Home For Sale

Elegant and historical- one of the original Metamora farmhouses in Hunt country steeped in history with pristine property. Beautifully manicured pastures, calm pond with frequent geese and deer, black 3-board oak fencing with pastures, cascading hills, meadows, plus 30 acres of forest to trail ride for miles - the epitome of a gentleman's horse farm. A favorite country road brings you to a circle drive with professional landscaping and stamped concrete walkways and patios. Two historic barns have been restored with Hardy board, but kept the character of the era with 4 stalls, tack room, feed bin, hydrant and workshop. The loft has a *drop the bales* adaptation but still has a cow feeder! A 2nd barn is half run-in connecting to one of many pastures and the other half a cement storage area for carriages with a hydrant. This lovely home was expanded in the 1970's but redesigned by the current owners - beautifully updated but casual in its comforts. The home was also restored with Hardy board and more recently the roof, Andersen windows and doors were replaced. The first floor has hard wood, with a large foyer leading to a parlor, bedroom suite, library, dining room, huge living room with a massive granite fireplace, functional kitchen with SubZero refrigerator and a cozy breakfast nook. A charming 3 season sun room was added with vaulted ceiling, brick floor and wonderful views of the property; a laundry room, full bath and 3-car garage complete this level. The 2nd floor features a 900 sq ft primary suite with dressing room, walk in and wall closets, bathroom with double shower, soaking tub and all in marble. Three more generous-sized bedrooms, one Jack and Jill, and a full bath complete this floor. The home is generator ready, propane heat with two furnaces and a/c but natural gas is available at the road. Truly a remarkable property in an area where the clip-clop of horses is common and carriages tour the countryside! Make this wonderful retreat your paradise!
