Description

Set prominently on 10 acres of open meadow with pastoral views and stone walls, Raspberry Farm is a remarkable piece of New England history. The 18th century farmhouse was moved from the road and has been completely restored and renovated. The thirteen-room residence retains its historic soul with wide plank pine floors, 4 fireplaces, exposed timber beams and centuries of character. At its heart is a remarkable kitchen completely reimagined in 2019. Redesigned for flow, the space was opened to connect seamlessly with the dining and living spaces. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, Wolf appliances and expansive windows that bathe the room in natural light. From the screened porch, terrace and patio, sweeping views extend across hayfields, mature woods, and a tranquil pond offering a sanctuary to view spectacular evening sunsets. Adjacent to the farmhouse, sits a historic early 19th century post and beam barn ~ highlighted in a popular children’s book. It is one of the properties most distinctive features adding charm and nostalgia. In addition to the historic residence and barn, a newer post and beam barn built in 2019 offers horse stalls, tack room and storage. Equally compelling as a collector’s garage, studio or entertaining space, it offers remarkable flexibility. A three-car garage with ample storage completes the property. Adjoining conservation land adds approximately 30 acres of protected fields, forest, trails and pond, creating an extraordinary sense of privacy and permanence. Trails provide opportunities for walking, cross-country skiing, birding and horseback riding. Raspberry Farm is a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive New England country retreat where history, land and thoughtful improvements converge.
