Built in the 1860s, this historic residence offers over 3,000 finished sq. ft. Nestled on more than 25 picturesque acres—mostly wooded with some open pasture—the property provides a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, yet is conveniently close to modern amenities.

Surrounded by mature trees, wildlife, and the charm of its rural setting, this historic estate is ideal for those seeking space, privacy, and an opportunity to bring a treasured piece of local history back to life. The home is being sold in its "as-is" condition (including well and septic), as the longtime owner who lived here for over 40 years is unable to make repairs and/or updates. For the right buyer, this is a rare chance to own a historic estate with tremendous potential, character, and setting - truly a one-of-a-kind property waiting to shine once again.
