Reportedly the largest post-and-beam structure built in North America in the 20th Century, Pinnacle Farm has set the standard by which all equestrian estates should be measured. The farm and its 65,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility has been home to some of the finest Friesian horses in the world. The owner’s passion for equestrian properties is evident—from the vet lab and the Belebro training mill to the farrier area, no expense has been spared constructing this one-of-a-kind, exquisite horse facility.

THE SETTING: Nestled in a private valley within two hours of New York City, this country farm is located in a secluded setting on a dead-end road with stone walls, ponds, and a stream hugged on three sides by state forest land. This magnificent site encompasses approximately 140 acres of pastures, hillsides, a splendid home site, and scenic views stretching toward New York and Massachusetts.

THE FARM: A grand foyer with a hardwood floor, a stone fireplace, and fountains provides an elegant welcome. The stunning, expansive rotunda is enhanced by a ceiling that soars more than 40 feet high, numerous windows, and rolled bluestone and hardwood floors. An event kitchen and dining area are tailor-made for large gatherings. A large conference room and exposition hall awaits finishing touches. Two executive offices with a phone system, a kitchen area, and a full bath provide privacy and quiet. An additional executive office with a bath is located on the second level.

THE EQUESTRIAN FACILITIES: Within this barn structure is a residence that includes a fully equipped kitchen with granite counters, two large bedrooms, two full baths on the second floor, a laundry area with a half bath, hardwood floors, a central vacuum system, and a living and dining room with large fieldstone fireplaces. The vet lab includes an X-ray facility, a darkroom, and pharmacy storage. The breeding area has a stall and a palpitation chute. More than 50 stalls by Loddon of England boast poured rubber flooring. The drive-in basement offers two entrances in addition to a huge storage area for trailers, carriages, and farm equipment; an employee lunch room with a kitchen and a half bath; additional storage rooms; and three quarantine stalls. A large service elevator serves all three levels. Three video-equipped foaling stalls and a viewing room, a feed room, a large walk-in cooler, a farrier shop with a direct entrance, and a tack room are other highlights. Nine large grass pastures with heated Nelson waterers and French drainage and four-panel oak fencing with diamond wire add to the beauty of this bucolic setting. The estate also features an equipment building, a full-service generator, and a sprinkler system.
