70-98 Ryan Rd Pine Plains, NY 12567

This 343-acre farmland property, eligible for the National Register of Historic Places, features several impressive barn structures, a fully functioning distillery, and a tasting room. Known as Dutch's Spirits on Harvest Homestead Farm, the distillery has historical significance, originally built in 1932 as Dutchess County's largest bootlegging operation during the Prohibition Era. Operated by Dutch Schultz, the distillery produced Sugar Wash Moonshine in a network of underground bunkers and tunnels beneath a cow barn. In 2020, a newly constructed building integrated the underground complex with a state-of-the-art distillery, commercial kitchen, and tasting room, re-introducing Sugar Wash Moonshine along with bourbon and a variety of bitters. The property has served as a productive farm raising turkeys, chickens, pigs, cows, potatoes, and corn. It offers potential for various uses, including continuing the distillery and tasting room, reviving it as a full-time farm, or developing an indoor-outdoor event space. The property neighbors the Mashomack Fish & Game Preserve Club and is located within a thirty-minute drive to Hudson and Rhinebeck, and two hours to Manhattan. The building size is 7036 square feet.
