Westwind Farm & Airport, located at 1342 Sacandaga Road in Galway, NY, stands as one of the rare properties in New York State where two great traditions - equestrian heritage and private aviation - meet on the same stretch of 210 acres of land. With its stately home overlooking rolling paddocks, its classic stables, and its impressive indoor arena with, Westwind reflects a time when farms were built not only for function, but for legacy. The farm's equestrian facilities speak to decades of serious horsemanship: a heated and insulated 70 x 200 indoor arena, an outdoor dressage arena 66 x197 positioned for optimal drainage and sunlight, and multiple paddocks designed for ample turnout, conditioning, and rotational grazing. The barn has 9 stalls, 2 with run in stalls to their grass paddocks, rubber pavers in the aisleways, tack room and feed rooms. These features weren't added casually - they were built for riders who understood the demands of training, breeding, and developing horses at the highest level. Westwind has long been a place where horses were not simply kept, but prepared, polished, and brought into their prime. Yet what makes Westwind truly unique is the presence of its airplane hangars and grass runway, stretching across the property like a quiet reminder of another era in America. This is a farm where the owners didn't just ride - they flew. The family behind Westwind, known for their athleticism and refined taste, were both professionally trained equestrians and licensed pilots, embodying a lifestyle that demanded discipline, precision, and significant financial commitment. Their dual passions shaped the property into a rare hybrid: a place where a horse could be schooled in the arena while a plane taxied across the grass runway. The elegant 5000 sq foot home with outdoor pool and cabana for entertaining guest or a quick swim to cool off after a game of tennis on the clay courts. Enjoy the putting green with 4 par 3 tee boxes. The large trainer's apartment above the barn gives plenty of private living space. Also included on the property, is the 2000 sq ft apartment above the hangar for your frequent flyer quests. Historically, this pairing is not as unusual as it seems. Many equestrians - especially those involved in hunter/jumper sport, dressage and breeding programs - have also been pilots. Both worlds require sharp instincts, technical skill, and the ability to make split‐second decisions. Both require a deep respect for the animal or machine beneath you. And both attract individuals who value independence, adventure, and mastery. Today, Westwind Farm & Airport stands ready for the next discerning owner - someone who sees the value in a property that can support breeding, training, sales, rehab, or lay‐up programs, while also offering the extraordinary convenience of a private airport. Clients can fly in with ease to see their horses, evaluate prospects, or travel north on their way to Saratoga, Lake Placid, Vermont, HITS or south toward Wellington and Ocala. For professionals who operate across states, regions, or circuits, Westwind offers something almost no other New York farm can: a seamless connection between the equestrian world and the sky above it This is not just a farm. It is a chapter of New York history, preserved in land, lineage, and lifestyle. Property being sold as is. There are 3 tax parcels to this property.
