Step back in time with this extraordinary 222 year old legacy estate - a treasure owned by the same family for more than two centuries. This remarkable property is a rare blend of grandeur and natural beauty along with historical significance. Once part of the Underground Railroad, the property has a fascinating past, and some of its former residents served as Civil War soldiers. The house was also used as the setting for the movie American Gun starring James Coburn with several scenes filmed inside the home. Imagine owning a home that is not only part of local history, but also part of cinematic history. Built in 1804, the magnificent 4/5 bedroom main home has been remarkably preserved - offering timeless architectural details, original craftsmanship, a grand entrance, soaring 11-foot ceilings, 7 gorgeous fireplaces, and two 40' covered porches. Rarely does a home of this vintage come to market in such great condition. The property has been professionally inspected by a licensed real estate inspector, with inspection reports available for review. Complementing the main residence is a renovated 2/3 bedroom guest house or ADU offering an exceptional income opportunity. Rental income easily covers the property taxes for the entire property and more! The guest house is situated a distance away affording privacy to all residents. Set on 79 acres with subdivision potential, the property offers room for farming, recreation, or future development. A gorgeous barn features horse stalls upstairs and a cow area downstairs, along with several additional barns and outbuildings providing flexibility for agricultural, equestrian, or business uses. With its remarkable architecture, extensive acreage, guest house, barns, & fascinating past, this could make an exceptional wedding venue, bed & breakfast, working farm, or family compound. It is extraordinarily rare to find a home of this vintage with so much character in such great condition! Quotes available for heat/ac upgrades.
