Rich in history, character, and natural beauty, this remarkable property features a beautifully preserved circa 1850 stone farmhouse, a charming converted spring house/cottage, a four-stall barn, a four-bay garage/workshop, mature trees, streams, abundant wildlife, and plenty of space to garden, explore, and enjoy country living while remaining just minutes from everyday conveniences.
