This residence elegantly bridges the past and contemporary living, weaving together heritage and modern comforts into a harmonious ensemble.

Originally erected in 1927, this property sprawls across six acres of verdant splendor, offering a heartfelt tribute to the artistry of craftsmanship and the timeless allure of the natural world. The house, once a cherished residence, weaves a captivating historical narrative intricately connected to the annals of American history, beckoning you to step into its tale of enduring legacy and captivating beauty.

A regal row of Sugar Maple trees lines the approach along Eagle Farm Road, acting as stalwart sentinels guiding your path to this estate. Although not all of these venerable arboreal guardians still stand, they once formed a living arch over the private road, providing a captivating passage through time. The entrance to the property is marked by enduring stone pillars, painstakingly hewn from the same earth as the stately Georgian-style mansion they graciously flank. These pillars, meticulously crafted from indigenous fieldstone, resonate with the echoes of an era when the land itself generously provided the building materials for timeless grandeur.

As you set foot onto this captivating property, an expansive expanse of immaculately maintained lawns unfurls before you, a rare sight amidst the undulating wooded contours of the region. Towering Red Oaks, Austrian Pines, and a diverse assortment of trees pay tribute to the magnificent natural world that envelops this verdant oasis. Along the periphery, a vibrant tapestry of flora thrives – Dogwoods, Rhododendrons, and Hydrangeas grace the estate fence and foundation with their delicate blooms, adding a touch of elegance.

Continuing your exploration, you'll discover a serene stone terrace adorned with a tranquil bubbling fountain, nestled amidst ancient Lilac bushes. This enchanting space forms a serene centerpiece for the formal gardens. As you traverse the terrace, your gaze will be drawn to the lower gardens – a harmonious blend of Knock Out Roses, Parsons Junipers, and an unexpected delight, a Little League baseball diamond, nestled amidst the lush sanctuary. Descending stone steps, you'll find a fresh perspective, allowing you to capture the essence of the landscape from a captivating new vantage point.

Further captivating features await, including an outdoor kitchen and bar, featuring sleek black granite countertops that beckon you to admire and engage. Nearby, a breathtaking vista unfolds – Red Sunset Maple trees, Flowering Dogwoods, and a rich tapestry of blossoms, orchestrating a symphony of colors that evolves with the changing seasons.

The journey of exploration culminates in the equine enclave, a heartfelt homage to the multifaceted character of this estate. Here, a meticulously designed sand riding ring, a lush grassy pasture, and a welcoming run-in shelter create a haven for three cherished equine companions - Cachao, Roxie Haart, and the venerable Scamp. These noble creatures graciously extend an invitation to share their world with you, encouraging you to explore their immaculate stable environment, to delve into the well-appointed tack room and feed room, and to share serene moments with these majestic beings.

For relaxation, a patio with a soothing hot tub invites you to unwind amidst the beauty of nature.

717 Eagle Farm Road stands as a living testament to history and the enduring serenity of nature, inviting you to a realm where every corner holds a unique story, and every vista captures the essence of tranquility. It is not merely a residence; it is a cherished chapter in the timeless narrative of this land, a place that has left an indelible mark on the rich tapestry of our nation's history
