3 River Meadow Dr Hope Valley, RI 02832

Stunning 3.2-acre WATERFRONT Gentleman’s Farm with 2 LOTS! (Already sub-divided) The owner has lived in this beautiful property since he built it by hand in 1982! Designed from a pre-Civil War barn from upstate CT that was meticulously disassembled by the owner, transported to this lot and rebuilt into their home over a four-year period. Built from extremely rare American Chestnut ‘Post-and-Beam’ construction, with a massive 4-flue brick chimney and soaring cathedral ceiling in the main living room. The main area features the living room with an office off of this, a downstairs bedroom, a full-bath, a sun room overlooking the natural stone patio and the Wood River, a dining area adjacent to the kitchen. The kitchen and dining area are highlighted by the beautifully restored Castle Crawford stove that has been retrofitted to run on propane. Off the kitchen, through the Dutch-door you come to the bonus area/studio and stairs to the basement and garage. Walking up the poplar stairs brings you the balcony at the 2nd-level that overlooking the main living area with a bedroom to your right and another office/bonus room, and the master bedroom to your left. The basement features several unique spaces; including an unfinished sauna area, a workshop area, media room area and a wine/root cellar. The newer post-and-beam barn sits on a separate lot and has 3 levels. This is a fantastic property and setting, for either a year-round home or a weekend retreat! Nature, views and waterfront!
