About this property
The Hilltop Farmhouse — A Private Country Retreat
A beautifully renovated 1915 farmhouse on 5 private acres — where historic charm meets modern comfort.
Welcome to The Hilltop Farmhouse, a one-of-a-kind country retreat in beautiful Madison, New York.
Originally built in 1915, this classic Amish farmhouse has been thoughtfully renovated to provide the character and charm of an old country home with the modern conveniences you expect today.
Set on five private acres, there is room to spread out, relax, reconnect, and enjoy the outdoors. Wander the property and you may spot deer, rabbits, woodchucks and other local wildlife. Head up the hill in the evening for a fire around the hilltop fire pit, where you’ll enjoy spectacular western views, unforgettable sunsets and—especially in the fall—beautiful foliage.
Then come back to the house and enjoy the hot tub, seasonal pool, outdoor patio and barbecue area.
