Established in 1767, this remarkable property tells a centuries-old story of care, continuity, and quiet beauty. Generations have called this tranquil, pastoral 22-acre property home, and their warmth and devotion are still deeply felt throughout the landscape. The charming and comfortable antique residence-thoughtfully updated with newer mechanical systems-overlooks rolling pastures framed by striking stone walls and large historic barns. The setting is both serene and inspiring, offering an exceptional foundation for an equestrian estate or a sensitive, historically minded restoration. This is a rare opportunity for a new steward with vision and reverence to honor the property's rich past while shaping its future. For those drawn to history, land, and legacy, this is a chance to become part of a story still unfolding-preserving its beauty while guiding it forward for generations to come. Located in Putnam, a vibrant commercial, governmental, and cultural center, the town is celebrated as the Antique Capital of the Northeast and a distinctive dining destination with restaurants to suit every taste. Please note: The property will be sold as a single parcel with a permanent restriction prohibiting further division or subdivision. Aerial contour map available in attachments.
