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!!
