What's special
Take a 3D Tour OR Enjoy a Video Walkthrough 24/7! Set high on 603 acres, this remarkable Move-In-Ready Franklin hilltop estate captures expansive western views extending 15 miles. Built in 2001, the Post-and-Beam home showcases soaring timber framing, wide-plank floors, skylights, a metal roof, and a dramatic center stone double-sided fireplace. The main level has a 1st Flr Primary BR, open living areas, a Kitchen w/ Corian counters and newer appliances, plus a sun-filled dining area. A second BR, Office, and guest Bath provide flexibility, while the unfinished walkout lower level offers excellent expansion potential. A studio/in-law apartment is above the 3-car garage, connected to the home by a covered breezeway. Mechanical updates include a newer oil-fired boiler serving the main home's hydro-air system and an indirect hot water heater. The studio apartment has its own propane-fired direct-vent HVAC system. Existing uses include a small stone quarry/Christmas tree operation and approximately 110 acres in lush hay production, producing positive cash flow. Prime CT farmland w/ desirable topography, limited wetlands, substantial road frontage, and multiple access points creates exceptional potential for mixed agricultural uses, including livestock, equestrian endeavors, farm-to-table operations, vineyards, and even a wedding venue. Deed restrictions limit future use to agricultural purposes rather than subdivision. Showings require proof of funds or pre-approval for financing
