Silver Lining Farm is a truly extraordinary property that looks as though it belongs in the pages of a storybook. Blending timeless character with modern luxury, this breathtaking country estate features the original farmhouse dating back to 1880, seamlessly expanded with a stunning three-level addition completed in 2014, creating over 4,300 square feet of finished living space. Set on approximately 30 picturesque acres, the views from every angle are incredible -- this one-of-a-kind property offers endless appeal — from the equestrian enthusiast to anyone seeking unmatched beauty, privacy, and charm. The grounds are simply spectacular, highlighted by a large stocked man-made pond, expansive fenced pastures, a horse stable, two run-in sheds, and an impressive two-level bank barn (both stable and barn have water and electric). Every inch of the property has been thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding landscape and create an unforgettable setting. Inside, the home is rich with warmth, history, and architectural detail. Enter through the spacious sunroom overlooking the barn before stepping into the original farmhouse where exposed wood beams, hardwood floors, cozy fireplaces, hidden nooks, and secret passageways create an atmosphere unlike any other. Beyond the sunroom you are greeted by the sitting room with original fireplace and the living room adjacent also has the original fireplace. A utility room completes the 1880 first floor. The original winding staircase leads to the farmhouse upper level featuring refinished original hardwood floors, three bedrooms, updated full bath, balcony access (12x23.5), and a massive floored attic full of potential. As you continue through the home, the 2014 addition unfolds beautifully. The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring an enormous island, upgraded cabinetry with uplighting, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, designer cooktop/hood, and the preserved original pantry. Nearby, a full bath with ceramic tile and shower adds convenience for guests. The dining room showcases reclaimed barnwood accent wall and a dramatic two-sided gas fireplace shared with the adjoining living room. Hardwood floors flow throughout, while dual French doors lead to a large screened porch (10x30.5) overlooking the pond — the perfect place to entertain or simply take in the peaceful scenery. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is truly exceptional. Designed as a private retreat, it offers abundant closet space with custom storage, dressing areas, beautiful hardwood flooring, abundant natural light, separate commode rooms, dual vanities on opposite sides of the spa-inspired soaking bath, and an oversized walk-in shower. A well-appointed upper-level laundry room with cabinetry and sink completes the space, along with pull-down attic access (separate from other attic). The lower level offers a full walk-up basement with multiple rooms ready for future finishing, ideal for additional living space, recreation, or storage. The 1880 house also has a basement, the two do not connect. Both can be accessed inside or out. Equestrian amenities are equally impressive. The enormous bank barn features a soaring upper level (29.5x50 with 7' overhang) with endless possibilities, while the lower level includes five beautifully finished wood stalls, an office with sink, horse wash station, and more. The stable offers an additional eight stalls with water/electric, and two separate run-in sheds provide excellent accommodations for horses. Wooden fencing surrounds the property, completing this remarkable setting and a former horse ring could be recreated. This is far more than a home — it is an experience, a retreat, and a property that must be seen in person to fully appreciate the craftsmanship, beauty, and extraordinary lifestyle it offers. All this and still close to shopping, restaurants and entertainment!
