Description

The genesis of Carousel Farm goes back to its 18th Century roots and to the 20th Century when circus animals were housed on its grounds. Today it is the perfect gentleman's estate offering all of the activities one would cherish in a property such as this, or, do nothing at all and relax around the pool, go riding on the 32 plus acres or just play your own version of Gatsby. The entire property has been completely renovated and restored by the current owners. The 5,000 square foot stone manor home,...The genesis of Carousel Farm goes back to its 18th Century roots and to the 20th Century when circus animals were housed on its grounds. Today it is the perfect gentleman's estate offering all of the activities one would cherish in a property such as this, or, do nothing at all and relax around the pool, go riding on the 32 plus acres or just play your own version of Gatsby. The entire property has been completely renovated and restored by the current owners. The 5,000 square foot stone manor home, with 5 fireplaces, is both realistic in flow and sophisticated in design. The kitchen is gourmet quality and offers a glass walled breakfast room that looks over the acreage. The dining room and living room encourage entertaining due to the open feel of the rooms. The 3rd level of the home is completely dedicated to the master suite. The baths are exquisite...as are the guest rooms and baths. There are two multi-level guest homes...each beautiful and meticulous on its own. The stone bank barn is cavernous and contains a huge entertainment space for family gatherings or for fundraisers. The barn also contains an area, currently used as a professional photography area...but, can be used for a gym or sports entertainment complex. Below are 16 horse stalls and sophisticated tack room. The corn crib contains a courtesy powder room for use by those working in the gardens. One of the owners is a master gardener and the grounds reflect this high level of sophistication, beauty and love. Carousel Farm is a property for someone who has been searching for the "impossible" and now realizes that impossibility is only a myth.
