About This Home

Wild Trails Farm presents a rare opportunity to own 224 acres of private, contiguous land defined by rolling fields, mature woods, and expansive southern views. The setting feels secluded and serene, yet it’s fully equipped for comfortable, year-round living.At the heart of the property, the 5,600+ sq ft lodge is thoughtfully designed for both everyday life and entertaining. A spacious kitchen with dual dining areas anchors the home, complemented by multiple living spaces that offer flexibility for gathering or quiet retreat. Six bedrooms and 4.5 baths provide ample room for family and guests. Energy-efficient solar and geothermal systems support modern living, while the sauna adds a simple, restorative touch. The two-car garage, currently used as a yoga studio, can easily be returned to its original use. A screened porch and stone patio create seamless connections to the surrounding landscape in every season.The land itself is a standout feature—224 acres of privacy, beauty, and usability. A network of private trails begins just outside the door, ideal for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing. Established gardens, fruit-bearing plantings, and peaceful ponds add to the property’s sense of place and seasonal enjoyment.Complementing the main residence, several additional structures enhance the property’s versatility: a beautifully restored circa-1800s barn with a two-bedroom apartment, a charming one-bedroom post-and-beam residence, a stable, equipment barn, and a greenhouse. Each building is well integrated, offering function and flexibility without excess.Whether envisioned as a private retreat, a multigenerational compound, or a property with income potential, this offering delivers a compelling combination of infrastructure, acreage, and setting—ready to be enjoyed and adapted to a variety of uses. Additional acreage available.
