This is a unique, private 100-acre tree park on a storybook island with 1500 summer residents. - Webster Head Farm drapes across a knoll, festooned down to the sea with hundreds of choice trees and bushes chosen for their visual interest, bloom times, perfumes, and fruits. - It is a series of pastoral scenes, moulded in the subtle style of Frederick Law Olmsted: - beautifully maintained fields, an old hardwood forest, a Metasequoia grove, orchards and gardens. - Three warm spring-fed swimming ponds beckon -- one with a gazebo, pier, and float, and a tranquil island reached by wooden bridge. - Meandering paths for Jeeps, ATV's, and romantics crisscross the land with birdsong in the air and fauna at forest's edge, past a wisteria arbor, by a serene old cemetery, to a canoeing pond overseeing the ocean. - A sheltered deep-water cove on the quiet side of North Haven frames dozens of islands and the majestic Camden hills. - The beach sprawls with life at low tide, punctuated by the outflow of the long infinity pond. - Bald eagles soar and wild asian sheep shelter here. - The property has three all-season buildings, including an 1828 Cape built for the families of two sea captain brothers, with all the period detail and trimmings of a Wyeth painting. - There are various outbuildings, among them a 2,500-square-foot heated boat-building barn and garages. - For 35 years, this farm has been the province of artists, cleansing and cultivating the landscape with specimen plantings to amplify the natural beauty of the estate. - Every season is cinematic here. - It is a true refuge from the urgency of the 21st century (albeit with easy access and broadband) -- a place to drink deep of life and be restored.Property Details
