Property Description
The farm at Church Hill has been a homestead since the late 1700s. The present pointed field stone bank house with the most wonderful views was built in 1840. It was an operating winery for several years ending in 2006 and while the grapes are gone, the land and zoning would welcome many types of small farming operations. The home is warm and welcoming. A delightful double parlor has 18" deep windowsills, wide plank random width floors and opens to a splendid second story covered porch from which you can enjoy magnificent scenery out over the property and across the valley. There is a large informal living area with stone fireplace and access to a unique full bathroom with private W/C and large jetted tub (this could be a first floor master suite). On the second floor there are two private sleeping areas with a shared bathroom including a steam shower. The attic floor is finished with a pressed metal ceiling offering another bedroom option or additional storage. The kitchen, dining-room, family room with fireplace and main bedroom and bath are all on the lower level which can be accessed by the main stairway, an antique spiral stair and also from the beautifully landscaped yard and gardens. The charm of this property has to be seen to be appreciated with its stone spring house, ponds and in-ground saltwater pool. Using re-purposed materials where possible and top quality new products to compliment the character of the home, the renovations are extensive. The roofs are all of masonry tile, the gutters and downspouts are copper and the floors on the lower level are of Pennsylvania Blue Stone. The barn has been completely renovated with new exterior siding, roof, water and electric. Of the 40 acres 8+ are tillable and 28+ are pristine woodland, subject to a Conservation Easement, offering delightful hiking trails. The entire property is enrolled in Act 319 with two separate covenants.
