Current residents of this 10+ acre countryside retreat have enjoyed "Sugartree Farm" for 25 memorable years and are ready now to hand over the reins to the next lucky owner. After completing several renovations, one major by custom builder John Diament, they generously donated a conservation easement to the farm that is surrounded by hundreds of acres of other protected countryside. The owner proudly says, "Part of living in this community is preserving your land and keeping it open. " Thomas Lindsey built the fieldstone Colonial main house and charming gatehouse around 1805.

There is an in-ground Pool surrounded by a brick Patio. The highly functional 1929 Barn, viewed from the front in a central courtyard, was designed to complement the main house and appears to be a second home. The Caretaker 2 bedroom/1 bath living area in front above the 2-car garage, disguises the fully appointed eight-stall barn in the back, with antique cast iron stall fronts and door latches, plus tack room and office with character. The Caretaker residence also has a deck and a garage. The 4 pastures are separated with post and rail fencing, plus trees and bushes along the fence lines. There are open ended frame run-in sheds in two of the pastures. The "Gate House" is a small 2-story stone and frame building, with the 1st floor currently used for storage of firewood and the 2nd floor is finished with electrical service, it could be converted to an office or artist studio. All of the buildings have been excellently maintained and are very nicely grouped to provide an attractive compound to enjoy for many more generations.
