This is one of those rare opportunities to buy a farm along the Clarence Road. It’s situated about 7 minutes from Bridgetown at the base of the North Mountain, with total southern exposure. The property includes approximately 100 acres with land on both sides of the road. The land on the north side runs up the mountain and offers excellent slope and exposure for certain crops. This 40 acres is definitely a consideration for vineyard. The 60 acres on the south side lies on the valley floor and ideal for a wide range of crops. This farm is perfect for horses with pasture, hay land, hills and access to miles of local trails.

The house is big and dates back to the mid 1800s. It sits on a solid stone foundation and overall is quite original. It has Georgian roots that incorporates an addition to the rear in 1904. The main floor has two kitchen areas, a pantry, diningroom with fireplace, foyer, parlour, livingroom with fireplace and a large family room. Upstairs are 7 bedrooms and a bathroom area. Most of the interior trims and details are original including wide board floors, period hardware, window and door trims and 6 over 6 windows. The owners added a huge front gable last year and reshingled the entire roof. The house will require upgrades including a new bathroom, painting, floor refinishing, decorating and other improvements. There is a wood/oil combination heating system and a drilled well.

Outbuildings include a workshop, 2 sheds and a huge post and beam barn. The barn is in poor condition but there is an amazing timber frame which can be reused, lots of heavy planking and huge square stones used for the foundation. A brook flows along the east side of the farm and the North Mountain back-drop provides endless views.
