About this property

Private 150-Acre Farmhouse near Universities

Discover the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience at Cedar Ridge Farm, a sprawling 150-acre property designed for families, university visitors, and outdoor enthusiasts. Ideally situated just 15 minutes from SUNY Canton, St. Lawrence University, Clarkson, and SUNY Potsdam, this spacious renovated farmhouse offers a peaceful alternative to the bustle of town. Whether you are here for a graduation weekend, a high-stakes hockey tournament, or a quiet getaway, you’ll find a relaxing home base that places you at the center of the North Country’s most vibrant communities while maintaining the total privacy of a rural home.

The property is a true four-season destination, inviting you to step off the porch and directly onto miles of private trails groomed for hiking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. For those looking to explore further, the farm sits just 15 minutes from the "Blue Line" of the Adirondack Park, a wilderness area larger than the five largest contiguous national parks in the U.S. combined. Nature lovers and sportsmen will also appreciate our close proximity to other outdoor adventures such as the Stone Valley Trails and the Upper and Lower Lakes Wildlife Management Area, with plenty of dedicated space back at the house to store outdoor gear or dry your waders after a day in the field.

Inside, the farmhouse is thoughtfully tailored to accommodate groups and multi-generational families with ease. We understand the needs of the modern traveler, providing a dedicated office space and high-speed Wi-Fi to keep you connected, along with a variety of toys and games to keep the younger ones entertained. We are also a pet-friendly property, featuring a dedicated dog kennel so your four-legged companions can join the adventure. From winter sledding and snowshoeing to summer rounds of cornhole and croquet on the lawn, Cedar Ridge Farm offers a unique, comfortable, and truly immersive experience in the heart of Northern New York.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
