Rooted in the enduring spirit of early American architecture, this remarkable farmstead embodies permanence, and a deep connection to the land. Built in 1853, the substantial farmhouse has been thoughtfully modernized yet preserves historic character and authenticity with random-width pine floors, soaring ceilings, and deeply set windows. The beautifully renovated kitchen features soapstone countertops, a generous island, and a dedicated serving station. The primary suite offers a particularly inviting retreat, warmed by its own fireplace and opening to a private balcony. An elegant ensuite bath, complete with a classic clawfoot tub completes this tranquil sanctuary.
An extraordinary 18-acre setting is designed for enjoyment in every season. The grounds feature an inground pool and spa framed by beautifully crafted stone walls reclaimed from the original mill that once stood on the property. A stone pool house, complemented by a pergola-shaded patio, incorporates reclaimed beams and stone and is ready to host memorable celebrations. Two gently babbling creeks converge on the property and meander through the sweeping landscape.
The property’s collection of outbuildings offers an exceptional range of possibilities. The traditional bank barn is a captivating space for treasured collections, storage, or festive barn parties . A multi-level six-car garage provides abundant space for vehicles and equipment. A separate two-story studio or workshop, complete with heating, A/C, woodstove and garage, offers remarkable versatility. Whether as an artist’s studio, writer’s retreat, hobbyist’s workshop, or home office, it provides a rare opportunity to pursue personal and professional interests in an inspiring setting.
Set along a quiet country road yet conveniently accessible to Route 78, the location is within a region experiencing corporate investment and job growth.
