Step back in time and embrace the peaceful rhythms of country living with this extraordinary 1900s farmhouse, gracefully situated on a sprawling 250-acre estate. Rich in history and character, the 2,700-square-foot home masterfully blends old-world charm with modern-day comforts—offering a rare opportunity to own a preserved piece of paradise. Thoughtfully restored in the 1990s, the home retains its historic soul while featuring important updates—most notably to the kitchen and second floor—ensuring comfort and functionality. With four spacious bedrooms and 2.5 baths, the home welcomes you with wide-plank hardwood floors, two cozy wood-burning fireplaces–– one in the living room and another in the kitchen––and a layout designed to celebrate the natural surroundings. A wall of built-in bookshelves adds warmth and personality, while oversized windows fill every room with light and frame sweeping views of the countryside. Just off the kitchen, a sheltered back porch invites you to gather over meals, watch wildlife, or simply take in the peace of the setting—creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty. And just uphill from the main house, a field of bountiful blueberry bushes offers one of the property’s sweetest seasonal joys: picking your own fruit in the open air, surrounded by nature. Whether you're gathered around the fire with loved ones or enjoying quiet solitude, the heart of the home is both elegant and functional—perfect for full-time living or unforgettable weekend escapes. The land itself is a sanctuary. Wander through open meadows, ancient woodlands, and along a gentle stream and tranquil pond—ideal for fishing, picnicking, or simply unwinding. Historic stone walls weave through the landscape, echoing stories of generations who once lived in harmony with this land. An authentic old barn provides opportunities for agricultural use, artist studios, or event space. Protected by a conservation easement, this breathtaking property ensures its natural beauty and open vistas remain unspoiled for generations. A haven for artists, naturalists, writers, or anyone seeking privacy, inspiration, and a deep-rooted connection to the outdoors. Whether you're watching the morning mist lift over the hills or stargazing in the stillness of night, this is more than a home—it’s a legacy, a retreat, and a lifestyle like no other.
