Literally: “Sure Find Farm” is the name of this 18.1-acre estate set amidst rolling hills and conservation land.
Great room
The property consists of a stone farmhouse, barn, silo and springhouse, all dating to 1800. Surrounding them are three large paddocks with access to a stream. The barn, with its six stalls, tack room, wash stall and feed area, is well equipped to take care of your horses, but we will focus on the spaces built to take care of you.
Family room
Those consist of a family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a dining room with a beamed ceiling and wood stove in its fireplace, a great room with a decorative fireplace that spans one side of the house, and an up-to-date kitchen.
Kitchen
That kitchen also has a beamed ceiling along with Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, Ceasarstone countertops, a farmhouse sink and a large island.
Side terrace off kitchen
French doors lead from it to an outdoor terrace where you can dine when the weather’s right.
Dining room
The dining room sits on the other side of the kitchen, and it too has French doors that lead to an outdoor terrace.
Master bedroom

The hall bath shared by the other two bedrooms has likewise been updated.
With the Laurels Preserve and conservation land surrounding your farm, you won’t have to worry about creeping development wrecking this farm’s rural tranquility.
