About This Home

As of March 2025

Charm abounds in this unique investment or owner occupant opportunity in the sought-after town of Bethany. Beautifully situated on 1.9 level acres, offering the ultimate bucolic setting; with views of horse and turkey barns, grazing horses, and the rich aroma of the woods, this 1850 farm house offers 4 rental units, plus additional spaces. There is a 3 bay barn with workshop area and generous hayloft. Attached to this is a 1485 sf space which previously housed the iconic Creative Childcare daycare center, but could be additional living/rental unit space. There is also a 5000 + sf barn/garage with limitless uses; stalls for horses, perfect for the car enthusiast, boats or large landscape/ trucking/equipment, etc., storage, with a separate secured area with commercial tall overhead doors and a cement floor. The location offers a tranquil and peaceful setting that is indescribable. It is across from the famed Whitlock Book Barn (full of antique books, maps, prints offering hours of browsing enjoyment), and abuts the RWA Lake Chamberlain property. Enjoy permitted horseback riding, hiking, fishing, bird watching and wildlife sightings! Convenient to several shopping areas! Apartments charming and in good condition. In the main farmhouse all have mostly wood floors. Apartments can be combined with relative ease to restore the residence to a one family or to combine units.
