About this home

This is one of those properties that stands in a league of its own. This one-of-a-kind sanctuary has maritime-level craftsmanship in the new addition circa 2007 combined with old-world functionality of an 1800s farmhouse. Accessible, usable +-66.54 acres of land in current use with private cross-country skiing, walking, mountain biking, or horseback riding trails give you a space to retreat in the woods and fields. Creative passions abound, most famously and affectionately known as The Climate Change Yacht Club. This property is designed to function like a private park. There are beautiful wide and well maintained trails, custom art installations and incredible room to potentially subdivide or build additional structures. Highlighting the outdoor space is a custom solar array that doubles as a striking sculptural art piece / barn frame, set alongside thoughtfully landscaped gardens with elegant real marble steps and essentially every perennial that grows in this zone. The gardens are jaw dropping. The original home retains rare, irreplaceable character. The wood floors are of a quality simply no longer found today. An expansive new addition dramatically expands the living space, underlaid by a full unfinished lower level that offers endless potential for customization, storage, or future expansion. Single level living with a full bath and a 3/4 bath, bedroom, laundry and private library all on one level. Upstairs provides a bonus office and living space plus two more bedrooms. Outside, a grand circular driveway provides a graceful entrance to the residence with multiple covered parking space or garage bay options. Situated on coveted Ridge Road, a paved and publicly maintained road making this very accessible. For makers, or serious hobbyists, the property features a massive multi-bay heated workshop space equipped with dedicated meter and high-capacity power tailored for CNC machinery and heavy equipment.
