Located along a quiet country lane that is perfect for horseback riding, carriage driving or walking the dog, Advent Hill Farm is tucked away from it all behind an attractive wooded buffer. Drive into the farm and delight at the open pastures and incredible setting that is completely hidden from the road. Encompassing 105 acres, the land is a mix of improved fields and woodlands with a wildlife pond to the rear, attracting deer, turkey and the occasional moose. You can traverse the entire parcel on horseback, in a horse-drawn cart or on an ATV along a well-built woods road that loops through the property. Drive in and note the horse trailer loop to the left for "no backing" parking on the way in.
Pass the barns on the way to the contemporary home built in 1986 and 1996. This home's custom design allows you to enjoy mountain views beyond the pastures from every room on the home's south side. Sited for passive solar gain, this is the perfect property to add an active solar system to. Once in place, you can add airtight woodstoves into the two fireplaces and go off the grid in these times of high energy prices! Sunshine is free and acres of firewood assure you a lifetime supply.
Already easy to heat and cool, the house offers dramatic space, oak accents and cabinets and an adaptable floor plan. The first floor is spacious with a large family room with a great stone fireplace on one end and a corner pine-panelled reading room at the opposite end. In between, enjoy the front-to-back living room that incorporates large formal dining and yet another fireplace, a fully applianced kitchen w/dining area, a slate-floored sunroom that opens to a screened porch, 2 full baths and two bedrooms. Upstairs, find a large loft area, private bedroom and bath. The home's lower level has over 1,000 s/f of finished space in 4+ rooms and another bathroom w/shower. There are laundry hookups on the main and lower levels. With a total of 4,500+ square feet of living space, there is room for family, friends and quiet-seeking home-based executives with ease.
Additional perks at the house at Advent Hill Farm include an attached 3 car garage with overhead storage, the protection of a whole house (and barn) propane-fired generator, a burglar and fire alarm system, excellent quality mechanical systems, AC and ceiling fans in most rooms and a child and pet proof fenced rear yard. All appliances including 2 washer/dryer sets are also included.
Advent Hill Farm's land is just lovely. With 105 acres, the improved areas were carefully designed for the active horse owner while preserving and enhancing the wonderful mountain views. The well-maintained pasture has been divided into 7 cedar-fenced areas to allow you to rotate your grazing to keep the perpetual "green grass" that all horse farms strive for. The driveway-side or upper pastures have electricity and a frost-free hydrant for heated waterers and easy care in the winter. A wonderful gate system keeps your horses safe and easily moved from one pasture to the next.
The Horse and Farm improvements at Advent Hill Farm The barn and outbuildings on the farm would suit a wide variety of uses. The 32' x 52' main horse barn has:

Additional tack room with room for harness & extra tack storage
Blanket storage
Walk-up access to loft over barn that easily holds over 1,000 bales of hay
