About This Home

As of August 2025

Once part of the prestigious 300-acre Cogswell Estate and held by the same family from the 1630s to the 1930s, this former hunting lodge radiates the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Rich in character the home showcases original wide-plank antique floorboards, an oversized brick fireplace, stunning Post & Beam construction, and rustic wood barn doors that echo its storied past. Set amidst mature trees and framed by historic stone walls, the property offers exceptional privacy and an air of refined tranquility. Two decks overlook a wide open lawn—ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the expansive outdoor space. The home features a unique two-wing layout. One wing houses the main living areas, including a welcoming living room, dining room, library, kitchen, and breakfast nook. The second wing is dedicated to rest and relaxation offering sleeping quarters and a large family room. A rare opportunity to live in a one-of-a-kind historic residence. No dogs.
