Description

Extraordinary Historic estate (updated!) on 30 breathtaking acres with VIEWS! Views that make you feel like you're in a tree house! Truly extraordinary property. No HOA and NOT in conservation. Stunning historic home and award-winning Fuog-built bank barn (2022).

Perched to capture spectacular eastern views, the property offers unforgettable sunrises and sweeping vistas stretching to Sugarloaf Mountain. With origins dating back to circa 1820, the original log home has been thoughtfully restored and expanded over time—creating a perfect blend of coziness, character, and modern comfort. Additions in the 1990s and a stunning 2020 expansion have created a truly move-in ready home that honors its history while delivering today’s lifestyle. From the expansive wraparound deck, family room, and primary suite, you’ll feel immersed in nature—like living in a private treehouse retreat.

The main residence features 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including a new 3-level addition. As part of the new addition, the luxurious primary suite boasts vaulted ceiling, stunning spa-like bath, and walk-in closet with convenient washer/dryer. The beautifully updated kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, a copper farmhouse sink, granite and butcher block counters, and opens seamlessly to a dramatic family/dining room with a wall of windows and wood-burning fireplace. Throughout the home, warmth and character abound with exposed log walls, beamed and vaulted ceilings, wood floors, and three fully functional fireplaces (all cleaned and inspected in 2025).

A charming and private in-law apartment, located in a wing of the original log home, offers exceptional flexibility, complete with its own entrance, kitchen, full bath, loft bedroom, and fireplace—ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or Airbnb potential. The walkout lower level adds even more versatility with a home office, gym, craft room, second laundry, and access to a brick patio with fire pit. Don't miss the private sauna where you relax and recharge while enjoying views of the property!

Outside, the land is as impressive as the home. A picturesque mix of open pasture, woods, and a spring-fed, stocked pond with dock and private beach creates a truly idyllic setting. Approximately 9 acres are fenced for livestock, complemented by electric fencing, three automatic waterers, and run-in sheds.

Equestrian and agricultural enthusiasts will appreciate the award-winning, Fuog-built bank barn (2022), designed for both function and beauty. This 2.5-level structure includes: 4 horse stalls; 6 sheep stalls with adjustable-height and removable walls; a milking station; pig pen with concrete floor and automatic waterer; climate-controlled tack room and feed room; flexible storage or event space which could be finished off to create four additional horse stalls; hay loft; wash stall with hot and cold water; and equipment storage. Enjoy a turn-key working farm or an extraordinary party barn:)

With no HOA, the possibilities here are endless. Additional features include a copper roof (metal on the addition), water treatment system, two water heaters (including tankless), wiring for a generator, and over $700,000 in recent improvements. Recent updates include: 3-level addition (2020), new bank barn (2022), HVAC (2018), tankless hot water heater/boiler (2019), newer well pump, septic tank pumped (2025).
