Haviland Hollow Farm is comprised of two large parcels of land and has two rivers running along the West boundary of the property, the East Branch of the Croton River and the Haviland Hollow Brook.

From the 1920’s until the 1970’s, these two parcels of land, encompassing approximately 250 acres, made up one of Patterson’s premier cattle farms. The existing barn and milk house (144X40), which has been meticulously restored, was home to cattle and horses. The owners grazed their cattle all the way to the edge of the East Branch River in the summer and used the higher land across the road for winter grazing and hay crops.

The 130 acre parcel on the west side of East Branch Road, formally Colonial River Farm, has remained an active agricultural parcel until this day. Crop production has included corn, hay, pumpkins, zucchini, cabbage and broccoli to name a few. The 120 acre parcel on the east side of East Branch Road, although over grown, remains essentially undisturbed since its days as a cattle farm.

All of the original farm roads, stone wall systems and paddock areas are still intact. The new owner has restored the farm to its original beauty, as a working horse farm. Two full sized polo fields (with sand footing) have been built along with a 50 stall barn, indoor and outdoor arenas. Both summer and winter fenced-in turnout for grazing have been established.

Bringing these two parcels of land back to its original agricultural use has definitely brought back a piece of Patterson’s history.
