Property Description

Step into a rare and extraordinary retreat where history, design, and nature come together. This architect-designed barn conversion, originally built in the early 1800s, preserves the charm of its original construction with hand-hewn beams and solid locally sourced pine floors, while offering modern comforts throughout. The open kitchen, dining, and living space features soaring cathedral ceilings and sliding glass doors to a back deck overlooking the expansive acreage. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with granite countertops, blonde maple shaker cabinets, and stainless steel appliances—perfect for everyday living or entertaining in style. The main house offers three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a first-floor primary suite with a jetted soaking tub and glass shower, a flexible bedroom or office with deck access, and an upstairs large bedroom with a walk-in closet and full bath with a tiled shower. Central air conditioning ensures year-round comfort. A separate 20x24-foot guest house/ADU includes one bedroom, one full bath, and an open living/kitchen area, ideal for visitors, extended family, or rental potential. The entire lower level of the home, originally used to house cattle, offers huge untapped potential. It provides ample space for storage, a workshop, hobbyist pursuits, or outdoor enthusiasts seeking room for equipment and gear. Set on 63 acres of rolling fields, woodlands, and 8 acres of tillable land, the property gently rises from Wells Creek, which winds through the landscape with 1,914 feet of frontage behind the barn and up into the wooded areas. Two small beaver ponds enhance the natural beauty, and trails throughout provide access for hiking, hunting—including a tower stand which conveys—and all manner of outdoor enjoyment. This is an immaculate and truly rare offering: a historic, architect-designed home on expansive private acreage, where craftsmanship, privacy, and natural beauty converge.
