Breese Hollow Farm is a 135-acre property in the northeastern corner of Rensselaer County, New York, situated within the Taconics where the rolling hill country gives way to the Vermont border terrain to the east. The result is exceptional long-range views of the southern Green Mountains and Taconics in every direction. The land is roughly equal parts productive hay fields and young maturing hardwood forest, with shrubland and fallow transition areas adding habitat diversity. Several fields are currently farmed for certified organic hay by a neighboring farmer. The forest was harvested in the early 2000s and is now maturing back into a well-stocked mixed hardwood stand -- oak, maple, birch, beech, hickory, and aspen -- with an established internal trail network throughout. The property sits within a well-documented wildlife corridor and supports white-tailed deer, wild turkey, black bear, and a variety of migratory songbirds. The mosaic of field, shrubland, and forest creates conditions well suited to hunters and wildlife enthusiasts alike. Access is excellent, with approximately 2,362 feet of frontage along Breese Hollow Road, an existing driveway, and electrical power available at the road. There are no existing structures, giving a buyer full flexibility to site a residence or farm compound to maximize the views and the relationship between open fields and surrounding woodland. Bennington, VT is approximately 6 miles east. Albany is one hour southwest. New York City is three hours via the Taconic State Parkway.
