Former Adolphus Busch Summer Home 

Cooperstown, New York

A sprawling 18 acre estate with 12,000 square feet faces Otsego Lake.  This waterfront property has six bedrooms, six and half baths and nine fireplaces. The architect of this federal-style estate named it "Farmlands".  The home was built in 1901 for hops dealer, Simon Uhlmann in 1901 and named Uncas Lodge.  In 1904, Uhlmann sold the estate to a man with a last name that might sound familar:  Busch as in Adolphus Busch, co-founder of Anheuser-Busch. This estate was owned by the Busch family and their descendants for 117 years though in 2021 the time had come for the property to pass onto new ownership.
