A heritage nineteenth-century Cape set within an extraordinary tree park.The John Brown Farm was built for two sea captain brothers in 1828. The year-round, Cape-style farm house sits atop a knoll surrounded by 85± acres of meadow, old hardwood forest, orchards, and gardens, in a spectacular private setting.Well-maintained, it features a central chimney with three fireplaces, modern wood stove and furnace, four bedrooms and preserved period details. The salt-water farm includes three outbuildings, among them a 2,640± square foot wood-paneled, heated, and nicely-fenestrated barn. The current owners have introduced hundreds of aesthetically-sited trees and bushes to create an extensive, inviting tree park, meticulously cleared.Two warm, spring-fed swimming ponds, with gazebo, pier, and float, and a tranquil island reached by wooden bridge, have been lovingly landscaped with ornamental bushes and dramatic trees.Additional, contiguous waterfront land is available for sale.
