We are proud to offer this extraordinary historical property comprised of two Shaker built homes dating to 1854, situated on 344 acres. In addition to the two residences are two barns and a screened gazebo. Both houses face a 40 acre + or - open field and one of the most notable hillsides that identify the region as Shaker Valley. The land continues up and over the top of the mountain with a peak of 1770 feet. Originally, the houses were used for commercial sewing purposes and the barn for dairy and farming activities. While there has been some modernization, both houses retain original details such as wide plank floors, hand hewn bannisters and spindles, peg rails, 12 over 12 and 8 over 6 windows, paneled doors, latches and hardware. A picket fence graces the front of the Main House where there is also an original mounting block. The central foyer with its classic Shaker staircase is situated between the 36' living room with a fireplace and an updated kitchen and dining area, also boasting a fireplace. There is a half bathroom on this level with a washer dryer hookup. The second floor offers three bedrooms; the primary bedroom with excellent closet space and a large, updated bathroom, a second bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and the third bedroom which is adjacent to a third full bathroom in the hallway. The third floor has been reconfigured to create an open loft overlooking the primary bedroom and a large playroom. The lower level has been updated to include a living room, dining area, kitchenette and two bedrooms. The smaller house welcomes one into a foyer with a signature Shaker staircase. The living room features a fireplace with a brick and pine paneled surround. There are 12 over 12 windows throughout the house as well as wide plank knotty pine floors measuring 7' to 15'' wide. There are three spacious bedrooms on the second floor. The primary bedroom has a wood burning fireplace and an ensuite bathroom. There is a full bathroom located in the hall. The third floor offers one bedroom, a half bath and an open space used as a family room/playroom. The original stairs and platform used to enter the horse drawn carriages remains intact. This incomparable property is located in a stunning and picturesque setting, offering total privacy and serenity.
