Showings begin in May, with occupancy in June.
This unit is perfect for a work-from-home couple that enjoys the outdoors . The apartment is in a traditional New England farmhouse which is part of a 30 acre farm on the Oyster River. The farm includes a vegetable garden, a large field (perfect for walking dogs) and a dock on the river all of which are available to renters. It is one mile from downtown Durham, but a long driveway keeps is private and quiet. Parking is available in front of the home.
There are two large bedrooms and one smaller one which is perfect for a home office. It has both a dining room and a living room that contains a wood stove. Kitchen has new stove, dishwasher and refrigerator.
It has recently undergone a renovation that includes all new windows.
There are several other dwelling units on the property and I live in one of them.
If you are interested, here is a little more history about Shankhassick Farm:
Shankhassick Farm was founded by the Burnham family in the mid-17th century. The main house which is the one for rent, was constructed in 1673.
In 1906, Ralph D. Paine, a well-known journalist and popular author, and his wife, Katharine, purchased Shankhassick Farm and completely rebuilt the main house. He raised both a family and a collection of cows, horses and chickens.
My father was the eldest of his three sons and would become the managing editor and publisher of Fortune Magazine. In the 1970s he was the original remote worker, spending much of his time at the farm, and editing and publishing Fortune by phone, with occasional trips to New York.
Lease is annual. Renter pays for heat, internet and electric.
