Property Description

This property combines a beautifully renovated circa 1860s farmhouse with productive agricultural ground, established orchard and chestnut plantings, multiple outbuildings, wildlife habitat, and breathtaking countryside views. Located at the very top of Conrad Hill, the property enjoys an exceptionally peaceful setting with sweeping views across the surrounding valleys. Kitchen features beautiful hand-hewn beams and raised ceilings creating a warm and inviting gathering space, along with two convenient walk-in pantries. The home offers four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, plus a small bonus room off the first-floor primary bedroom that could serve as an office, dressing room, or additional storage space. Updates to the heating, plumbing, and electrical systems. Approximately 19 acres are enclosed by an eight-foot-high woven-wire fence with locust posts creating a secure area for livestock and orchard production. Within this enclosure are more than 450 established apple trees representing approximately 20 varieties, including both cider and dessert apples. Hay-producing pasture within the fenced area, and the current owners have been practicing silvopasture with sheep, incorporating livestock grazing into the management of the property. Approximately two acres of established chestnut plantings, with more than 200 chestnut trees planted beginning in 2019. Considerable time, effort, and dedication have gone into establishing and maintaining these plantings, giving the next owner an opportunity to pick up where the current owners have left off rather than starting an agricultural planting project from the ground up. Beautiful mid-1800s post-and-beam dairy barn has been meticulously maintained and includes existing livestock stalls, a hay loft with substantial hay-storage capacity, and ample space for farm equipment and additional storage. The other farm buildings provide even more room for equipment storage, farm supplies, and livestock housing making this a particularly functional setup for someone looking to continue or expand a small agricultural operation.
