Marion Carll Farm is a historic home and property located in Commack in Suffolk County, New York. It consists of the 1860 farmhouse, privy, garage, smoke house, milk house, horse barn and carriage house, sheep barn, and four smaller barns. Marion Carll left the home and property to the Commack UFSD.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]

In 2010 the Commack School District attempted to sell the historic Farm to Holiday Corp/Hamlet. The district residents voted it down primarilly due to a very small turnout and lack of information. The district however continues to try to find alternative means to support the property as it is has become a financial burden.[3]

During an informational meeting the Peconic Land Trust [4] and Suffolk County[5] both expressed interest in acquiring the property and/or finding alternatives to building town homes on the 9 acres (3.6 ha) of land. Given this proported interest, the District continues to welcome any and all proposals related to alternatives. As stated at numerous public meetings, given the cap on property taxes recently passed in New York and fully enacted in May 2012,it will be impossible for the District to continue to pay any costs associated with the property simultaneously funding the myriad of State mandated programs, educational and otherwise.
