Description

Rarely today does a mid-1700s country estate offer this combination of antiquity, space, and setting. Circa 1757, this one-time stop for stage coach travelers echoes history. The stone 11 room home is enveloped in a sense of serenity. Original architectural integrity remains in the wood floors of the living room, built-in bookshelves and cabinets in the library, beadboard wainscoting and chair rail in the family room. An office with an outside door and large kitchen and screened mud room round out...Rarely today does a mid-1700s country estate offer this combination of antiquity, space, and setting. Circa 1757, this one-time stop for stage coach travelers echoes history. The stone 11 room home is enveloped in a sense of serenity. Original architectural integrity remains in the wood floors of the living room, built-in bookshelves and cabinets in the library, beadboard wainscoting and chair rail in the family room. An office with an outside door and large kitchen and screened mud room round out the first floor. Five bedrooms await you upstairs. Set on 14 acres of pristine countryside bounded by woods and farmland, this is a prime horse property. The bewitching cluster of outbuildings includes the circa 1861 stone bank barn with 8 horse stalls plus tack area. There is a 60 x130 indoor riding arena and fenced pastureland. The original stone summer kitchen with original beehive oven beckons memories of a way of life two and a half centuries ago. Deed restricted against further subdivision for 7 years.
