Ayer's Gap Nature Preserve with equestrian trails, hiking, streams, and waterfalls is right across the road. Bailey Farm enjoys an unspoiled setting. This magical property offers stone walls, open meadows, a peaceful pond, arched stone bridge, and charming outbuildings-an ideal blend of history, privacy, and natural beauty. Inside, the home retains the warmth and craftsmanship of its era: 5 fireplaces, authentic wainscoting, wide-board flooring, original hardware, wavy glass windows, a traditional beehive oven, and the timeless character only a true 18th century home can offer. A fully renovated kitchen is the heart of the home with its Subzero Refrigerator, AGA cooker, Vermont Soapstone countertops and sink, custom honey pine cabinetry, and full pantry. A kitchen garden is just outside the doorway. Amazing views of the fields and pond create a serene connection between the home and its surroundings year-round. The acreage provides endless possibilities-gardens, animals, hobby farming, or simply the luxury of quiet country living. Enjoy Invisible Fence for your dogs, a chicken coop, 2 box stalls in the barn, and pasture area for your horses. The outbuildings add versatility for a studio, workshop, home office or retreat.
