Nestled on a picturesque lot in the charming small town of Erin, this exquisite estate spans 71.91 acres of meticulously cultivated farmland. The property boasts a private pond, outbuildings, and lush pastures. The original stone farmhouse from 1861 has been thoughtfully preserved with stone feature walls blending the old with timeless updates. This home includes a three-bed, two-bath suite with walk-out basement, creating two self-sufficient dwellings, ideal for multigenerational living. Upon entering, guests are welcomed into a meticulously designed interior filled with natural light and elegant hardwood floors. The chef's kitchen is the heart of this home, ft with white cabinetry, sleek countertops, and a charming farmhouse sink. A formal dining room, accommodating eighteen guests, offers a remarkable setting for gatherings, framed by large windows with sweeping field views. Multiple living spaces, including a rustic great room with exposed stone and a cozy den, provide an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes a five-piece en-suite and a walk-in closet. Just off this, find three beautifully appointed guest rooms. The backyard is an entertainer's paradise, featuring an in-ground pool, lounging areas, and a landscaped patio. Enhancing the estate are substantial outbuildings, including a 30x34ft drive shed with a ten-foot sliding door, concrete floor, insulated walls, and hydro. The 50x35ft horse barn features 8 stalls [potential for 9], a feed/tack room, and StableComfort mats in each. Four large summer grazing paddocks and three small winter paddocks, all with run-in sheds, complete the setup. It has front and rear access, a hay loft for 1,000 bales. The 40x35ft garage, part of the original farm, was re-shingled in 2025. Chestnut Ridge Farms is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that epitomizes country living, offering space to breathe, grow, and put down your roots.
