About this home
The beautiful homestead formerly known as "Lilac Farm" has 9+ acres of land perfect for horses or other grazing animals, large-scale vegetable or flower gardens, or simply as your own glorious sanctuary. It's a place of possibilities: bring your horses to train or to graze--there's a new sturdy barn that just needs electricity and water to be a perfect shelter. Take the shady trail down to a beautiful open field where you can set up a cross-country course or just hack around for pleasure. Or take advantage of the greenhouse to start and nurture a large-scale organic garden or landscaping business. Interested in solar? There's a south-facing shed ideal for mounting solar panels to produce hot water or to power the greenhouse. It's easy to imagine living inexpensively and sustainably on this sprawling land that has everything you need to feed body and soul. The charming early 19th century farmhouse awaits personal touches. It abuts the popular 85-acre FarandNear reservation.
