It’s generally difficult to find a pristine farm property minutes from town. Most are located further out in the rural countryside. So, this beauty will really appeal to you, if you are looking for a farmstead with good land, barns and a character home, within 3 minutes to Berwick. It’s nicely located on a paved side road with easy access to Highway 101. The property has extensive frontage lined with over 30 - 150 year old maple trees. It’s an impressive sight. The two story farmhouse was built in the mid 1850s and has been well maintained and upgraded. It sits back off the road and has a paved circular driveway with parking surrounded by expansive lawn.

You’ll like the layout. The side entry off the parking area opens to a very spacious mudroom. Adjacent is a full bath. Next is the kitchen. It was completely remodeled 3 years ago and what a terrific job. It’s spacious with lots of cabinet, high ceilings covered with wood, wood floor and sunny. And, it’s large enough to accommodate a big kitchen table. The backstairs going up are off in one corner. Up here at the top is a 4th bedroom which would also make a wonderful studio. Off the kitchen is a huge combined diningroom/family room. It’s 29 feet long and almost 14 feet wide. It’s cozy with lots of windows, wood floor and an efficient woodstove. In the front part of the home is a small foyer which opens to the stair hall, the livingroom with french doors, and the family room. This main floor plan is quite open with a great flow. Upstairs, there is a small hall with built-in bookshelves. There’s a large 4 piece bath, master bedroom and 2 other good-sized bedrooms.

The house sits on a solid stone foundation with inside and outside access. There’s an excellent drilled well and septic system, upgraded electrical, oil and wood furnaces. The house is completely insulated and most windows have been replaced. The exterior is in great repair and the roof shingles were replaced a few years ago. This home has lots of character with hardwood floors down, softwood floors up, wide moldings, great trim details and nice paint colours throughout.

Behind the house is a small horse barn, 20 x 28, with two box stalls, a tack-up area, 3 straight stalls and a huge loft. Adjacent the paved driveway is a 58 x 28 garage/workshop. With its combination of buildings and excellent land, this property is ideal for horses, various agricultural enterprises and has a supreme location for a home-based business. There’s also a 40 x 60 pond about 12 feet deep. This is a very nice farm and I give it “two thumbs up”. In the weeks and years to come, there will be few opportunities, if any, to find a property like this one, especially at such a reasonable price.
