VAUCLUSE SPRING, a spectacular, unique country property, beautifully restored. 7 Houses/Cabins with 15 en suite bedrooms. 44.25 AC, partially fenced, open fields currently used for cattle. Currently an Inn/B&B. Property is perfect for a family compound, gathering place for your corporate gatherings or as working farm. Magnificent 1785 brick Manor House built by one of the earliest area families underwent major restoration in the late 90s, adding a full commercial kitchen and upgrades to the six large, bright and airy guest bedroom suites. The six cabins/houses, all with wonderful character, provide nine additional guest suites, private living spaces and outdoor living. The careful layout of the cabins takes advantage of the gently rolling terrain and the spring-fed pond. Vaucluse Spring itself is a limestone aquifer that produces 1.5 million gallons of water per day and flows into a beautiful waterfall next to Mill House Studio to the bold live creek beyond. Perfect for a family compound or corporate retreat property, Vaucluse Spring has been operating as a successful Inn/B&B. The comfortable suites with full baths complete with jetted tubs, fireplaces and outdoor spaces make the perfect weekend retreat. A sparkling 53' x 25' in-ground pool overlooks grounds, gardens and the fields and woods beyond. Walking trails through the woods and the setting around the pond create peaceful, serene spaces from which to watch the birds and wildlife. Additionally, the Owners' Quarters provides two bedrooms and complete living facilities for caretakers or as a rental. Please note: Covid protocols are in place when visiting the property. Thank you for wearing a mask.
