About This Home

As of November 2016

"The Old Shailer Farmhouse" recently the site of a video shoot for an upcoming HGTV episode and featured in a New York Times article which describes the incredible level of detail and care that went into creating this oasis of joy! If you have been looking for a dream property, pinch yourself; you just found it! Enjoy privacy, quiet and 600+ frontage on Shailer Pond in a masterfully renovated c.1780 Cape set on 2.3 manicured acres just minutes from Chester and Essex villages. Wide-board chestnut floors, vaulted and beamed ceilings, 3 fireplaces, two outbuildings. The grounds are graced by fruit trees and an "allee" by the pond bordered by hand-laid stone walls. Adjacent to hundreds of acres of state forest with hiking and riding trails. Absolutely exquisite and irreplaceable!
