If you are a fan the British period drama television series and wish to have your very own Downtown Abbey where you can be your very own lord or duchess, then begin to work on coming up with $23.5 million to pay for a picturesque 466-acre equestrian farm estate in Poughquag, NY that is now very much on the market, Realtor reports.
Known as the Sugar Maple Farm, the estate boasts a breathtaking outside scenery of tree-lined paths, ponds, and a vast area of luscious greenery that will lead you to the eight-bedroom Georgian mansion.
Moving inside, there is no question that the 18,803-square-feet mansion has an abundance of historical charm, enough to make the Crawley family jealous. In the formal dining room, there are hand-painted murals everywhere plus an enormous fireplace that is topped with colonial-style mantel and is kept well-lit by a romantic crystal chandelier.
Of course, the master suite is fit for any lord or duchess with its private sitting area and touches of opulence in every detail of the room, plus a master bath that comes with a soaking bath that offers a great view of the grazing areas.
Considering that royals and the royal-like seem to have that innate love for books and reading, the estate comes with a classic study room that could house hundreds of books in its built-in bookshelves. It features wood-paneled walls, and a fireplace. Can you smell the cigar smoke and classic port yet?
Sugar Maple Farm has almost every amenity that you would no longer need to leave the confines of the property, ever. The estate gets its very own indoor basketball court, a gym, and a swimming pool. However, if you are not much into those physical activities, you could just amble around the acreage and enjoy its abundant presence of nature.
