Blackwater Farm, Salisbury
$229,000

This very pretty 1760 center chimney colonial with attached 2-stall barn on 2+ open and fenced acres has so much to offer at a great price.  The house maintains many original details with gunstock corners, 9 over 6 windows, front and back staircases, wide pine floors and great paneling throughout.  The original keeping room features a lovely fireplace with a beautiful, deep brick hearth that now houses a woodstove.  Two large front parlors – one serving as the dining room and other the living room - both have great fireplaces with authentic paneling (the current owner uses the fireplace in the dining room.) There’s a half bath off the kitchen and a full bath upstairs shared by the 3 bedrooms.  The kitchen is compact, charming and efficient with everything within reach. It sits just off the keeping room so you can be part of the conversation while you prepare meals.  The current owner has added a wonderful 10’ x 24’ screened porch - a great spot for morning coffee or any time you want to relax and watch your horses graze or you dogs play.    

The 18’ x 26’ ell was the recent site of a veterinary clinic for several years.  It was relocated elsewhere as the practice grew. There is a separate entrance with a mud/waiting room, the first floor of the ell was used for exams and office space while the second floor was used as the lab area.  With town approvals this would be a great spot for a home based business-perfect for dog grooming, office space for the professional in the family, or to expand the living space to suit your needs.  Working from home has so many great benefits.Pass through the ell directly into the barn which has two 11’ x 12’ stalls and a shed style lean-to so your horses can come and go as they please to get out of the sun or bad weather.  There’s room to store hay, tack and supplies and water is easily accessed from the ell.  A wood/storage shed sits just off the barn making chores easy year round. The turnout is well designed with two fenced paddocks that can be opened up to a pasture that is quite level.  An outdoor arena could one day share this space.  A nice sized, picket-fenced yard just off the screened porch is a great area to keep your dogs or kids safe.  Raise laying hens, as there’s a darling chicken house with a pen to keep the hens from roaming too far. Enjoy a large, fenced garden to grow your own veggies or flowers.

Located in Salisbury a charming New England town with just over 1200 residents, it’s a peaceful setting and a manageable, small scale farmette for those who yearn for a country home but have limited time to spend managing it, that provides lots of privacy, and convenientcommute to Concord, Franklin or New London. Just 15 minutes I-93.
