About This Home

As of July 2022

Originally built circa 1850 as a working barn on a Massachusetts farm, this exceptional structure was disassembled and reconstructed on this coveted farm site where it was restored and painstakingly converted by housewright Skip Broom into this magnificent country home. What appears to be part of a serene grouping of farm buildings is actually a dramatic home designed and crafted with every state of the art amenity. Approximately 4,500 square feet of beautiful sunlit space. The 28 x 60 Great Room, with its wall of glass opening to a large deck and spectacular views of Hamburg Cove, soaring ceilings, twin fireplaces and careful use of original flooring and beams, is without equal. Gourmet kitchen with Wolf cooking range, four large bedroom suites with full baths. Loft for office and additional space for family and house guests. This 35 x 64 two-story barn has been extensively renovated and restructured. Workshop on lower level and possible conversion into studios and office space. Greenhouse, Driveway Alarm, Mature Trees, Novak Brothers Landscaping. Vegetable Garden and Garden Shed, Pier/Dock: Stone pier is perfect for small boats, fishing and sailing. Two hours to New York and Boston. Farmer's Markets, Yoga Studios, Golf, Marinas, Museums and Restaurants. Surrounded by the Lyme hills, country estates, gentleman farms and conservation easements to ensure privacy and no further development. Included in the sale is an additional non buildable/protected 3.28 acres.
