About This Home

Set on 126 acres of woods, rolling fields, an open sky, this timeless New England farmhouse invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace a lifestyle that feels both rooted in history and thoughtfully updated for today. As you arrive, the landscape unfolds with sweeping views in every direction—a peaceful freshwater pond reflecting the seasons, abundant wildlife, and the quiet rhythm of nature surrounding you. The classic 34' x 60' two-story barn stands proudly, offering endless possibilities for animals, hobbies, or storage. For woodworking enthusiasts, a dedicated shop occupies one end of the barn, complete with a dust filtration system. Inside, the home tells a story of warmth and character. A desirable first-floor primary bedroom and first floor bath offers convenience and flexibility, making everyday living effortless while providing a private retreat. With a total of four bedrooms and thoughtfully preserved details, the home captures the essence of a bygone era while seamlessly incorporating modern updates including central air, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and more.

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the excellent hunting opportunities, making this property a true haven for recreation and connection with nature. This is a place where mornings begin with coffee overlooking rolling pastures, afternoons are spent exploring your land, and evenings end with unforgettable sunsets stretching across the horizon. Here, you don’t just find a home—you rediscover a way of life that feels a world away, yet offers everything needed to live beautifully, comfortably, and peacefully. Location Highlights:
