Live near the Connecticut shoreline potentially for free?! Well, it could be your reality with this property. Given the property’s TWO separate houses, you could use the main house’s secured rental income of $3750/month to pay down your mortgage, while living contently in the detached, cozy barnhouse building …almost for nothing. If that doesn’t intrigue you, then perhaps the charming architecture and romantic landscape will. Welcome to Blue Heron Farm – your pastoral paradise, only minutes from the best of Connecticut’s shore. Nestled into a private and serene 5-acre parcel, this historic Cape-style house has been lovingly renovated into a modern, farm-chic home for comfortable living. Whether you're spreading out in the light-filled kitchen, swimming in your own pond, relaxing by the warm wood stove, or pursuing your next passion project in the workshop/bonus room, this property has something for everyone. With lush woods and moving streams, there's so much for the nature lover to explore. This is also the perfect property for someone with a green thumb or bent towards farming, since there are established perennial gardens, and a 50' x 50' vegetable garden with raised beds and trellises for growing, plus strawberry/raspberry beds and several fruit trees. There's plenty of room to expand the vegetable farm and grow even more. The main house has been renovated and updated throughout, including new roofs and windows (2021). Ask for list of improvements. Additionally, there's a spacious dining room, luminous living room, bright sun porch with views of the pond, large deck for grilling, and an airy reading-room porch. Other amenities include: an attic, detached garage, storage shed, laundry machines, and a large 40' x 16' "bonus room," which is for whatever you want to define it as (e.g., yoga studio, woodshop, greenhouse, recreation room, etc.). The main house has oil-based radiant hot water for the primary heat source, plus a brand new Norwegian Jotul wood-burning stove, and three electric, wall-mounted Mitsubishi Mini-splits for additional heating/cooling. The house also has a propane-powered Generac automatic-generator for outages. To top it off, there’s a separate two-story “barn house” on the property that features a workshop/storage area on the first floor and a full 1-bedroom apartment on the second floor, replete with a kitchen, full bathroom, living room, dining room, and porch, overlooking the field. The barnhouse has its own septic system and is fully permitted as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) for up to a 2-Bedroom capacity with plenty of space on the first floor to do so. This detached barnhouse building has its own electric meter, propane heating system, and utilities, except for shared well-water with the main house. Real estate investors take notice, these two buildings earn a combined $5,950.00/month in rent. This barnhouse serves perfectly as a potential rental, AirBNB, artist studio, home business space, or detached in-law for family and guests. There’s plenty of acreage, so the barnhouse could also be potentially subdivided as a stand-alone property. Enjoy the best of what Connecticut offers with a tranquil rural setting, while only being minutes from the shoreline, 20 minutes from New Haven, and 10 minutes to Old Saybrook or Hammonasset Beach. A perfect spot to take the Clinton Crossing train to New York City, or simply telecommute from the porch with a view. Just across the street is Chittenden Hill Preserve, which has many acres of pristine trails for hiking and biking. Come own a piece of history and set your roots of future growth here at Blue Heron Farms.
