Listing broker remarks

If you’ve been dreaming about a little more space, a little more privacy, and maybe a barn of your own, this Deerfield farmhouse might be exactly what you’ve been waiting for. Set on 6 acres, the property offers the kind of country setting that’s getting harder to find—room for animals, gardens, hobbies, or simply space to enjoy.Inside, this 1800s post & beam farmhouse has over 1,900 sq ft with 3 bedrooms, a dedicated office, exposed beams, wood accents, and plenty of the character you hope to find in an older New England home. There’s also a spacious attic for storage with potential for future expansion.And then there’s the barn. Four stalls are already in place, with additional barn space that could accommodate more. Two fenced pastures and a riding area make it especially appealing for horses, while additional acreage offers possibilities for expanding pasture or creating the homestead you’ve always pictured.Surrounded by trees and tucked into a private setting, this isn’t a cookie-cutter property—and that’s exactly the point. It’s a place with history, acreage, and plenty of opportunity for its next owner to make it their own!— Ruggeri Real Estate
