Newly priced. This outstanding 50-acre equestrian estate is surrounded by 3000 acres of protected conversation area and has served as an important local and national landmark throughout the years. A semicircular treelined driveway with beautifully crafted stone bridges over a creek serves as the gracious main entrance.
