Circa 1780 Colonial on over 132 acres. Great opportunity to restore an unspoiled gem! The home is not inhabitable and needs total renovation, but has huge potential for possible B&B, retreat or family farm. Acres of hilltop hayfield with beautiful southwesterly views. Two large fields, pasture & large wooded portion sloping toward the Prince River to the west. This property has been in the same family since 1837 and was once part of Great Farm VII. Assessment reflects Chapter 61A.

5 Bed ∙ 4,247 Sq Ft ∙ 133.55 Ac.

The tower was added in the late 1800’s.

Undated photo.

Before the tower was added. As you can see, this home is a mixture of styles from Colonial to the Victorian period.

I love this photo. From when it was a dairy farm.

Inside the tower.

Photo caption from the listing says this is the butler’s pantry.

The listing said this was just the “interior”.

The view from one of the fields is fabulous.
