This stunning 1806 federal colonial estate house is set back from the quiet rolling tree-lined country road in upper Merryall, only 80 miles from Manhattan. Distinctive features include wide plank chestnut floors, exposed hand-hewn chestnut beams, 9' ceilings, 6 fireplaces, plus an original beehive oven. The 1.88 acres have a historic gabled roof barn, mature trees and are surrounded by protected unbuildable land. To complement the original stone walls, a former owner carried out a wonderful vision: rocks and some massive slabs are artistically landscaped as tiered seating and meditation areas around a miniature pond. Located a short walk to Nostrand trail, a 7-minute drive to New Preston's antique shops, wine bar and café, and the Northville food market, 8 minutes to Lake Waramaug, and 12 minutes to downtown New Milford. Move in and continue the loving restoration of this home with your style and creative touch. Some of the rooms may be ideal to configure as a separate wing for a master suite or guest area utilizing an existing private access stairway.
