.
Outbuildings include: A modern barn with solar panels and a woodworking studio. And a garden shed with a (legit bragging-rights) door from Yoko Ono’s farm
Just 2.5 hours from the GWB, minutes to the trendy village of Franklin, and convenient to both Oneonta and Delhi, this is your upstate dream—hidden in plain sight.
