Raise Your Hand If You Want to Fix Up This Gigantic Victorian Farmhouse
If there's one thing that separates true old house lovers from the rest of the pack, it's their ability to see the potential in anything. We wouldn't turn down the chance to own a perfectly restored historical home, but it's the fixer-uppers-the ones with great bones crying out for love-that really get to us. So we naturally fell head-over-heels for this gigantic Victorian farmhouse in Millerton, NY (a little village just two hours north of New York City-right near Rhinebeck, where we host our Country Living Fair every June!).
The house, which has "Save Me!" written all over it, clearly needs a paint job, but the interior is in good working order and the details are all there. We spy an original staircase, stained glass windows and an abundance of historic wood trim.
The property is for sale with 270 acres that also include a 2-bedroom guest cottage, an antique post-and-beam horse barn, several old silos and a large auction barn measuring over 6,000 sq. ft. We'd jump at the chance to turn this beauty into a bed & breakfast and maintain a working farm on the sprawling land.
For the naysayers out there, we promise you: It can be done!
Asking price: $3,240,000
