Today's estate in Bedford, New York isn't just a home, it's a look back at another way of life. Bedford is home to a variety of classic estates, several of which we have looked as other estate of the day listings such as the sweetly charming Wildflower Farm. Sutton Corners Farm is a 12-acre spread landscaped by Frederick Law Olmsted. The Victorian home was built in the 1870s and looks out over a green landscape of rolling hills. The land includes a six-stall Victorian barn, four stables, a riding arena, paddocks, a guest cottage, studio, playhouse and pool. The home itself has five bedrooms and Victorian eyecandy details such as a wraparound porch, parquet floors, decorated ceilings, nine-foot windows and a large staircase. No kitchen or bathroom pictures so there may be some renovation needed. It is listed at $8.495 million. After the jump, porches made for long summer evenings.

I used to go to summer camp here (seriously) it's amazing. Very old house.

From the outside this looks like the home at 1313 Mocking Bird Lane (see "The Munsters"). Sad thing is the location. Bedford is really "Bedrock" as it is only a town of 16,000 people and probably not much of a social environ unless you need an escape.
Would be great for a summer retreat though as 12 acres should keep the wolves away depending on how close the house sits next to any access roads.
grade C.
