The Hockley family lived here for 153 years, from 1871 until May 1, 2024. It's been a place for farming, shoemaking, cattle dealing, blacksmithing, carriagemaking, mowing equipment and ice skate sharpening, tractor and lawnmower repair. Today it's just a quiet and beautiful place to enjoy life. An easy walk from Bedford Village, it's also a gateway to refreshing walks in the nearby Guard Hill Preserve. In 1939, the property was sub-divided into two parcels at 699 and 701 Guard Hill Road that today are comprised of seven buildings: including 2 residences (each a two-bedroom home), a decommissioned blacksmith shop, a 19th century small stables/chicken coop, a 1942 cinder warehouse/makers space, a 19th century barn converted into a heated 3-bay garage, and the original "little red building" that was built in the 18th century. The two houses are tastefully furnished and beautifully maintained.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
