The peaceful and private get-a-way property encompasses 361 panoramic acres, a primary home, two auxiliary homes (each with three bedrooms), two spring-fed ponds, bank barn, machine shed and multiple run-in sheds. The original stone home dates back to 1792 and has been tastefully renovated to preserve the historic features of the era. The home has an aesthetically appealing, architecturally designed addition providing a large family room, rec room, and multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. The home is in pristine condition and features a true chefs kitchen with a Viking 6 burner range and grill, Subzero refrigerator, double wall oven, built-in microwave, large island and granite countertops.
