Unique features: This 200-year-old stone farmhouse nestled in the heavily wooded Western Run Valley is the center of this 29-acre estate, which also includes everything the new owners will need to enjoy an equestrian lifestyle, except for the actual horses.
The heart of the 1821 farmhouse is the old “keeping room,” or multipurpose room, with wood ceiling beams and a massive stone fireplace — one of five in the estate. Some rooms have original stone floors. There’s a sun room and a wine cellar, along with such modern amenities as high-speed internet and heated floors in the primary suite bathroom.
This original stone bank barn has been converted into a party venue, while a two-story guesthouse is divided between living quarters and a full gym.
Avid riders will find stables with oversize stalls, a second working barn with a tack room, feed room, grooming facility and indoor exercise/show arena. There are fenced-in paddocks and a third farmhouse that has been renovated as living quarters for on-site employees.
Other buildings on the vast, 20-acre property include a working spring house and chicken coop, a rebuilt smoke house and a tractor/machine shed with a built-in workshop.
The property includes a tennis court and an in-ground swimming pool for leisure-time workouts, as well as numerous patios and covered porches, ideal for outdoor dining and taking in views of the landscape gardens, which provide a haven for butterflies and bald eagles.
