19 Emmons Farm $3,700,000

First time offered in generations! The same family has owned the greater share of lands at this estate property since before 1835! Emmons Farms namesake Asa Emmons arrived in the early 1800's and the clearing for the future farm began! The first Public House tavern was built on this site in 1840, then the original schoolhouse in 1850. The home of Kendrick Morgan built in 1906 still stands, now a six family luxury apartment, as does Carriage House, a stately now 4-family, complete with magnificent exposed beam ceilings and original weathervane. Granary is now a charming Duplex right next door, and just up the road is Greenhouse, converted to a lovely 3 bedroom 2 bath, complete w/ vaulted ceiling, skylight, and newer slider to stone patio. Former manure house is now a chic 3-story, 2-bedroom cottage home known as Cellar, and Feedhouse is now a cozy 1-bedroom, 1-bath cottage with deck overlooking the expansive 271 acre backyard! Wind 600 feet up and over the private Emmons Farms Road and you are greeted by the jewel of the Emmons Farms properties! Built by Amanda Morgan for her twice widowed daughter, the stone 10 bedroom, 6+1/2 bath edifice is a walk back in time! The garden entrance with stone walls greet you from the parking circle, and is just the beginning of understated elegance. Formal entry, parlor with bath, music and sunken living rooms complete with stone fireplaces sweep you back in time! The screened room with slate floor off the living room has inviting views of the 22'x55' inground pool. The formal dining room features a wet bar closet and door out to a spacious patio, which features terraced views down to the pool and up to the hillside south. Inside, the kitchen will take you back in time! Original 6-burner caste iron and ceramic gas stove with warmer is right out of the 1930's, as is the original refrigerated icebox, which is still in use, along with the copper accessory sink in the butler's pantry, & massive ceramic sink w/ built-in dish drain! Modern refrigerator & built-in dishwasher compliment the use of older appliances. The 1st floor offers a bedroom, full bath, and office/bedroom off the back entry, along with generous laundry and storage / mudroom via parking circle entry.
