If 11.6 acres isn’t enough for you, take comfort in the fact that this Dutchess County raised Ranch abuts protected land.

The Buttercup Farm Audubon Sanctuary’s main denizens consist of the feathery kind, thanks to a bird-friendly mix of marshy, flooded woodlands and open grasslands. In fact, over 80 species bird call Buttercup Farm home, like blue herons, bobolinks, woodcocks, red-tailed hawks, American kestrels, and pileated woodpeckers, just to name a few. Now, you can cozy right up next to all of your fine feathered friends in a well-kept, three-bedroom Ranch house situated on the border of the sanctuary.
