Sacrewell Farm in Peterborough has been given £63,787 to save its "treasured" farmhouse.
The National Lottery Heritage Fund awarded the grant to the working farm and visitor attraction in Peterborough.
The 18th-century Grade II listed farmhouse has been empty for more than a decade and is in "urgent need of care".
The grant will be used to look into the necessary work to bring the farmhouse back to life.
Alongside preserving the building, the project will explore how the farmhouse can be used in the future.
A spokesperson for the farm said this is to ensure it has a "meaningful role" for visitors, the community, and the next generation.
The project will also focus on environmental protection, enhancing biodiversity, and improving access to Sacrewell's heritage.
The farm has said this will allow it to be enjoyed by everyone.
The funding marks a crucial step in ensuring the long-term future of the farmhouse, supporting the sustainability of The William Scott Abbott Trust, which has operated Sacrewell Farm since 1964.
Karen Newton, general manager of Sacrewell Farm, said: "We are incredibly grateful to The National Lottery Heritage Fund and everyone who plays the National Lottery for making this project possible.
"The farmhouse is at the heart of Sacrewell’s story, and this funding gives us the chance to not only save the building but also reimagine how it can serve our community for generations to come.
"This is the beginning of an exciting journey to protect our heritage, connect people with the land, and ensure that Sacrewell continues to thrive as a place where history, nature, and community come together."
Sacrewell Farm is a 50-acre working farm and visitor attraction offering experiences with rare breed animals, a restored 18th-century watermill, and educational programmes.
The farm will be running events throughout the project, with details posted on its website.
