About this home
Welcome to the unique historic home at Highland Farm. This well-known mid-1800, Dover landmark was commissioned and originally built for the Sheriff’s private residence. Over the years, it changed hands and served as an equestrian training facility, then it was turned into a Bed & Breakfast. You could then hear laughter and see children as it was renovated into a Country Day School and now the 4-chimney Georgian-style brick Colonial now serves as a family home. This beautiful 3-story brick home has 11 rooms, 6 bedrooms, 4 ½ baths, and 3-story split beautiful foyer with over 4000 square feet of living space. The first floor consists of a large eat-in kitchen with plenty of storage and a formal dining & living room that allows for gathering of friends and family during the year and holidays. A family can enjoy the number of bedrooms for a larger family or friends. The home offers 3 porches, a 15 x 15 heated sun-room, all on 2+ rolling acres that offers lots of privacy and enjoyment watching the birds, wildlife and a walk down by the river frontage. The large antique barn on the property can offer many varied uses as it has 6 horse stalls and a 2nd story storage area. This home has always been filled with love and you can make it your home or your next adventure. Welcome to Dover and Highland Farm.
