At the heart of Unicorn Farm stands the distinguished circa-1900 residence, with the original section dating back to 1750, lovingly maintained by its present stewards for over 50 years. The property reflects a deep commitment to its land and legacy, making a farm of this caliber increasingly rare. Rich in character, warmth, and timeless appeal, the main level is both inviting and refined, with a spacious eat-in kitchen and gathering area, featuring a saltbox ceiling, exposed beams, and brick flooring. The bright, sun-filled space is framed by large windows that offer lovely outdoor views, and a door leading to a brick patio. Elegant entertaining spaces unfold throughout the home, including a formal dining room and a gracious living room—both with beautiful fireplaces. Built-ins further enhance the rooms. A separate formal sitting room, also with its own fireplace and exterior entrance, completes the first floor. Brick and hardwood floors run throughout, complementing the home’s historic integrity while adding warmth and texture to each space. Period details blend effortlessly throughout. Eight fireplaces lend charm and architectural significance. The second floor features a total of four bedrooms and three full baths, with an ensuite bath in the primary. Also included is the charming, attached “Wister Loft.” Wister Loft with its own private entrance. Wister Loft is a thoughtfully designed space that offers one bedroom and one full bath, highlighted by exposed beams and a fireplace—an inviting retreat that provides guests or family with privacy while remaining seamlessly connected to the main home.
Enhancing the property’s versatility is a newly renovated 1,400-square-foot apartment, ideal for rental, guest accommodations, or on-site staff.

This is more than a property—it is a legacy holding. A place where history, land, and lifestyle converge—protected for generations to come—offering a truly rare opportunity to bring your equestrian vision to life in a private, exceptional, and accessible location.
