"Orchard Hill Farm" c. 1795. A rare opportunity to own a documented piece of New England history. Offered for the first time since 1954, this two-and-a-half story Eighteenth Century Colonial was moved to this location in the early 1800s and remained in the Peckham family, prominent local farmers and legislators, for over 150 years. The classic five-bay, south-facing facade, brick center chimney, and original central entry with transom lights are hallmarks of the prosperous farmhouses of that era. Set on a full acre framed by authentic vintage stone walls, the grounds offer privacy and character that new construction cannot replicate. The home needs updating, but the bones are irreplaceable and the history is documented. For the buyer with vision, this is stewardship of a landmark not just the purchase of a house. Properties like this are few and far between.

Whitehall, located between East Main Road and Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, is a coastal and residential Middletown neighborhood with salt-air marsh views and a low-slung, beach-town streetscape. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the East Main Road corridor near the Whitehall Avenue area, where surf-and-supply shops, local eateries, and everyday services line the drive. Norman Bird Sanctuary serves as a defining landscape, with trails threading through fields and wetlands. Nearby, Sweet Berry Farm anchors the local food scene with a market and seasonal fields. The Green End Pond loop adds a quiet, water-edged counterpoint to the busier roadways. Housing trends toward shingled capes, ranches, and newer builds set back behind stone walls and wind-shaped trees.
