This historic brick farmhouse is a horse lover's dream. It is a beautiful four-bedroom, two full-bathroom home with an indoor riding arena, outdoor riding arena, two-story historic barn with horse stalls, a newer 48x32' pole barn, and an additional two-stall garage on 14 acres.
The home has a picturesque wraparound porch, farmhouse charm, and thoughtful updates throughout. The kitchen has been updated for today's living while preserving its charm with a classic farmhouse sink and era-appropriate stove. Enjoy the Harman pellet stove and main floor laundry. You will also find a den and a beautiful living room with a newer Jotul F-400 Castine wood stove. Off the kitchen is a wet bar/bar room and full bathroom. Three bedrooms and a full bathroom are upstairs. Original wood throughout. Whole-house generator, updated mechanicals and appliances (see full list for dates).
The property is 14 beautiful acres with several outbuildings, including the indoor riding arena with observation/tack room. Currently, there are four horse stalls (can be reconfigured for more), an outdoor riding arena, pastures fenced with electrified high-tensile wire, two heated livestock waterers, plenty of hay storage in the old barn, livestock shelters in the pastures, and a fenced-in chicken coop. The historic barn received a new roof in 2018.
A rare opportunity to own a turnkey horse property with character, acreage, and space to grow.
