Private Hilltop Estate with Indoor Pool in Afton NY, Broome County.
83 acres with fields, woods and a pond.
This has been the site of many fond memories for a family that lived, entertained and gathered here for over 40 years. They would enjoy the late winter boiling of sap, from the sugar bush, in their own sap house. The spring birth of young beef cattle and the bloom of wildflowers and apple trees. Summer swims in the ponds and more recently in the indoor pool. Fall harvests from the hay fields and gardens and hunting in the colorful maple and oak wood lots. Thanksgiving feasts in the large dining room where often 30 or more people would gather while mom played the Grand Piano which is still there. Sleigh riding and ice skating on their own ponds and hillsides. A great home for gatherings of friends or business.
