The Miller Homestead is situated on an 80 acre plot of forested land in the hamlet of Harkness, town of Ausable, Clinton County, New York. Harkness which is within the Northeast corner of the Adirondack Park and approximately five miles from Lake Champlain, is situated between the historic village of Keesville and Peru in an area known for its apple orchards and the Ausable Chasm. The home is within 15 minutes of the Ausable Chasm and Port Kent where a ferry may be taken to Burlington, Vermont. Lake Placid and excellent skiing and Mountain biking are less than 45 minutes away. For shopping and additional Historic sites, the home is 20 minutes from Plattsburgh and 30 minutes from the Historical village of Essex.

One doesn't have to leave the property to enjoy a network of hiking and cross country ski trails through out the 80 acres of hills, fields and forested land. Stone walls lace the wooded areas reminding us of the legacy left behind when the area was once farmed. The property is posted as a no hunting zone and abounds with wildlife including turkey, deer, partridge, fox, beaver, and a variety of birds and waterfowl in the wetlands on the lower end of the property. There are mountain views in the back of the house as well as flower, raspberry, grape and herb gardens on the premises.

Montreal is less than an hour and a half away for a day or evening trip for site seeing and shopping.

Locally there are numerous hiking and cross country skiing areas, rock climbing on Pokamoonshine (great easy hike with excellent views of Lake Champlain), swimming and picnic at Ausable Point  State Park, Swimming and hiking at Point a Rush State Park, excellent white water and flat water paddling, and superb trout fishing on the famous Ausable River. One could also visit High Falls Gorge, and other waterfalls all within a 45 minute drive of the Homestead.
