Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1971
As a skier working in NYC, purchased farm in 1971 for weekend and vacation use. My two boys called it home even we never lived there fulltime until retirement in 1999.
All buildings are on their original footprint with substantial improvement. The horsebarn became a guest house in 1985; the pond was excavated in 2000. The house dates to 1820, the barn to 1835 and the slate roof was applied in 1890. All of the several gardens have been mulched and put to bed for the winter; the snowblower tuned
Why the Owner Chose Weston
We converted an 1890 horsebarn with hay loft to an open first floor with powder room and concealed laundry and the second has two bedrooms with closets, a large bathroom and added hallway storage. There is a native stone patio and charcoal grill with expansive views and nearby Highland cattle. The attached garage with ski racks and an entrance within to the furnace and boot room, and then to the house.
The Unique Benefits of this House
This is a quiet and idyllic country setting with all of the conveniences of home. Several term renters ended up buying their own property.
