Calico Farm was completely renovated in 2009 by a specialist in restoring old homes. The gut renovation enlarged and upgraded existing space and added 2 extra rooms and a larger kitchen and dining room. It has refinished reclaimed wood from VT for flooring and siding. An extra master bedroom was created over the existing 2 car garage. An enlarged kitchen with expansive windows facing south has beautiful stone counters and custom cabinetry. All the bathrooms are modernized and the house has liberally used wainscoting, wallpaper and sisal rugs. The interior of house was decorated by well known wife/husband team from NYC and the house has been featured in their book and in several design magazines. The house has a central A/C and heating controlled by Nest, a propane backup generator, 200' well and modern pump and water softener, fireplace, and modern utilities including Meile W/D in a separate modern mud room. The 5 acre plot for the main house also includes 2 barns with a guest cottage on the second floor of one, with full bath and kitchen, not included in the room count. In 2018 a 20x50' gunite pool and 8x8' hot tub was installed with a 15x70 bluestone patio, all placed by a large deer fenced enclosed vegetable garden with 12 raised beds. The house also has an additional adjoining 18 acres of land, which is adjacent to a tree nursery and working farms. The undeveloped pasture land has rolling hills and includes 3 ponds, the largest of which has a modern screened and roof shaded elevated deck patio, fireplace, dock and rope swing. The house, its adjacent bluestone decks with surround rock walls and the pool area all have long unobstructed views toward the mountains in adjacent Sharon, Connecticut with no visible other homes.
