Overview
Own a Piece of History: Unique Historic Train Station for Sale in Essex, New York
Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history with this iconic train station, dating back to 1927. Nestled on a large 15.4-acre property, almost touching the scenic Bouquet River, this unique estate offers an unmatched living or business opportunity.
Imagine the thrill of world-class train spotting right from your backyard. This historic site was initially built to serve the County Home residents and now stands as a testament to time, awaiting your vision.
Spanning 1,600 square feet, the building presents a unique blend of past and present.

The other half remains untouched, preserving its original character as a train station with passenger benches and authentic flooring.

Property eligible for State and National Historic Registry and if registered can unlock tax credits and can also potentially grant funding for the renovation of the structure. Please contact listing agent for additonal information on historic tax credits.
