Gorgeous property within easy commuting distance to Hartford! Bring your horses and enjoy your own equestrian piece of heaven. This classic lean-to saltbox, built over 250 years ago, has wide board floors and wood paneling in six of seven rooms. An efficient kitchen, half bath upstairs and full bath downstairs offers modern comforts, but the house also offers the charm of three fireplaces with granite hearths, 9 over 12 windows and exposed beams. This antique home has been lovingly maintained in its setting - 2.96 acres of fields enriched with apple trees, red raspberry patches and gardens. An evergreen border offers privacy to the north and east and the property abuts the state 2,222 acre Roraback Wildlife Management Area to the south. The grounds accommodate two horses, with a 24' x 32' pole barn that features two 12' x 12' stalls, a 12' x 24' run-in, a hayloft above and a 24' x 8' porch that faces the setting sun. A fenced-in riding ring about 65' x 165' offers a level grass surface. The main turnout field, about 200' x 192' is bounded by a three-board fence, red oak on pressured treated posts. An auxiliary paddock and a wide lane between the main field and the property line's stone walls offer additional places to ride. The owners, along with neighboring boarding stable clients, also ride in the Roraback area. Own a piece of American architectural history!
