High Meadows Farm · Terrain À vendre · 290,10 AC

Framed by the Taconic Range to the south and the Green Mountains of Vermont to the east, and rolling across nearly 288 acres of Rensselaer County farmland, High Meadow Farm presents one of the most complete working dairy operations in this corner of upstate New York, productive, modern, and rooted in a landscape that has been farmed continuously for generations.
The land speaks first. Certified organic, the pastures here are in excellent condition, open, well-drained, and shaped by the gentle topography of the Hoosick Valley into wide fields that catch light from horizon to horizon. Some 250 acres are fenced for grazing, with established laneways and water infrastructure supporting a thoughtful rotational grazing system that keeps the land productive and the herd well-managed. A stream corridor threads through the lower ground, lined with hardwoods and bordered by a band of woodland that provides shelter, privacy, and a quiet edge to what is otherwise an open, working landscape.
The farm infrastructure is serious and largely current. The centerpiece is a large freestall dairy complex built out substantially in 2018, comprising two connected open barn structures totaling well over 27,000 square feet of covered space, alongside a swing 16 milking parlor with 226 stalls that was installed in 2022. Two Harvestore silos, multiple equipment sheds, and a milk house complement the dairy operation. A solar array installed in 2024 contributes to operational efficiency. The complex is laid out logically, with gravel circulation roads and practical separation between working and residential areas. A three-bedroom farmhouse provides comfortable on-site living quarters suited to owner-operators or farm management staff.
High Meadow Farm is enrolled in the Agricultural District program and carries current agricultural exemptions, a meaningful protection for the tax base and an indication of the land's long-term productivity. The farm's established organic certification adds further dimension for buyers interested in continuing or building on that platform.
In addition, a conservation easement via the Agricultural Stewardship Association valued at $800,000 is in place and available. With the legwork on this easement done, this represents real value to an operator seeking to acquire the property with immediate and built-in advantages.
For an operator looking to step into a functioning dairy, or for a buyer seeking a combination of scale, infrastructure, and land quality set against one of the finest agricultural backdrops in the northeastern United States, this is an uncommon offering.
