About this home

Rare opportunity to own a historic home in an idyllic setting! This is the first time that the "John Brown Broom Corn Farmhouse" will be available for sale to the public since since 1861. This original sixteen room farmhouse sits on a hill overlooking a scenic curve of River Rd just outside of the Village of Cherry Valley. The reason it has so many rooms is that it housed the workers for the Broom Corn Farm. The original farm was almost one thousand acres and this 2.66 acre farmette is the last piece of it. This home has been maintained for years but has not been updated recently. Start a new chapter in the story of this property whether you choose to create a historically accurate bed and breakfast or use a "Farmhouse Chic" design when you renovate your new home. With 3,750 approximate SF and up to 8 bedrooms with 2 full baths and upstairs kitchenette there is more than enough room to make your own farmhouse vision become reality. Schedule a viewing today and see what potential this property holds for you!
