The Griffith Gover House dates back to the late 1700s. Backing to the preserved 144 acres of Phillips Farm enjoy never changing views of wildflower fields and the Mill Chase. Totaling over .67 acres of formal gardens and hardscape that give way to whimsy with the early 1900s dance pavilion and masonry megaphone used during its years as a boarding house. This property brings the outside in with formal living spaces opening to porches, amazing views of the gardens and incredible light in every season. In 2000, the house underwent a meticulous multi-million-dollar renovation, restoring the infrastructure from the ground up with master craftsmen incorporating historical accuracy with modern purpose. This once-in-a-lifetime home is complete with an exquisite English Hartley Botanic greenhouse, stone guest cottage and ample off-street parking, a rare feature in the village.
