Washington Tract Farm: A Federal-Era Estate Rooted in American History. Built in 1795 on land gifted by George Washington and Governor George Clinton, Washington Tract Farm is more than a home. It is a living heirloom. Located in Kirkland just beyond the tree-lined streets of Clinton, New York, this Federal-style estate offers a rare chance to inhabit Americas early story. The residence rises with quiet grandeur, its symmetry, tall pilasters, and elliptical windows exemplifying Federal design. Inside, hand-planed doors, mantels, and wide-plank floors attributed to early architect Isaac Williams endure. Most remarkable is the oak-paneled library, designed by W. & J. Sloane of New York City, the famed luxury design house that furnished the White House, the Breakers, and Rockefeller, Whitney, and Vanderbilt homes. Modeled on Hampton Court, the library is a scholarly jewel echoing the intellectual spirit of nearby Hamilton College. Spanning 5,084 square feet, the estate offers five bedrooms, four baths, and four fireplaces across two principal floors. A grand hall, parlors, and dining spaces flow, while private quarters and a walk-up attic preserve intimacy and adaptability. Enhanced with modern systems including electrical, plumbing, heating, and water filtration, the home lives easily while retaining its historic soul. Set on 4.5 acres, the property is anchored by a preCivil War wrought iron fence and stone piers. Mature maples, heirloom plantings, rebuilt stone walls, and outbuildings recall its agrarian past. Once a working farm, today it offers tranquility. Moments from Clinton village and Hamilton College, the estate balances permanence with cultural vitality. Lectures, concerts, and exhibitions enrich daily life. Legend suggests that freedom seekers once found sanctuary here, its cavernous hearth offering warmth on their journey north. Each generation has honored the estates legacy, preserving history while allowing life to unfold within its walls. Washington Tract Farm is not merely a residence. It is an architectural treasure, a cultural neighbor, and a piece of Americas enduring story. Are you ready to become its next worthy steward?
