The Farm on Major Brown Road
This 272.5 acre farm is a spectacular mix of open land, mature hardwoods, dazzling views and long river frontage on the Hughes River, the area’s premier trout stream. From a broad plain along the river to the top of Bald Mountain, at an elevation of over 1,000 feet, the land has a beautifully varied topography. It rolls through a variety of small valleys, open hillocks and rugged oak and poplar forest. Because of the variety of topography, the land seems even larger than its 272.5 acres.
Approximately 170 acres are open, with crossed-fenced pasture, and plenty of water. Currently the pastures support a herd of over 60 beef cattle as well as supplying ample hay for winter feeding.
In the middle of the property, at the end of a long tree-lined drive, there is a 6,000 square foot retreat center. This expansive one-story brick building is roughly shaped like an H. One leg of the H include...
