Description

Stunning antique stone estate property, circa 1699, with total privacy sited on over 49 acres, down a long meandering drive, overlooking ponds and through meadows and woods can be your dream come true. Ripe for restoration is this almost 4000 sq ft plus stone and brick structure awaiting your personal vision. Many rooms retain the old plaster walls along with their historic flavor. The lower level (above grade) has spacious guest space/sitting room/potential private office space with an efficiency kitchen and an updated full bathroom. The second floor primary bedroom has been restored to a comfortable space and is currently being used as an office. All else is a canvas to create a family compound to be loved and cherished for years to come. The 3rd floor library and family room boast stunning views across the grounds.
Antique barn is multi-level, and has original log beams and wood floors. Need a studio, a guest house? There is even a pre-existing well and septic at this structure. In addition there is a charming chicken coop that could be a sweet studio.
Explore of the many walking paths on your own nature preserve. The magnificent pond is filled with fish, and green and brown herons and turtles abound, along with the usual deer, bear, wild turkeys and more.
Heartbroken to be leaving this magical property the current owner has had to return to England and is ready to turn the stewardship of this property over to a new custodian.
