Your journey begins as you drive through the beautiful winding lane to arrive at the restored 19th Century farmhouse overlooking two repurposed barns, an orchard and a vegetable garden perfect for entertaining family and guests. This awe-inspiring private estate is the realized vision of luxury and comfort in a pastoral setting creating a magical paradise to be restored and rejuvenated with stone patios, communal niches, fire-pits, and meditation stones all focusing toward the beautiful views of the country landscape.

The restored farmhouse exudes a contemporary style with newly plastered walls, plank flooring and period moldings bringing the perfect blend of history and modern design. The main living area has an open concept living and dining room with a cozy fireplace, large windows with country landscape views and inviting door to the outdoor patio.
