This 200 year old Farmhouse provides modern conveniences while retaining old world charm. Parts of the house have been fully modernized. You sleep at night in the oversized master bedroom suite, surrounded by windows overlooking 4 ½ acres. You awake to the sound of birds chirping, with views of the pond and old stone walls. The property sits on a quiet country road, but is not isolated in the woods - a perfect compromise for someone transitioning from a metropolitan environment. Easy access to well maintained roads during the winter take you to two nearby ski areas, and in the summer, to multiple lakes and hiking trails, like the Long/Appalachian trail. The house has 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, an oversized kitchen with appointed modern appliances, a formal dining and living room. The basement has a cistern converted for wine storage with an 8-10 case capacity and consistent 55-60 degree temperature naturally all year round.

There are stands of perennial flowering plants, bushes and trees throughout Spring and Summer. The entire grounds trees and plants are Organic. The foliage explodes into hues of yellow, orange and red in the fall. Being offered fully furnished.
