HISTORIC. PRIVATE. ONE OF A KIND. Set on nearly 6 acres with stunning mountain views, this late-1700s home delivers something today’s homes simply can’t replicate with its authentic character, unmatched privacy, and endless potential. Inside, you’ll find over 1,500+ square feet of living space with hardwood floors, a spacious eat-in kitchen, and a functional layout with 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. Outside is where this property truly separates itself featuring open land, detached garage, workshop space, and a rare one-room brick schoolhouse that adds serious character and future potential. Property is fenced and ready for your animals with run-in sheds in the pasture. Whether you have horses, just want more land to roam, or are looking for your first homestead, this farmette cannot be beat for the price!
Scenic Mountain Views! Two and one-half story home dating back to the 1790's; original structure is log. The large eat-in kitchen leads to a spacious dining room with hardwood floor; the living room offers a hardwood floor as well. Upstairs you will find three nice sized bedrooms all freshly drywalled and painted, along with new carpeting and a full bath. The laundry is located on the enclosed rear porch. The property also offers a two-car garage plus a workshop area with woodstove. The quaint old brick one-room school house located on the opposite side of New Rd is also included on this 5.98 acre lot. Animals are also welcome here! A large open field lends itself for outdoor activities or would make a great pasture area.
