This rare and incomparable property may well suit a gentleman farmer, a unique retreat or conference center, bed & breakfast or just be your own lord of the manor.
A long driveway in under a canopy of trees lead you to this imposing 3200 sq ft fieldstone house originally built in ca. 1937. It has been fully renovated without losing any of it's heritage charm.
From the side mudroom entry, with fieldstone floor walk into the large "live-in" kitchen (22x17.6) with loads of cupboards and counter space, a sitting nook in front of cozy woodstove and breakfast table in front of a large bay window overlooking meadows and the lake beyond.
Walk through from there into the formal dining room (22.9x13) big enough for the largest Christmas dinner gathering with gorgeous original hardwood floors (newly refinished) and windows at each end.
Between the dining room and the living room is the formal entry (13.10x7.3) with curving staircase to upper floors.
The living room (22.9x13.6) also has windows at each end (overlooking the lake at on end and the inground pool at the other), and the same original hardwood floors (newly refinished) as the dining room and foyer. Center stage is a beautiful two-way fieldstone fireplace which is even more imposing on the other side in the adjoining family room (23x20.8) with cathedral ceiling, pegged hardwood floors and huge bay window with window seat and breathtaking westerly view of Sturgeon Lake on the horizon.
Also on the main floor is a laundry room with shower, a two piece powder room and a full 4 piece bathroom. Walk out to the back patio overlooking the pool.
On the upper level is a central hall with 3 bedrooms leading off that. A master bedroom (16x13) with two closets (one a walk in) and ensuite bathroom which overlooks the pool and back gardens and meadows; and are two more good sized bedrooms (13.3x12.6 and 13x8.4) and a full bathroom.
The very private back garden is fully fenced and has a heated 20x40 concrete pool, with a 10' deep end with diving board. Surrounding this are flagstone patios and paths and gorgeous perennial beds, a shaded gazebo, some very mature trees and a small apple orchard. There is a hot and cold outside shower and a cabana room at the end of the double garage for changing and keeping pool equipment.
Also included is a bonus two story 1360 sq ft guest house facing away from the main house and overlooking the pond. More information and photos on the Guest house click here.
Surrounding all this are 286 acres of rolling pastures edged with wood, all of it fenced with various meadows separately fenced and gated for moving cows from pasture to pasture. This property has been used as a residential home for several years but the pastures are currently rented out for cattle grazing.
Numerous out-building and barns complete the package:
- 38x66 drive shed with a section used as a heated workshop(has hydro)
- a horse/cow barn with 20 stalls and waterlines
- a cattle barn with feeding troughs and waterlines
- a silo
- a concrete enclosure between the 2 barns for sorting cattle
