Light, soul, beauty: Shepley Hill Farm is legendary for a reason. The distinguished and thoughtfully-updated Federal-style farmhouse adjoins the big yellow barn with its Gothic arched window, gardens, meadows, riding ring, and miles of trails to explore out the back door. Live somewhere special, listen to the birds, and get out of the daily hustle. Shepley Hill's legacy of stewardship shines in the conservation of the surrounding land and the beautiful maintenance of the house, timber-framed barn, and garden. The six bedroom/5.5 bath house includes a separate private suite, as well as multiple home office spaces. The house is centered on a big open kitchen/great room that fills with friends, dogs, and joy, with all the expected amenities.There is abundant, flexible accommodation for animals, toys, and cars in the three-story barn with a workshop, outbuildings, stabling, and a four-car tandem garage attached to the house.
