Possible to divide property in half; 40 acres with the house and 40 acres of woods. Good internet, cable and phone service available. Turn-key farm operation - organically grown vegetables and livestock/poultry production.

New tile floors, ash wood counter tops (from trees off of the farm) and completely rewired. The original maple hardwood floors in the downstairs living areas have been restored and the upstairs has all new carpet (2020).

The upstairs bathroom was remodeled in 2013 with new tile floors, claw foot tub and corner shower. The downstairs bathroom was remodeled in 2017 with a walk-in shower and tile floors. All of the interior trim of doors, windows, floor boards have been replaced with naturally stained ash wood harvested from the farm.

Outdoor gasification wood burning stove sized to heat both the house and part of the barn was installed in 2011. Attached 2 car garage with workshop (750 Sq ft) that can be heated in winter. The awesome L shaped gambrel roof barn was built in 2011 incorporating much of the 100 year old cedar beams and newer ash wood from the farm. This wooden barn has 3,075 sq ft on the lower level and 2,050 sf on the second level with multiple skylights for ambient light and ventilation. Underground line from the outdoor wood burner is completed so you could put in-floor heat in part of the barn. In addition, there is a 20x30 Steel barn, a 12x12 Green house, a 32 x 90 Hoop House, and a chicken coop. All of the electrical lines on the property have been buried in conduit in 2012.

There is electric fence around 20 acres (needs repair). In addition to vegetables, the property includes many perennial plants including raspberries, asparagus, horse radish, lemon sorrel, rhubarb, elderberries and apple and pear trees. Overall there is about 55 acres of wooded land (with maintained roads) and 25 acres of open tillable land (2-3 in vegetable production and rest in pasture). After a fulfilling day of working farm, hiking the woods or swimming in the pond, you can sit and enjoy the sunset on the fabulous deck that is shaded by a massive horse chestnut tree.
