About this property

Meticulously cared for and thoughtfully enhanced over time, this circa 1800 farmhouse beautifully blends the character of an early American home with modern-day comforts. Offering 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and an abundance of inviting living spaces, this light-filled home is set on a lovely parcel with picturesque views in every direction. A spacious family room with a propane gas fireplace opens off the kitchen, creating a warm and welcoming gathering space. A charming den with built-in bookshelves offers a quiet retreat, while the generous living room captures pastoral views of the fields across the road. With multiple spaces to gather, relax, or find a little solitude, the home offers a wonderful sense of comfort and versatility. Outdoors, the backyard is equally appealing, with mature shade trees, gently rolling terrain, and a park-like setting to enjoy throughout the seasons. Two paver patios provide lovely spots for entertaining, dining al fresco, or simply savoring a peaceful afternoon outside. A convenient mudroom connects to the garage via a covered breezeway, and a full bath with laundry adds everyday practicality in a functional out of the way location. An exceptional opportunity awaits with two separate lots on separate deeds, totaling 1.29 acres. The additional 0.31-acre parcel offers its own driveway, electric service, well, and one-car garage, creating a wealth of possibilities. Retain it for added privacy and space, explore the potential to build an additional home, or consider selling it separately in the future. Additional amenities include a detached two-car garage, a separate storage shed, and more. Rich in character, surrounded by a peaceful setting, and offering the rare flexibility of a second parcel, this delightful farmhouse presents a wonderful opportunity to enjoy country living with room to dream.

Questions to ask before you buy

Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
