A picturesque blend of open pasture and rolling woodlands, enjoy 30+ acres once used as a horse-farm. Open meadows surrounded by woods interlaced with cut trails create the ideal environment for equestrian pursuits or those that simply wish to enjoy their land on their own two feet. Outdoor features include a barn with running water, several outbuildings with electrical service, including a large work-shop, a covered back porch and several apple trees. The 1870's farmhouse is fully renovated, including new windows. This home is heated with a forced-air furnace, with the option to use the 2 wood stoves as alternative or supplemental heat sources. On the main floor, living spaces flow one to the other, around a central staircase which leads to the 2nd floor with 5 bedrooms and an office. A serene setting, offering plenty of space to meet the needs of many, but equally well-suited to one or a few.
