About This Home

HIGHEST-BEST BY SUNDAY 6/27/26 NOON Step back in time at the historic 1790 Bailey House, a beautifully preserved C.1790 center-chimney cape set on 6 acres of pastoral CT countryside at Bailey's Ravine. 24 Ayer Road borders Ayer Mt Farm, a 350 year old, 300 acre family farm. Ayer's Gap Nature Preserve with equestrian trails, hiking, streams, and waterfalls is right across the road. This magical property offers stone walls, open meadows, a peaceful pond, arched stone bridge, and charming outbuildings-an ideal blend of history, privacy, and natural beauty. Inside, the home retains the warmth and craftsmanship of its era: 5 fireplaces, authentic wainscoting, wide-board flooring, original hardware, wavy glass windows, a traditional beehive oven, and the timeless character only a true 18th century home can offer. A fully renovated kitchen is the heart of the home with its Subzero Refrigerator, AGA cooker, Vermont Soapstone countertops and sink, custom honey pine cabinetry, and full pantry. A kitchen garden is just outside the doorway. Amazing views of the fields and pond create a serene connection between the home and its surroundings year-round. The acreage provides endless possibilities-gardens, animals, hobby farming, or simply the luxury of quiet country living. Enjoy Invisible Fence for your dogs, a chicken coop, 2 box stalls in the barn, and pasture area for your horses. The outbuildings add versatility for a studio, workshop, home office or retreat

  • Neighborhood: North Franklin
  • Property Type: Single Family For Sale
  • Style: Cape Cod, Antique
  • Sq Ft Est Heated Above Grade: 1725
  • Total Sq Ft: 1725
  • Year Built: 1790
  • New Construction: No/Resale
  • Remarks Public Addendum: Relax on the swing under the timber frame pavilion in the garden or escape to the little "duck house" by the pond just for fun. The barn and duck house have standing seam metal roofs. The house, carriage shed, heated "bath house," and pavilion have slate roofs. The bath house served as the only bathroom for the house until the mid 1990's when the tub and sink were brought inside in the creation of an indoor bathroom. At that time, the original kitchen still had only a hand pump at the sink with water that came off the mountain across the road - there is still access to it in the deed. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Franklin's history. The 1790 Bailey House is more than a home-it's a legacy property ready to be cherished for generations.
