The Farm House w. Garden Cottage at Picardy Farms

Welcome to The Farm House, a spacious 1830 Greek Revival landmark residence at Picardy Farms.

This lovingly restored 19th-century Greek revival home is full of history and character and possesses a surprisingly spacious interior. A wide center hall opens to a light-filled living room and separate dining room. French doors and two huge bay windows let the outdoors in. The home is an impressive, tastefully furnished 7 bedroom property with 5 full baths and 2 powder rooms and chefs kitchen. Accommodates up to 14 guests.

Please no events and no pets.

The original main house is a classic 4 bedrooms upstairs with Living, Dining and kitchen spaces on the main level. A self-contained attached second home includes another living and dining space lined with bookshelves and has another of the home's 5 fireplaces. The large country kitchen features 2 deep farm style sinks, a 6 burner professional stove, and spacious pantry. This room opens onto an informal dining area. In the home's lower level, a 'tavern room' opens out to a historic stone well. On that level, there is another full kitchen and full bath, as well as a laundry room. This section opens into the guest wing with an office and 3 more bedrooms plus full bath, and a mudroom.

On the property are curving stone walls, white picket fences, old growth hardwoods, stream with a wooden bridge, and perennial gardens. Outbuildings include a large playhouse, a carriage house with original stone foundation, and a barn converted to a 2 car garage.

This listing is for the main house and tavern section of the home, which can be closed off by a sliding barn style door.

Once home to jazz legend Artie Shaw—who said “The place where for the first time in my life I had found a real home, a warm sense of security, and a feeling of calm and peace of mind”—Picardy Farms continues to radiate that same grounding, creative energy.

Unlock the magic of the Hudson Valley at this quintessential historic compound, designed for you to stay with intention. Nestled on 10 private acres with access to an additional 33 acres of open fields and wooded trails, the property offers wide pastoral views from the farm and Catskill Mountain views from the upper meadow—just two hours from NYC.

Located just outside the charming town of Pine Plains, Picardy Farms is close to a variety of local gems. Enjoy farm-to-table dining at Stissing House, casual bites at Champetre, or morning coffee from Eliza’s Bakery. Explore scenic hikes at Stissing Mountain or swim and kayak at nearby Twin Island Lake. Drive 20 minutes to Millerton for shopping, antiques, and indie films at The Moviehouse.
