Privately set along a picturesque country road abutting Sagamore Hill and hundreds of acres of protected Essex County Greenbelt land, this exceptional property offers rare privacy and direct access to an extensive trail network for walking, trail riding, and hacking from the property. Dating to circa 1875, the beautifully renovated antique farmhouse offers nearly 3,000 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space where historic character and designer interiors blend seamlessly. The home features four bedrooms and 2.5 baths with warm, inviting rooms reflecting classic New England charm. Set on more than five acres, the property includes a converted three-stall, two-story barn with tack room and hayloft, five fenced paddocks, and a new barn roof and restored antique cupola installed within the last two years. This property is a truly special Cape Ann offering you won’t want to miss out on.
