Land Description
Breese Hollow Farm presents a rare opportunity to own a productive, beautifully situated rural property in Rensselaer County, New York. Actively managed for both organic hay production and wildlife habitat since 2015, the land offers an exceptional combination of working farmland, maturing hardwood forest, and open shrubland - a diverse landscape ready to support whatever vision a buyer brings.
Whether you're seeking a private retreat with income-producing farmland, a premier hunting property, or a sound long-term land investment, Breese Hollow Farm delivers. Sweeping views of the Green Mountains and Taconics, established access, and a thriving agricultural operation make this one of the most complete and compelling rural offerings on the market.
Breese Hollow Farm is located along Breese Hollow Road in the Town of Hoosick, in the northeastern corner of Rensselaer County. The property sits within the northern Taconic Mountain range, where the rolling agricultural character of the Rensselaer County hill country gives way to the more elevated, forested terrain that defines the Vermont border country to the east. It is this transitional geography that produces the property's exceptional views, open in every direction, with the southern Green Mountain Range defining the eastern horizon.
The village of Hoosick Falls provides basic services within a short drive. Bennington, Vermont, approximately 15 miles to the east, serves as the primary commercial center for the area, offering groceries, dining, medical facilities, and retail. Albany is approximately one hour to the southwest, providing access to Albany International Airport, Amtrak service, and the full range of regional amenities. New York City is reachable in approximately three hours via the Taconic State Parkway and Interstate 87.
The property has excellent access along Breese Hollow Road, a town-maintained road, with approximately 2,362 feet of frontage and an existing driveway providing established ingress to the property interior. Power is available at Breese Hollow Road on the northeastern and southwestern corners of the property. A network of internal trails extends throughout the wooded portions of the property, providing access to the various field and forest areas depicted on the property maps.
The 135-Acre parcel is composed of three distinct habitat types distributed across gently rolling terrain: productive hay fields, young maturing hardwood forest, open shrubland, and fallow transition areas. Elevation ranges from approximately 780 feet along Breese Hollow Road to roughly 1,000 feet in the interior of the property, a rise that generates the sweeping, multi-directional views that define the land's character. Standing in the open field areas, sightlines extend to the southern Green Mountain ridgeline to the east and across the Rensselaer County hill country and Taconics in every direction.
The hay fields are actively managed and currently productive, with several fields being farmed for certified organic hay by a neighboring farmer and others maintained as fallow or managed for wildlife habitat. The property has no existing structures, affording a buyer full flexibility to select an area to establish a residence or farm compound, maximizing view corridors and taking advantage of the relationship between the open fields and surrounding woodland. Several locations on the property would support a well-positioned homesite requiring minimal site work.
The property sits within a well-documented wildlife corridor in eastern Rensselaer County and supports a full suite of native wildlife, including white-tailed deer, wild turkey, black bear, and a variety of migratory and resident songbirds. The diversity of habitat types, from active hay field to young forest to shrubland edge, creates conditions that are particularly attractive to hunters and wildlife enthusiasts.
Approximately half of the property is forested. The forest was harvested in the early 2000S and is now actively maturing back into a well-stocked mixed hardwood stand with a healthy variety of age classes and species. The species composition is diverse, including oak, maple, birch, beech, hickory, aspen, and scattered white pine and eastern red cedar. The understory is thick in harvested areas, contributing to the strong wildlife habitat value of the property's wooded portions, while older remnant stands provide additional structural diversity.
No formal timber inventory has been completed. The forest does not represent a near-term commercial timber asset but offers meaningful long-term appreciation potential as the stand continues to mature. A future thinning cycle would both generate income and improve the quality and growth rate of the residual trees. The mix of species and age classes, combined with the diversity of adjacent open habitat, creates conditions well suited to ongoing forest stewardship.
