Our 1830’s farmhouse is situated on 50 acres of open fields, wild apple trees and maple sugar orchard. The home has three bedrooms, one and one-half bathrooms, galley kitchen with pantry, dining room and living room.

In addition, there are lovely walking trails in the fields and forest surrounding the farmhouse.
