Dreaming about raising a family on a homestead? With 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths + 36 acres, imagine the possibilities! Approaching the 2500 sqft home, up the long driveway, you will pass 3 spring-fed ponds, perfect for swimming, fishing for trout, watching the koi or skating. The original farmhouse, built in 1886, received an addition in 2018, but still maintains its farmhouse character, down to the swing on the wraparound porch. The slate floored foyer has a built-in bench to help keep everyone organized + conveniently a 2-pc bath is close by.

Grab a book from the built-in shelves in the bright living room + cozy up on the window seat or beside the woodstove. Kiddos can watch a movie in the spacious family room, while you are working from the main floor office. Upstairs, the kids have 4 bedrooms to choose from + a stunning 5-pc bath to share.
