The 100 YEAR OLD FARMHOUSE is 2,096 sq.ft. and was RESTORED and UPDATED with an eye to retaining character and improving function. ORIGINAL WOODWORK has been retained throughout. The two original fireplaces have been renovated with Vermont Country Stove inserts offering warmth and charm to both the living room and the dining room. The home features a LARGE OPEN KITCHEN with butcher block counters. THREE BEDROOMS include a large master with en-suite downstairs and two large bedrooms upstairs. The second floor also features a living room, half bath, and spacious CEDAR WALK-IN CLOSET. Mechanicals, plumbing and electricals have been updated including public water and septic system.
In addition, this property includes 3 WELL-MAINTAINED OUTBUILDINGS. On the lane near the farmhouse is a newer 30 X 30 Morton garage/man cave with a COVERED PATIO which overlooks two small ponds. Complete with heating and air conditioning and a finished interior, this building offers an ideal WORKSHOP for all projects/crafts.
On a hill at the end of the lane are two BARNS. One is the original dirt floor equipment barn with new Morton roof and the second is a newer 36 x 55 ft. Morton barn with gravel floor, perfect for parking large equipment. The front of the building has two insulated, finished rooms. The upstairs is perfect for entertaining or housing guests; the downstairs is well suited for a shop or office. A huge concrete COVERED PATIO wraps around the front and one side of the building.
For approximately 25 YEARS the land has been meticulously cared for. Enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) has ENHANCED CONSERVATION efforts in both the fields and forests. Large areas have been designated as WILDLIFE SANCTUARIES and provide an undisturbed habitat for flora and fauna alike thus creating a rare opportunity for birders, naturalists, conservationists and hunters.
