Property Description
Twin Brooks Farm, a historic 86-acre farm with captivating views of the Helderbergs, has been part of the Duanesburg landscape for more than two centuries. Believed to date to circa 1790, the farmhouse occupies land that traces its origins to the original tract granted to James Duane, Founding Father and namesake of the Town of Duanesburg. Over the years, the property has served as a dairy farm, agricultural farm, and, more recently, an equestrian facility. The main house has been thoughtfully updated and expanded while retaining its historic character. Original details, generous living spaces, and numerous improvements throughout reflect the home's long history and careful stewardship. The farm is well-equipped for a variety of agricultural and equestrian uses. Highlights include an 18-stall horse barn with two foaling stalls and office/tackroom, large garage and hay barn; and an original 2-story post-and-beam barn which once contained an additional apartment. The property features a natural spring-fed pond, gently rolling agricultural fields, wooded areas, frontage on two roads and even more outbuildings. Located just 25 minutes from Albany and Schenectady, Twin Brooks Farm combines historic significance and endless potential for future use agriculturally, gentlemen's farm or simply an opportunity preserve an important piece of local history.
