About This Home

As of March 2025

Quintessential New England Farmhouse: 80 Higbie Road in Morris CT is a rare find: 3.97 rural acres surrounded on all sides by pastoral scenery, stone walls, and views of South Farms. This restored 1938 farmhouse with a wrap-around front porch is for those who appreciate tranquility, charm, and craftsmanship. The three bedroom, three bath home located in the heart of Litchfield County is just miles away from White Flower Farm, White Memorial Conservation Center with hiking trails galore, Litchfield Town Center, and Bantam Lake. The home boasts wide plank pine floors with radiant heat, chestnut beams, plaster walls, and built-in cabinetry throughout. The sun-filled master faces east with views of grazing cows at sunrise, a cathedral ceiling, en-suite bathroom, and a walk-in closet. The flexible floor plan creates another bedroom opportunity downstairs, if needed. The sun-filled kitchen and dining room are perfect for morning coffee and gathering with friends and family. A wood burning furnace serves as a primary or secondary heat source. The back of the property has been left untouched and can be re-imagined by the needs of new owners. Currently, there are acres of mature pine trees, a shop for interested parties, as well as a spring fed pond. This home has been cared for by three generations of craftsmen, and it shows in its details, comfort, and country character.
