About this home
Lovely 1830’s 3 bedroom country cape on 3 acres+/- with attached office/artist/professional space. Until recently, it was the site of the local country veterinarian, where a wide range of pets, including a goldfish, traveled with their owners over the covered bridge to be treated. This property includes a 3 bedroom, 1 bath home with open land, large fenced-in area for pets, an attached former clinic space and two barns. The inviting living room features a pellet stove, built-in shelving and hardwood flooring salvaged from an old church. The kitchen features a center island and hand hewn beams that accent the natural woodwork. There is a delightful first floor full bath w/ clawfoot tub. A spacious, tiled sunroom provides additional first floor living space and opens onto the deck/patio. Upstairs are 3 large bedrooms connected by a hallway with ample storage. A lovely enclosed 3 season porch adjoins the front of the house to enjoy summer evenings. The attached professional space includes an office/waiting area, 2 exam rooms, a center lab counter, half bath and several additional spaces that could be customized for your needs. The house and clinic space have independent septic systems as well as two separate furnaces. An auto generator and fiber optic internet makes working remotely possible and keeps you connected. The two barns make great additions to the property; one next to the house that is useful as a garage and the other a 3-stall horse barn set on an upper plateau.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

RR-1
Rural Residential 1 District
The RR-1 zoning district encompasses the largest area of the town. Much of this area was originally farmland. The farms augmented income with logging, maple syrup production, and other farm related activity. Rural areas continue to host a variety of uses some of which are a continuation of the old farm and New England tradition of mixed uses in the rural areas. The limited commercial uses, such as retail store, are more likely along major roads while other uses such as a reservoir may be on more lightly travelled roadways. The 1-2 acre lot size means that uses may be in close proximity. Some areas have homes very near to each other on small lots such as Edgebrook Park, Rte. 121, Cambridgeport, and Upper and Lower Bartonsville.; The Rural Residential 1 District allows for moderate-density development in a rural setting.
Directions: From Ludlow, go South on Route 103 through Chester for 12 miles. Continue South for another 4 miles, then turn left on Lower Bartonsville Road. Proceed through Covered Bridge. Property is 1 mile down on right. See sign.
