Rarely does a property offering this much country character and equestrian functionality become available just minutes from Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area. For anyone seeking a farmette near this exceptional recreational and equestrian destination, the location is a significant advantage. <br><br> Set within a picturesque multi-acre landscape, this enchanting 18th-century farmhouse offers a remarkable sense of privacy and space. The property is bordered on two sides by common ground that is not intended for future development, creating peaceful, open views that extend beyond the property lines. The neighboring pond is also located within the common area, further enhancing the pastoral setting. A substantial portion of the property is dedicated to fenced pasture, making the acreage especially functional for horses and country living. <br><br> Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced, the home preserves its historic character while providing many of today’s sought-after conveniences. Step inside to discover an inviting main level where rich hardwood flooring, timeless architectural details, and abundant natural light create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. <br><br> The living room is a standout space, featuring detailed custom trimwork, elegant built-in shelving, beautiful hardwood floors, and numerous windows that fill the room with natural light. The spacious country kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, offering a center island, ample cabinetry, generous table space, and an easy connection to the adjoining dining area. <br><br> The home offers two comfortable bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a stall shower and a separate tub. A walk-in closet, custom built-ins, attic storage, and an upper-level laundry area provide practical functionality throughout. <br><br> Extensive capital improvements offer exceptional peace of mind, including a durable metal roof installed in 2018, a new septic system and drain field completed in 2021, a high-efficiency furnace installed in 2025, and central air conditioning added in 2015. Additional improvements include a well water pump and pressure control system installed in 2018, a water softener added in 2019, a reverse osmosis water filtration system installed in 2025, an asphalt driveway completed in 2021, backyard fencing added in 2023, and newly fenced pasture completed in 2026. <br><br> Outside, the expansive front porch and spacious rear deck offer inviting places to relax while taking in the mature trees, rolling landscape, neighboring pond, and peaceful countryside views. The surrounding common ground contributes to a setting that feels considerably larger, more private, and more secluded than the property lines alone might suggest. <br><br> The equestrian amenities include a stable, paddock, and fenced pasture, along with a substantial barn and attached garage housed within one versatile building. The barn and garage provide flexible space for horses, vehicles, equipment, tools, hobbies, and storage. An electrical subpanel added to the barn in 2023 further enhances the building’s functionality. A separate shed, formerly used as the farm’s workshop, offers additional utility with 220-volt electrical service. <br><br> Offering a rare combination of historic character, thoughtful system upgrades, usable fenced pasture, protected neighboring open space, and an exceptional location near Fair Hill, this captivating farmette is more than a home—it is an opportunity to embrace the equestrian, recreational, and country lifestyle for which this special area is known.
