This "landmark" property is composed of the main house along with the additional buildings on 5.84 acres of lush lawns, 2 spring fed ponds for skating and swimming, along with stunning perennial gardens. To add to the privacy, an additional 9 acre area of open fields, meadows and forest, wrap around the estate and border acres of conservation land and trails.
