The Bailey Colony Farm, also known as the Estelle Farm, is a historic Matanuska Colony farmstead that dates from 1935. It is located along the Glenn Highway near Palmer, Alaska in Matanuska-Susitna Borough. It was part of a New Deal program opening farms in Alaska as part of assisting overpopulated rural areas of the lower 48 states of the US, in a program conceived of by FERA architect David Williams.

The Bailey Colony Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. The listing included two contributing buildings.^[1]^[2] It was the home of Ferber and Ruth Bailey and their children, who were colonists from Wisconsin. The house is a 28-by-32-foot (8.5 m × 9.8 m) 1+1⁄2-story building with a gambrel roof; the barn is a 32-by-32-foot (9.8 m × 9.8 m) log and frame built building also with a gambrel roof. Both were built in 1935. The barn was moved about 150 feet in the 1940s to its present location, when the Glenn Highway was widened.^[2]
