Property Description
Timeless New England Estate with Pond, Barns and 11.9 Scenic Acres Discover the perfect blend of historic charm, natural beauty, and modern comfort at this exceptional 11.9-acre estate in Bethlehem. At its heart is a historic sea captain's home, originally built in Mystic and thoughtfully relocated in 1961. Rich in character and architectural details, the residence has been enhanced with modern updates, including a newer roof and mechanical systems, while preserving its timeless craftsmanship. The home features three spacious bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms, including a serene primary suite complete with a fireplace and private bath. Original paneled living and dining rooms showcase exquisite built-in cabinetry, corner hutches, wide pine flooring, original interior doors, and three working wood-burning fireplaces that create warmth and historic charm throughout. Outside, the property's breathtaking landscape offers open meadows, wooded walking trails, and professionally maintained gardens supported by a full irrigation system and two wells. A spring-fed koi pond serves as a private retreat, complete with a sandy beach, dock, and a custom-built outdoor kitchen pavilion crafted from timber harvested directly from the property. Equipped with electricity, a working sink, and a water tank, the pavilion provides an exceptional setting for outdoor entertaining. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the dedicated riding arena, while two versatile barns offer endless opportunities for livestock, equipment storage, workshops, or creative pursuits. A detached two-car garage provides additional storage and convenience. A peaceful woodland trail winds through the property to the Weekeepeemee River, offering a quiet escape where you can enjoy the beauty and serenity of nature. Whether you're seeking a private country estate, an equestrian property, a hobby farm, or a year-round residence, this one-of-a-kind offering combines historic significance, exceptional amenities, and picturesque surroundings to create an extraordinary New England lifestyle.
