This 1900 historic Arts & Craft style home on its 60+ acres of fields and woods sits privately at the end of a long maple and poplar-lined driveway, the area around the house graced by mature perennial gardens and landscaping. Though renovated and rewired over the last 15 years (FYI, fiber optic available), the home's interior retains much of its period charm with board & batten walls and beadboard walls and ceilings. The house is comfortably heated with a combination of OFHA, a wood-burning fireplace in the dining room, a wood-burning cookstove in the kitchen, and a gas fireplace in the living room. Separate barn with 5 stalls and a tack room, as well as a detached heated and insulated workshop or farm garage. The fields have been reclaimed from the woodlands, de-stumped and cleared for fruit trees and grazing. Long views out across the property to the west for lovely sunsets and mountain views.
