Farm or lake living? Here you don't have to choose. The farmhouse was built by Elijah Tuttle, circa 1810, using wood milled on the property. The house was built for family life with large open living spaces. The first floor has a warm cozy kitchen with a wood stove, a living room with a wood stove, a dining room, and a full bath. Antique character includes exposed beams, original wide pine floors, old doors with thumb latch hardware, and a front and back staircase. Upstairs has three good-sized bedrooms, a full bath, and an office/nursery. The back of the house has a big porch and large granite millstones in the ground that make a perfect fire pit. There is a two-stall barn with power, water, and a hayloft for the animals. Another shed for storage, and you're ready for farming. Mature apple trees, high-producing maple trees, Concord grapes, blackberry, raspberry bushes, and a historic Weeping Cherry tree from Virginia will keep the root cellar full. Deeded rights to Bow Lake, a quick walk to the town beach and proximity to a network of snowmobile trails are perfect for summer and winter activities. This house has a minimalist simplicity and is essentially a blank canvas for your family farm dreams. Showing Begin Saturday April 30th 10-1pm with a second open house Sunday May 1st 11-2pm
