About this home
Step back in time without sacrificing modern comforts in this rare, historic brick farmhouse estate, originally built in the 1760s by early settler Sarah Tobias Newcomb. Rich in Revolutionary War-era history, this extraordinary property tells a story few homes can: Sarah famously sent cheese from her dairy to George Washington's encampment nearby. Over the years, the home has flown both British and American flags, bearing witness to centuries of change. Set on approximately 18 serene acres with subdivision potential for three 3.5-acre lots, the estate includes a beautifully restored 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom residence. Carefully updated to preserve its character, the home features original wide-plank hardwood floors, massive Dutch doors with original hardware, six corner Rumford fireplaces, designer lighting, crown molding, and a fully renovated chef’s kitchen with an eat-in area. Enjoy formal and casual living spaces, including a dining room, living room, and family room. Modern upgrades include new central air, central vacuum, and oil heating with an above-ground tank. Additional amenities include a soaking tub, stall shower, and dedicated dressing area. Property taxes have been lowered for the 2025 tax season, offering immediate financial relief—and there is further potential for tax breaks should the new owner choose to start a small farm operation. Outdoors, unwind on the 50-foot veranda overlooking a tranquil pond and rolling pastures. A charming tiny house by a seasonal brook offers extra retreat space, while two large barns serve various purposes—one equipped with horse stalls and a commercial woodworking shop, the other perfect for additional stabling or storage. An outdoor cabana adds another space for relaxation or entertaining. This estate is being sold as-is by motivated sellers who have poured love and care into its restoration. Whether you're an equestrian, a history enthusiast, or a visionary investor, this property offers endless potential—from farming (which may bring additional tax benefits) to development or simply enjoying the luxury of rural elegance.
