About This Home
A rare and storied offering, the Colonel Dwight Wellington Pierce Farmstead is a distinguished circa 1830 Greek Revival residence listed on the State Registry of Historic Places. Perched on a rise with views of mountains, conserved land, and state forest, it blends heritage, natural beauty, and modern comfort. Spanning over 4,300 square feet, the main house features original moldings, wide-plank floors, and five working fireplaces. There are six bedrooms-one on the main floor with a full bath, and five upstairs. The primary suite includes a fireplace, radiant-heated limestone bath, and a large walk-in closet. The kitchen boasts exposed beams, custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and premium appliances, opening to a sunroom and stone patio. Additional spaces include a formal dining room, living room, library, pantry, and mudroom with brick floors. Upstairs are four guest bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a charming laundry room. Historic character is enhanced by modern systems, including fiber-optic cable and an alarm system. Three historic outbuildings accompany the home: a 70x30 dairy barn, a heated 60x24 studio barn with a concrete basement, and a carriage barn with a two-car garage, three horse stalls, and a loft. The landscaped grounds feature award-winning gardens, mature fruit trees, stone walls, a pond, and full deer fencing. A stone patio offers serene views and a strong connection to nature.
