| Overview: |
We have been privileged to list unique and very attractive properties. This is no different. Off the Cabot Trail, amongst sweeping meadows and some very beautiful maples and tall firs, the house once had stables attached at the far end, in which two useful horse boxes remain. The house has been up-graded since its purchase in 2007, with hard-wood floors, a new kitchen arrangement, and an extended bedroom making a total of 5 bedrooms. The master on the ground floor has sliding glass doors to the outside, and a bathroom. But the charm of the place lies in its totally open-country feel, there being no neighbors within sight. The river bordering the back has trout, and is pristine. The two large barns need to be seen to be believed. While one is empty, the other has been converted to a combination delightful apartment and party lounge bar/exercise/TV area and upstairs - half basketball court, pool table and ping pong table. A party area if there ever was one. This property has it all!
|
| More: |
- there is a survey available on this property
- fly fishing, white water kayaking in the spring lend considerable interest to this location given the over 400 meters (1312 feet) of Middle River that serve as the back property boundary
- the extraordinary barn in which the new and very comfortable apartment is located, next to the large two floor exercise, sitting, gaming and bar - not to speak of the second floor half basketball court, pool table and ping pong tables - have to be seen - along with the very attractive rustic tables, chairs and furniture - to be properly appreciated
|
