Over 51 acres with two 5-6 bedroom preliminary perc sites, plentiful gardens, outbuildings, and the most charming and timeless storybook Farmhouse located in one of two ideal clearings. The over 2300-square-foot Farmhouse gives a nod to the early 1900s—yet was originally built in 1978 with additions in 1985 and 2002. It’s rooted in history and encircled by lush gardens, mature hardwoods, and magically curated gathering areas. It features wrap-around porches and a dramatic living room with soaring ceilings and a Rumford fireplace. It’s a place where one could imagine the likes of Truman Capote, Robert Penn Warren, and Alice Walker trading stories around the fire, sipping a fine whiskey.
A second and third fireplace anchor both the kitchen and the home’s original “summer kitchen,” now reimagined as an intimate speakeasy and wine room. Down a short hallway lies the powder room and an office that opens to the back porch and hot tub. Upstairs, you find the main bedroom and bath, a charming library, and a loft with closets that doubles as a second bedroom.
Additional outbuildings include a 30′ x 46′ workshop with roll-up doors, a loft, and a 400-amp panel in both the workshop and home, along with a 240-volt EV plug. An additional hobby room is located near the firepit, while another storage shed with antique doors houses garden equipment. Trails weave through the acreage, one leading down the holler to a picnic table by the creek.
Beyond its existing magic, the property offers remarkable potential—ideal for a family compound, guest retreat, multi-generational living, or a private grand estate. The possibilities are endless.
