A turn-key small farm in desirable Somerset. The charming saltbox style home is the work of a renowned builder and features cedar siding, old growth pine floors, and exposed beams salvaged from an 18th century home. Later improvements include the finished lower level with family room, a second fireplace, third bedroom, full bathroom, and a private patio. With the laundry and a full bath, main-level living is possible. Interiors are freshly painted and floors refinished. A wide deck overlooks the fenced yard and beyond the PJ Williams center-aisle stable of four stalls, feed room, hay storage, and wash stall. Two board-fenced paddocks and a lighted dressage arena complete this gem of a country property. Private and peaceful, with just the right proportion of lawn, trees, and pasture, it demands minimal care for maximum enjoyment. Eleven minutes from major amenities and 20 minutes from the airport. Super-fast FiberLync internet is available.

A
Agricultural District
The agricultural zoning district (A) comprises most of the land area of the county. It preserves the rural character of the county by protecting agriculture from conflicts with incompatible uses and discourages the random scattering of commercial and industrial uses and residential developments. In addition to agriculture, it permits the traditional rural pattern of homes and small businesses.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Bed & breakfast
Cemetery
