The historic Meadowbrook Farm is one of the oldest working farms in the southern Adirondacks. On 54 acres the property has 2 residences, a stunning recently restored hay barn with an architecturally unique roof system that resembles the inverted hull of a giant ship, cabins for staff housing and multiple barns and outbuildings that have supported the property’s long agricultural use. The main residence is a converted tipped purlin barn with a country kitchen, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and exposed post and beam work throughout. Attached to the main residence is what was formerly a cheese factory with a walk-in cooler, an aging area, sinks and surfaces for what could easily be converted back into a commercial kitchen. The second residence on the property is a two-bedroom, one bath home that was built in 2006, with an attached garage and large fenced front yard. From the front yard it is a short meander down to the banks of Glen Creek, which runs along the southern part of the property. Along the creek there are beautiful flats and open areas for fishing and multiple pooled areas. Glen Creek is well known regionally for its excellent brown trout fishing. The main barn on the property, which was built in 1903 and underwent a major restoration in 2012, has livestock stalls on the ground floor and an open loft area on the second floor that was previously used as an event venue. The roof framing system on this barn is extremely unique, creating a large awe-inspiring space on the second floor. There are multiple other smaller barns and outbuildings on the property for housing animals and machinery and several large pasture areas. At the back of the property, Glen Creek meanders into a beaver pond and has created a large open wetland area that has attractive views of the mountains to the east and northeast and supports a wide array of wildlife and native flora. The possibilities on this property are endless. Gore Mountain is a twenty-minute drive north.
