Steeped in history this extraordinary antique estate presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a remarkable piece of local heritage. Built circa 1694 and lovingly passed down through generations of the Holbrook family, this treasured property has never been offered for sale. Carefully preserved over the centuries, the residence retains much of its original character, including authentic paneling, exposed beams, plank flooring and countless period details that reflect its rich history and craftsmanship. Adding to the property's unique appeal is an extraordinary 3 story barn constructed prior to 1870 with approximately 12,000 square feet of space! This property is being offered as one complete package, including the historic home, barn and 22 acres. In addition to the main estate the acreage will include 4 buildable lots all with street frontage creating exceptional investment and development opportunities, or maintained as a private compound. Rarely does a property of this historical significance, scale and potential become available!!
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025).

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
