From the Agent: "This truly extraordinary 19th-century farmstead has been transformed into a sprawling, bucolic compound. Gary Hume and Georgie Hopton—two renowned British artists who split their time between London and Accord—have left their unique stamp on nearly every inch of the 41.5-acre property and its structures. You’ll appreciate their eye and attention to both the details and the grand scheme of things. With two adjacent lots including woodlands, meadows, ancient orchards, gardens, and tranquil ponds, this property guarantees unparalleled privacy and enjoyment. A terraced garden with a cedar sauna sits next to a spring-fed swimming pond. Paths cut through meadows rich with vibrant wildflowers. A dock is set in a spring-fed pond dotted with lily pads. And there are many more buildings to explore (a map will be provided to visitors)! The property also has a generator that serves the entire compound, and all electrical wires are buried to preserve the uninterrupted landscape."

Set in Accord, New York, the compound is a serene upstate escape. The towns of Kingston and Woodstock are less than an hour’s drive away.
