The 84 acre Fall Mountain Farm is set privately off the road at the end of a long gravel drive amid 17 acres of lush hayfield. The reproduction 30 X 44 colonial home is under construction awaiting your personal touch and completion. Planned to take full advantage of the benefits of southern exposure, the home is filled with natural light and the dooryard is warmly sunlit. Quality of construction is evident throughout the over 3200 square feet of estimated living space. A four bedroom septic and drilled well and over R-30 of cellulose and foam insulation have been installed. The open floor plan interior is studded in with the kitchen and living room as the hub of the home. An ell connects the house to the barn and was planned to be the kitchen and pantry. There are two Douglas fir porches, one at the back of the home facing the rear field, and a front porch just off the kitchen.

The barn is 32 X 48 beautifully constructed post and beam structure was built to replicate an antique. A large plank stairway leads to the hayloft and many windows add lots of natural light. Of course, some modern conveniences were thought of with the plumbing for radiant heat has been installed in the floor of the barn. A real plus if you wanted to finish the barn more for living space or possibly antique car storage. Even for raising livestock, the babies would enjoy some heat on cold winter nights! This system was designed to be controlled separately from the house.
The exterior of the house and barn have been mostly completed. The main roof on the house and roof on the barn are 50-year architectural shingles with a lifetime warranty. The ell of the home has standing seam metal roofing. The house is sided with cedar clapboards and the decorative trim moldings around the windows and doors of the house are low maintenance PVC and aluminum. Plus, the poured cement full basement has granite slab sills so only the granite is seen from the outside of the house. You will enjoy finishing this home to your own specifications!
