About This Home

As of June 2024

Once a grand lady, now a diamond in the rough. This 1860s stone farmhouse with its original bones intact but in dire need of restoration holds a charm and character that cannot be replicated. Offered "as is" and for the first time in 60+ years, the house and outbuildings are situated in the middle of 15 Solebury acres and protected from further subdivision with a Conservation Easement. There is much beauty and tranquility to the property, where deer, fox, rabbits and wild turkeys pass through. The level fields still hold remnants of their former use for farming and vegetable gardening with patches of resilient vegetation and the occasional burst of color from hardy flowers.
Ancillary buildings include a 3-story stone bank barn, two-story carriage house, stone root cellar and smoke house. There simply are few properties like this remaining in Solebury. If you have been seeking a restoration opportunity with a privately situated property with excellent surrounding real estate values, this is one to see.
