Wheet Farm
Wheet Farm is indeed a rare find, a 100 acre parcel with 30+ open, rolling acres, and the rest in woodland. It enjoys a quiet location, well away from traffic, across the lane from 42 acre Lougee Pond. Wheet farm offers significant frontage on both Coles Ledge Road and Parkey Road, both town maintained. The property speaks to a time when raising ones own produce, chickens and livestock was the norm.
The quaint, 1725 cape, has a newer roof, some newer windows and a new foundation which created a full basement with concrete flooring. Although the house needs a good amount of updating and repair it has the charm only an antique home can bring. With seven rooms and one bath now, the floor plan is very adaptable. There is a fireplace, soft and hardwood floors and an enclosed porch.

The centerpiece of the property is the 1700s, 40x60, post and beam bank barn, with a cement silo that was added later in its history. The barn also has a newer (2008) metal roof, the saving grace for an antique barn. There are currently two horse stalls, a few old wooden stanchions and with repair, the barn would be great livestock housing on the main level and equipment storage below.
The land is open behind and to the sides of the homestead and gradually and then more dramatically, slopes up, into the tree line. Old wire fencing tells us that this was probably both pasture and a source of winter forage or haylage. The woods will supply you with never-ending firewood and the possibility exists to sell the upper woodland parcel for working capital without disturbing the farm setting at all.
Wildlife is plentiful here. Lovely Lougee Pond, a great fishing hole, is just across the road. Bring your kayak or canoe, this is a quiet place, petroleum powered motor boats and engines over 5HP are not welcome here.
The farm has a setting reminiscent of earlier times and you can read its history in the faade of the buildings. Wheet Farm is waiting for new owners to write their family history here.
