This one of a kind property situated on 6 stunning acres of protected farmland features a chemical-free farmette and a historic farmhouse with two (2) attached heated glass greenhouses, and a large barn.
Originally built during the American Revolutionary period, and added onto and modernized in the centuries since, this 4-6 bedroom, 1 ½ bathroom house retains its remarkable charms, including beams from the 1700s, a great room with stunning side-sliding windows on all four sides, restored original cork tile floors, and the traditional flow for family life centered around the kitchen, including enormous dining and living rooms, each of which contains its own fireplace recently fitted with inserts to make them sources of heat as well as beauty.
A small powder room, and office/study/porch/etc. complete the first floor. Continuing upstairs, you will find 4 nicely sized bedrooms and a full bathroom (with a view) on the second floor. As you venture upwards to the partially finished third floor, you will find lots of additional living space, easily accommodating additional bedrooms if so desired, or a fabulous studio/sitting/reading area/ etc. Storage abounds! In addition to a large attic space, there are 2 separate full unfinished basements housing all of the utilities and offering tons of additional space.
For the past four seasons two fields totaling about an acre have been successfully farmed (320 kinds of tomatoes, and a small range of other market vegetables) without the use of chemicals of any kind (not even organic chemicals). All soil amendation has been accomplished with mushroom compost only. Close to another acre could be put into cultivation.
There is a new, gravel driveway leading to a parking area in front of a farmstand attached to the barn.
One bay of the barn has been converted to a shop, and the center section has been outfitted with a stage for cultural performances, or yoga with a world-class view of the spring-fed pond filled with bass and sunfish. The dock and boat both stay.
Enjoy incredible privacy and awe-inspiring views from this historically outstanding and totally unique homestead. Additionally, this property is completely surrounded by Preserved land ensuring nothing will infringe upon peace and serenity moving forward.
The farmstand area has extensive gorgeous stonework, and the same stone artist recently completed work on the path from the barn and farmstand to the kitchen side of the house, and the greenhouses. Original enormous outdoor fireplace has had preliminary excavation done for a planned stone sitting area.
