Property Description
As if torn from the pages of a story book, this charming and picturesque property is an oasis waiting for you. The home, lovingly referred to as We-Sho-Can, is a majestic retreat that includes 17 acres of land providing you both privacy and tranquility. The main house, the farmhouse, is the foundation of the property. It is perched on the highest point of the grounds and overlooks the entire property. It has a special vantage point from which you can enjoy abundant natural light. The light beams into the home and flows through the open and airy space. Post and beam construction brings loads of character and natural warmth into the house. The traditional style has been matched with great updates including the kitchen, which has been beautifully renovated, offering a fresh and modern feel to this special home. There is a tremendous amount of counter space providing ample room for prep work and cooking. The six-burner Thermador stove with a vented hood is a chef’s delight. There is generous storage throughout, including multiple pantry closets and an additional pantry space adjacent to the conveniently located laundry units. The living area is surrounded by large windows and multiple sliding glass doors that invite the beautiful landscape into every view. The space is well laid out with a separate formal dining area and a large comfortable living room. Rich, hardwood floors and fantastic built-ins are just some of the architectural touches that run throughout the entire home. The farmhouse features three bedrooms. The primary suite upstairs includes a formal bedroom and considerable additional room for a host of options - a home gym, meditation area, home office, etc. This is an expansive space surrounded by windows that bring in great natural light. The bedroom suite flows into a separate changing room outfitted with good storage space, a sitting area and a full bathroom. The deep soaking tub is adjacent to windows that face out over the property and provide yet another exciting view. A second bedroom, with its own half bath, is conveniently located on the first floor and is separated by French doors to ensure complete privacy. Finally, the converted garage/bedroom offers 15’ ceilings and substantial space to expand into a true primary suite. The second building is the two-story studio with 18’ ceilings and roughly 2000 sq feet of additional living space. The studio is truly a spectacular space and has been previously used as a recording studio, an artist studio, a woodworking and metal workshop, and also as a secondary entertainment space. There is a split system AC unit in the building and full Washer/Dryer should you have guests who want to stay longer term. Upstairs you will find a fully outfitted one bedroom apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom. Choose to entertain guests with their own housing during their stay or enjoy the benefits of rental income by renting it out for weekends or long term. The last building is the all-seasons Yurt that overlooks the swimming pond.The Yurt’s main room has been used as a yoga and meditation studio, a home office and a lounging space with terrific tranquil views of the pond; the entry room is currently used as a small gym; and a storage room holds pond floats, fishing gear, etc. A wood stove warms the Yurt’s main room all winter. Rounding out the property is gorgeous landscaping every way you look. There is a functional greenhouse that is great for gardening enthusiasts. The greenhouse connects into a thoughtful and expansive vegetable garden that can produce for you all season long. The property also features numerous outdoor seating options. Whether you choose to dine out under the pergola surrounded by the lush gardens, on the front porch enjoying a cocktail at dusk, or on the patio out by the studio enjoying a bonfire, you have so many spaces to explore and enjoy. You’ve been searching for the perfect retreat. It has finally arrived.
