Open Vistas Farm

TEMPORARILY NOT SHOWING -- "A house is no home until it contains food and fire for the soul, as well as for the body." -Margaret Fuller This post & beam home with cathedral ceiling commands gorgeous long distance views over the certified organic 200+ acres. Conceived to maximize beautiful country views of green fields, wildflower meadows, forested land, five ponds, which are home to largemouth bass, and a creek that threads through, this rural oasis is set well back from the road for the ultimate in privacy. The main floor houses 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for easy first-floor living. Captivating your guests upon arrival is the semi-open floor plan with gleaming knotty pine flooring and a soaring stone fireplace in the vaulted ceiling living room that is perfectly balanced by a wall of windows providing a panoramic view. The gourmet kitchen harmonizes earthy and metal tones with a stone backsplash, hammered metal custom hood, and sleek wooden cabinetry to create a space both modern and rustic. The oversized island, chef's oven and granite countertops with stainless steel appliances make entertaining a breeze. Arched header beams in the loft create a perfect office location. A finished walkout basement has a family room and full bathroom. A second home, which presents an income opportunity as well, is a three-story 1811 Farmhouse that maintains many original elements such as thick stone walls, wide wooden floorboards, and exposed beams. Offering 3 fireplaces in total, this 4 Bedroom 2 Bath estate like home's interior has been kept as authentic as possible but adjusted minimally to offer modern-day accompaniments. The first floor welcomes guests into a large dining area, relaxing living room with large fireplace for a cozy ambiance, a sitting area with a second fireplace, a large bedroom and ample kitchen round out the first floor.

The home is dressed with crown molding, wainscoting, chair rail, and a soothing color pallet to ensure a peaceful retreat throughout. Ancillary buildings integral to this farmstead including a fully functional, vintage dairy barn and two Morton pole barns, all kept in pristine condition.
