The Farm House at Picardy Farms

Welcome to The Farm House, a spacious 19th-century Greek Revival and the landmark residence of Picardy Farms.

This 4BR, 3.5BA home sleeps 8 and features a stately living room with grand piano, formal dining for 10, sunny breakfast room, and a fully equipped chef’s kitchen. Two bedrooms have en suites; two share a hall bath.

Once home to jazz legend Artie Shaw—who said “The place where for the first time in my life I had found a real home, a warm sense of security, and a feeling of calm and peace of mind”—Picardy Farms continues to radiate that same grounding, creative energy.

Unlock the magic of the Hudson Valley at this quintessential historic compound, designed for you to stay with intention. Nestled on 10 private acres with access to an additional 33 acres of open fields and wooded trails, the property offers wide pastoral views from the farm and Catskill Mountain views from the upper meadow—just two hours from NYC.

Located just outside the charming town of Pine Plains, Picardy Farms is close to a variety of local gems. Enjoy farm-to-table dining at Stissing House, casual bites at Champetre, or morning coffee from Eliza’s Bakery. Explore scenic hikes at Stissing Mountain or swim and kayak at nearby Twin Island Lake. Drive 20 minutes to Millerton for shopping, antiques, and indie films at The Moviehouse.

The estate includes four unique residences that can be rented individually or together:

• The Main House (4BR, sleeps 8)
• The Garden Cottage (3BR, sleeps 6, connected to The Main House)
• The Barn (3BR, sleeps 6, open-concept with rustic charm)
• The View House (3BR, sleeps 6) – perched up the hill from the historic farm, with modern interiors and breathtaking mountain and sunset views

With a stay at Picardy Farms, we invite you to get inline with your highest self. All guests have access to curated wellness areas and a full gym. A beautifully restored schoolhouse serves as a dedicated yoga and meditation studio.
