Fabulous Hillside Farm, Jefferson, $549,000

This remarkable hillside 24-acre farm compound, on Mariner Lane off the beautiful North Mountain Road in Jefferson, slopes to the south giving good solar exposure to buildings, pastures and orchards. The three-level floor plan of the main house lends itself to the natural flow of daily living. Among many improvements to this building are a new roof, new southern yellow pine floors, upgraded plumbing, electrical and a six-zone heating system. Close by is the three-bay garage/utility building which has a shop/tack room on the first floor and cathedral-ceiling office on the second. Just up the hill is the "cottage," currently an art studio, with recent sill and interior improvements, running hot/cold water, and a kitchenette. Uppermost on the property is the main farm building, formerly a breeder's kennel, also with hot/cold water and a second-story 24x40-foot room looking south over the grounds and buildings below. Walking/equestrian trails lead away through the woods to the north. This combination of location, terrain, and well-maintained multiple buildings can accommodate continued use as a farm, family compound, or retreat/campus.
