About this home

In the idyllic countryside of upstate New York, just 15 minutes from Cornell University and its world class equine and veterinary centers and 7 miles from Finger Lakes National Forest and 17,000 acres of riding trails, lies a property of rare distinction and opportunity. This 39.3-acre estate combines professional-grade equestrian infrastructure with refined rural living—crafted for those who expect excellence in both lifestyle and performance. At its heart stands an extraordinary eventing and training complex, purpose-built for the serious equestrian. The 80x176 indoor riding arena is flanked by 18 matted stalls, each with windows for light and ventilation. The Morton barn’s thoughtful layout includes 2 tack rooms, 5 grooming bays, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen, office, heated wash stall, and 2 heated viewing lounges overlooking the arena—creating an environment suited to private enjoyment, elite training, or a thriving boarding enterprise. Complementing the main barn is a 4-stall breeding/isolation barn with tack room and 4 storage bays, 5 run-in sheds, and a 6-pen kennel — each positioned with both practicality and beauty in mind. A two-story Carriage House offers excellent potential for conversion into accommodation for a manager or visiting riders. Designed for all disciplines, the grounds include a 100x200 outdoor arena with all-weather footing, a XC course, and wooded riding trails. Set amid tranquil farmland, 28 acres of fenced paddocks encompass ten pastures, with sweeping views from the charming gazebo. Ample parking accommodates trailers, guests, and staff vehicles. Presiding over the property is a historic 1900 Stickley Craftsman farmhouse, a fine example of early 20th-century design. Featuring three bedrooms, one and a half baths, and a wraparound porch, the residence has been lovingly maintained and furnished with authentic Stickley pieces, preserving its timeless character and charm. Distinguished yet welcoming, this estate offers an extraordinary opportunity for discerning buyers—whether envisioned as a boutique equestrian business, training center, or private equine retreat in one of America’s most scenic regions.
