Listing broker remarks

Tripp Farm is a remarkable 58-acre private retreat created to preserve the land, water resources, and wildlife habitat from future development. Surrounded by open fields, woodlands, and conservation land, the property offers exceptional privacy and a rare connection to nature. Built in 1999, the three-bedroom, two-bath residence captures the timeless character of a New England farmhouse while benefiting from modern construction. Features include a wood-burning fireplace, a three-sided glass greenhouse, an interior-access woodshed, wraparound porch, and pergola. A substantial barn provides ample space for vehicles, equipment, workshop or studio use, and includes a fully equipped one-bedroom, one-bath apartment with rental history. Protected by a conservation restriction held by the Westport Land Conservation Trust, the property retains rights for farming, forestry, hunting, recreation, trail use, and conservation stewardship. Rarely does a property of this scale become available.— LandVest, Inc.
