Newly Renovated Historic Farmhouse on a quiet Country Lane

You will be staying in the orginal 1820's farm house on our farm. We own both sides of the road, 103 acres to be exact. On our quiet country road you are surrounded by nature. You will have a private yard all to yourself with views of the meadow beyond. The spring house is nestled into the bank on the left side of the house. This was the orginal water source for the farm and where the food and milk was kept cold in the warm months. Its about 50 degrees in there on a hot day. We have a modern well hooked up to the farmhouse, but the spring house water is still crisp and refreshing.

Across the road is the orginal horse barn, we are in the process of restoration. The roof caved in last winter and we have restructured, re-roofed and resided. Just working on windows now. One day we hope to use this as our farm store,

You are welcome to explore the property, but call us first, we can guide you on a interesting adventure. Bill Cell :9736707549. My husband Bill is an accomplished bow and shotgun hunter. He is at one with the forest and the deepest kind of preservationist. You can't help but like him.

Intersting facts:
We were a bootlegging farm in the roaring 20s!

One of the farm's earlier owner's Wilhelmus Hotalen, was the County Surveyor during the Civil War. Digging deeper, I found, There was an enslaved man connected to the property when Wilhelmus purchased the farm in 1855. When he purchased the property he paid and extra amount to give the man his freedom.

Our farm did not get electricity until 1942, delayed by WW2. Before then the outhouse was the only source of relief, we now have 2.5 bath for you to use in the house.

The small building in the backyard closest to the house is the smoke house. Because they did not have refrigeration, meat was smoked to preserve it. It was the hung by string from the basement beams. We still have the remnants of the strings today.
