Property description

Where Legacy Meets Lifestyle—The Brower Estate Set at the end of a graceful maple-lined drive, the Brower Estate unfolds across 136 acres of pastoral beauty and storied charm. This remarkable property offers a rare blend of historical richness and modern flexibility—an idyllic setting for a private retreat, equestrian haven, or event venue.

Anchored by a timeless farmhouse, the residence showcases extraordinary craftsmanship: wide plank floors, deep-set limestone windows, soapstone sinks, and four fireplaces adorned with Dutch tiles and reclaimed forge wood mantels. An Aga stove centers the kitchen, while antique barn doors and ornate hardware lend a sense of curated nostalgia throughout.

Step outside and feel the estate’s next chapter begin. A striking new two-story deck off the English barn sets the stage for sunrise gatherings or moonlit celebrations—perfectly suited for entertaining, relaxing, or creative workshops.

The grounds invite purposeful living with organic gardens, a spring-fed pond, hayfields, and a riding arena. The Dutch barn—once a schoolhouse and Ralph Lauren furniture studio—is now primed to host events both grand and intimate. Additional spaces include a pool house and a thoughtfully designed modern apartment for extended stays or guest quarters.

Equestrian-ready infrastructure includes horse stalls, a tack and showroom, kennel, office, and workshop housed within the English barn. An Amish mortise-and-tenon barn adds architectural depth to the landscape.

Whether you’re envisioning a boutique retreat, a working farm, or simply a life steeped in serenity and style, the Brower Estate delivers on every front.
