The manor dates back to the 1790s. It was then that a real noble manor house grew on the site of a wooden country house. After changing several owners, in 1750, the site at the intersection of the Okkerville and Okhta rivers was donated to Mark Poltoratsky for special services in the field of culture. Poltoratsky served as director of the Singing Court Chapel and went down in history as the first Russian singer to perform in an Italian opera.

In the heyday, the Poltoratsky manor was a spacious and rich estate. The extensive farm consisted of cellars, sheds, stables and hayloft. In greenhouses, greenhouses and greenhouses, the family grew vegetables and flowers, and the picturesque orchard produced an abundant apple harvest in the fall.

At the beginning of the XIX century Poltoratsky decided to sell the estate, and in 1828 the estate passed to the new owner - Princess Zinaida Shakhovskaya. At the same time, an additional utility building was added to the main building.

The modern name of the estate was given by the name of Vasily Utkin, the magistrate and the second husband of Zinaida Shakhovskaya. When she died, the princess bequeathed the estate to the Imperial Philanthropic Society, but her husband remained the actual owner of all the buildings and the garden. After his death, the dilapidated estate was abandoned. Numerous difficult conditions of the will prevented the fulfillment of the last will of the hostess.

In 1783, by the decision of Emperor Alexander II, the building was given to the Okhtinskaya Mariinsky Almshouse. In 1881, the Imperial Philanthropic Society established an orphanage on the territory of the Utkina dacha, and later a hospital for the mentally ill. As such, the former estate stood until the revolution.

In 1920, the first people started talking about the cultural significance of the house: it turned out that the walls and plafond of the rooms preserved paintings by Giovanni Scotti and rich stucco work. However, these discoveries had little impact on the fate of the building.

Like many other architectural monuments, over time, the estate turned into a Soviet communal apartment. After the relocation of the house in 2010, the building remained abandoned.

Since 2012, the estate is a branch of the State Museum of Urban Sculpture. At the moment, the object is being restored. Guided tours are available in the building
