Details

Home Features

Step into timeless elegance with the 1861 limestone manor house, a premier example of period architecture. The large 4,768-sf home exudes warmth and grandeur at every turn. Meticulously preserved for generations, the home features original wide-board floors, intricate moldings, marble mantels, and lofty ceilings that flood the rooms with natural light year-round. Included in the sale is all the furniture shown, with the exception of a few personal items, vintage Persian rugs, and a twelve-person hardwood formal dining table.
As you enter, you're greeted by twin parlors—one with a wood-burning fireplace—on either side of the grand center hall. A formal dining room sits adjacent to the inviting country kitchen, which features brick floors, a fireplace, and modern conveniences. Tucked away, a charming stairwell leads to a secluded bedroom, perfect for a nanny, guest suite, or home office. The first floor is completed by a peaceful study, a covered porch, and full and half baths.
Ascend to the second floor via a large staircase with original banisters to four spacious bedrooms, fully appointed with percale linens, luxury hospitality-grade pillows, comforters, and beds, along with two fully renovated baths featuring luxury fixtures and timeless octagon marble tiles. The third floor offers 16-foot ceilings with a primary suite and full bathroom, as well as an additional spacious bedroom. The basement offers two more living rooms, a media room, a game room, and a wellness room.

A spectacular 40' x 80' gambrel barn, once used for weddings and events, comes complete with a commercial-grade kitchen, as well as high-quality tables and chairs for a 300-person event. The property also features a 4-stall stable with a tack room and 1-acre paddock, and a retail-ready flex barn.
The newly planted orchard and vineyard of cabernet franc add to the estate's charm and provide agricultural tax benefits, with further potential for development or alternate uses in the A2 agricultural district. With its expansive estate, agricultural tax benefits, and versatile amenities including a vineyard, event-ready barn, and year-round flex spaces, this property holds immense potential for both personal enjoyment and investment.
