Perched atop a scenic ridge, this well-appointed contemporary farmhouse has far-ranging mountain views across open cornfields and pastoral countryside. Three signature dormers define the home’s charming character, while a truly private rural setting offers the tranquility of country living — all just minutes from town.

The Home

The 1930 property is thoughtfully laid out across two floors, with warm wood flooring, trim and doors throughout the main living areas and a cohesive, understated palette that lends every room a calm, contemporary feel.

While there is a lovely front door with inside 3-season vestibule, most folks will come through the side door into a convenient mudroom, which connects seamlessly from an oversized two-car garage — insulated, tongue-and-groove paneled, finished with a clean concrete floor and outfitted with an automatic opener. The mudroom itself serves as a well-organized transition space, complete with a half bath, laundry, a folding shelf, and additional storage closets. A comfortable guest bedroom with ceiling fan and recessed lighting sits just off this wing.

The heart of the home is a wonderful open great room where living and kitchen flow naturally together. A glass slider opens directly onto a large wood deck — the ideal vantage point for taking in the view of the pond, barn, and surrounding landscape. The kitchen features solid Wood Mode cabinetry in a rich, dark finish, a five-burner gas range, wall oven, wall microwave, and a full suite of black appliances including a dual-door refrigerator and undermount sink. A standout feature is the Avalon wood-burning stove, housed in a striking floor-to-ceiling brick surround that anchors the space with warmth and character — equal parts functional heat source and architectural centerpiece.

The primary bedroom on the main floor is generously proportioned, offering three large windows, two sizable closets, a carpeted sleeping area, and a hardwood-floored office alcove. The adjacent full bathroom — accessible from both the primary bedroom and the hallway — includes a jetted soaking tub, standing shower, and single vanity. A flexible front room, currently configured as a secondary bedroom, could also serve beautifully as a family room or formal sitting area.

A gracious entrance hall with a handsome wood banister connects the main living areas and opens that welcoming front door vestibule. The formal dining room is a composed, quiet space with all-wood floors and two well-placed windows, connected to the kitchen by a classic double-hinged swinging door.

Upstairs, beneath the dormers, are three additional rooms served by a full central bath with tub, vanity, and toilet. The largest primary bedroom on this floor includes a walk-in closet and could equally serve as a home office suite.

Heating

The home features a versatile dual-fuel hydronic heating system designed for both comfort and energy efficiency. Two furnaces — one fueled by oil and the other by wood — work seamlessly together to heat water that circulates throughout the house for consistent, radiant warmth. When the wood furnace is in use, it efficiently supplies heat without drawing on oil, yet the oil system automatically takes over as needed to maintain steady temperatures.

This system not only provides reliable, whole-home heat but also supports domestic hot water production. Homeowners have the flexibility of using renewable wood heat, efficient oil backup, or a separate dedicated electric water heater — ensuring year-round comfort and control while moderating fuel costs.

The Land & Outbuildings

Outside is nothing short of exceptional. Start with 30+ acres. Add a large central metal barn with a poured concrete floor, full electricity, and roll-up doors at both ends and you have excellent utility for equipment, animals, or storage. A complete set of chicken coops, duck coops, and associated sheds complement the micro-farm aspect of this setting. An above-ground pool with surrounding deck adds recreational appeal, and a quarter-acre pond nestled in the lower acreage frames the view beautifully from the main living areas.

The yard itself is an inviting, lived-in space — a large deck with angled slat boards and built-in flower planters, a charming children’s play cottage, a small swing set, and a kitchen garden round out the picture.

A Property Apart

Whether you’re drawn to the quality of the construction, the warmth of the interiors, the versatility of the land, or simply the view — this is a property that rewards a closer look. Homes of this character and setting are genuinely rare.
