This beautiful 59 acre "horse farm" is absolutely secluded and private with an elegant entrance leading you along a tree lined driveway to a completely renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath farmhouse and a classic North Country barn with multiple walkout stalls, ample hay lofts and areas for other uses and expansion. The home has been rebuilt from the walls to the rafters, improved in every respect and transformed into a natural blend of country elegance and functionality. It enjoys a large country kitchen, dining room, a living/family room, a wonderful primary bedroom suite, an office and a spacious laundry on the main floor. There is enough space to fit 3 or 4 bedrooms into the two floors combined. A vaulted ceiling expands the open nature of the house with lots of natural light and beautiful views, bringing the outside, inside. A wood stove and hearth can be reactivated to generously heat the living area, joining with passive solar fed by a direct southern exposure to give comfort and warmth to any day. There are perhaps 30 acres of open, level field, plus inviting woodland areas, abundant wildlife, and absolute privacy, peace and quiet. The Connecticut River is a short walk or carriage ride away with its wide expanse of beautiful, slow moving water for boating, fishing and relaxation. A historic covered bridge is only a few hundred feet from the driveway, built strongly to carry you across the River to Vermont where excellent access to the north, south, east and west winds through both States. The fields have been actively farmed by a local dairy, fertilized and groomed for pasture, hay, other crops or simple adoration. There is abundant wildlife, absolute peace, lovely gardens and a lawn which blends into the expansive fields and pasture. You will never want to leave this property once it is yours. $749,000 is the magic formula that will connect you to this land-based legacy.
