This is a unique property that will inspire the outdoor enthusiast! Over built by an engineer, much of the house was inspired by early American building. There is a total of 6 beautiful granite fireplaces inspired by 19th century architecture. The main house has 5 beds and 3 full and 2 half baths. This includes an accessory apartment. There are multiple decks on both levels of the house which offer views of the mountains and down the valley. The 16-acre property has been partially cleared and there are several out buildings. One houses a wood burning out door boiler/furnace that heats the house efficiently. There is also an oil boiler in the basement that can be used instead or for back up. One building is a workshop, another a shed as well as a 3-car detached garage with a second floor for possible expansion. Much of the land is forest which can be cleared if you so desire. There are some paths through the woods that lead to a waterfall on Gunn Brook which runs through the north end of the property. The Housatonic River is close by for fishing, canoeing and kayaking. Mohawk Mountain ski area is 5 minutes away and Berkshire Mountain skiing less than an hour. For hikers there is the Appalachian Trail close by as well as Mohawk Mountain State Park. Litchfield County is an area known for art & culture with art galleries, local theatre, great restaurants, unique boutiques as well as many antique shops. Under 2 hrs by car to NYC. Trains close by!
