    What's special

    Set on just over 3 acres along one of the area's most iconic country roads, this beautifully maintained farm offers a rare combination of timeless farmhouse charm and modern convenience. Thoughtfully updated and exceptionally well cared for, the home retains the warmth, character, and cozy feel of a classic farmhouse while providing the comforts expected today. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, front and back stairs, Screened porch and bluestone patios for el fresco dining or sitting around the firepit while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Beyond the house, the property unfolds as a country retreat, framed by pastoral views that provide an enduring backdrop in every season. Exceptionally well-maintained outbuildings further enhance the property, offering versatile space for a private studio, workshop, collector's retreat, equestrian or agricultural pursuits, or simply the opportunity to accommodate the passions and pleasures of country life. There are properties that offer a beautiful home, and then there are properties that possess a sense of place, this distinguished farm belongs to the latter. For over 50 years the current owners embraced stewardship of the property's character and now it's time to hand it off to the next owners. They are selling their memories, and you will be buying your dreams. Approximately 780 square feet of unfinished space over the newer addition is roughed for a future bath, bedrooms or studio, just think of the possibilities. This home is on the Town of Simsbury's historic inventory identifying it as the Dwight Gates Homestead. The town allows detached ADUs (accessory dwelling unit) Your views are protected on two sides; the rear of the property abuts the McLean Game Refuge and western view Has a restrictive easement for the first 300 feet to maintain the view across the field and into the Mclean Game Refuge
