Washington Tract Farm: A Federal-Era Estate Rooted in American History. Built in 1795 on land gifted by President 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 America's 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. A grand hall, parlors, and dining spaces flow with ease, while private quarters and a walk-up attic preserve intimacy and adaptability. Modern systems including electrical, plumbing, heating, and water filtration support today's living while preserving the home's historic soul. Set on 4.5 acres, the property is anchored by a pre--Civil War wrought iron fence and stone piers. Mature maples, heirloom plantings, rebuilt stone walls, and outbuildings recall its agrarian past. Moments from Clinton village and Hamilton College, the estate balances permanence with cultural vitality. Washington Tract Farm is not merely a residence. It is an architectural treasure, a cultural neighbor, and a piece of America's enduring story. Are you ready to become its next worthy steward? Interested purchasers must register in advance to be placed on the waiting list for access, as the estate will be offered through a confidential bidding process.
