Historic 1850 Farmhouse, Moriah

Historic 1850 Farmhouse | 57.3 Acres | Moriah, NY

Step into a piece of Adirondack history with this inviting 1850 farmhouse nestled on 57.3 scenic acres along Elk Inn Road in the Town of Moriah, New York. Whether you're dreaming of a self-sufficient homestead, an equestrian retreat, or simply a peaceful country escape, this property offers the space, character, and potential to make it your own.

A Working Landscape Ready to Thrive The land is planted — a nascent orchard and vineyard feature apple, pear, peach, plum, persimmon, mulberry, and hazelnut trees alongside established grapevines. Beyond the orchard, the expansive acreage is primed for cultivation or livestock. The property has a proven history of supporting horses and cattle, making it a natural fit for those seeking an agricultural lifestyle. Supporting the operation are a hay barn, a large lean-to shed, and a garage — providing ample storage and workspace for equipment, animals, and more.

Timeless Character Inside The home's main floor offers generous living spaces including a large living room, a cozy dining room with views of the land behind the house, kitchen, full bathroom, and a practical mudroom. All bedrooms are located on the second floor, offering privacy and a classic farmhouse layout. Hardwood floors grace the first floor, with wood flooring throughout most of the second floor as well.

Smart, Flexible Heating — and Cooling Stay comfortable year-round with a thoughtfully layered system. A wood stove serves as the heart of the living room, while supplemental heat pumps keep five rooms comfortable through the seasons — doubling as cooling in the summer months. For the coldest winter nights, an additional coal/wood stove in the basement provides extra peace of mind.

Opportunity Awaits A small bedroom at the top of the stairs sits adjacent to existing kitchen plumbing — an ideal candidate for conversion to a second full bathroom. Most windows have been updated to energy-efficient double panes over the years, adding comfort and value.

Cozy and full of potential, this historic farmhouse is a rare opportunity to own a substantial piece of Upstate New York — rich in history, ready for your vision.
