Listing broker remarks

A rare opportunity to own over 50 acres of Scenic New England countryside on a quiet dead-end road. Rolling fields, wooded hillsides, a babbling brook, and a picturesque pond create an exceptional setting for horses, farming, or simply enjoying the privacy and beauty of country living. Dating to 1772, this four-bedroom, three-bath Colonial offers warmth, charm, and plenty of space to make it your own. Skylights brighten the dining area and inviting three-season room, while the living room and family room each feature a fireplace for cozy gatherings. Designed with country living in mind, the 24’ x 52’ barn was originally built with five horse stalls and now offers flexible space for horses, livestock, equipment, or hobbies. The property also features a turnout, tack room, storage room, overhead tractor bay, four barnyard hydrants, extensive fencing, and abundant open land ready for your vision. A detached three-car garage with loft provides additional storage. A two-story post-and-beam Carriage House awaits your vision and offers exceptional potential as a workshop, artist’s studio, collector’s garage, hobby space, or virtually anything that complements your country lifestyle. With approximately 482 feet of road frontage, rear access from Echo Road, and possible subdivision potential (subject to local approvals), this remarkable property offers endless opportunities. Whether you envision an equestrian estate, gentleman’s farm, family retreat, or a private country escape, this is a property where lasting memories are waiting to be made.— Lake Realty
