Introducing Canterbury Farm, a truly one-of-a-kind historic estate encompassing six parcels and 44.19 breathtaking acres in the heart of Hanover! Referred to as “The Historic Estate”, its story began in the 1800s, with architectural additions between 1830 to 2004, creating a residence that blends timeless character with modern luxury and breathtaking views! The main home features 3 bedrooms plus an optional 4th/office, 3 full baths, and sweeping views of farmland from nearly every room! Exposed beams, original heart-of-pine floors, wide plank & tongue-and-groove paneling, and 5 fireplaces preserve its history, while a chef’s kitchen with Wolf range, copper vent hood, and farm sink offers elegance for everyday living. The log-walled dining room invites memorable gatherings, and the heated greenhouse/sunroom—with garden windows that open to the breeze—is a showstopping space for al fresco dining as the sun sets over the fields. A finished lower level adds a rec room with new floors, terrace access, and plumbed for a wet bar, while a spacious mudroom and utility area provide function, charm, and an additional private entrance. The land itself is extraordinary: a fully restored pond stocked with bass, perch, and bluegill; majestic dogwoods, magnolias, and a sweeping weeping willow; and a 12-year-old truffle orchard injected with truffle spores! The land invites endless potential—whether enjoyed as a private retreat, recreation, working farm, or future development opportunity! A party barn, woodshop, detached shed, multiple-bay garages, and a 3-car garage with storage above complete the estate. Recent updates such as cedar flower beds and refinished country porch only add to its enduring beauty! With Starlink internet, thoughtful updates, and unmatched natural beauty, Canterbury Farm is more than a property—it is a generational sanctuary waiting to be cherished!
