About this home
Offered for the first time in 35 years, Buxton Pond Farm is a rare and distinguished offering in the heart of Bedford Hills. Spanning 11 acres of rolling meadows, specimen gardens, and spring-fed waters, this historic gentleman’s farm reflects a blend of timeless elegance and meaningful provenance, set just minutes from the train station , local shops, schools and only 40 miles from Manhattan. At the center of the property stands a distinguished 1795 Colonial residence, meticulously preserved and exuding quiet sophistication. With six bedrooms and five full baths, the home features wideboard pine floors, original fireplaces, a wood shingle roof and classic clapboard exterior. Gracious rooms offer garden views and open onto lawns anchored by heirloom rose beds and rare botanical specimens. The estate is further enriched by a stunning pool oasis, framed by rolling lawns and flowering borders. A suite of historic structures adds unmatched character and functionality, an 8-stall barn with a private residence, a detached three-car garage, an antique chicken house and a greenhouse with attached office. The 1790 schoolhouse, now the oldest surviving in Bedford Hills, has been fully restored in 2023 and stands as a tribute to the property’s layered past. Buxton Pond Farm has long been a sanctuary for notable American visionaries. It was the country home of DeWitt Clinton, former Governor of New York and architect of the Erie Canal. David Hosack, botanist and physician to Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr, also left his imprint here through his botanical collaborations with Clinton. In the 20th century, the property was home to pioneering television actress and writer Gertrude Berg, who chronicled her life at the farm in the acclaimed 2009 documentary Yoo-Hoo, Mrs. Goldberg. Additionally, this land once served as a stop on the Underground Railroad, with historic stone walls offering refuge to those seeking freedom. Today, Buxton Pond Farm continues its spirit of contribution through the Buxton Pond Farm Center. This nonprofit learning hub offers immersive programming in herbalism, botany, and permaculture. In partnership with the Mount Kisco Interfaith Food Pantry, the Center's “Growing Field” initiative supplies fresh produce to local families in need—bridging past and present through purposeful living. This is not just a residence, it is an opportunity to steward a living legacy. Elegant, historically significant, and culturally rich, Buxton Pond Farm is one of Bedford’s most iconic properties.
