Nicely located between two expanses of the Weymouth Woods State Park, on 9.42 acres, this lovely farm has lots to offer: a friendly equestrian neighborhood, proximity to town, miles of walking and riding trails, and a setting for horses with 4 large inter-connected paddocks on half the acreage. Additions in 2009 to both ends of the original home, created a master bedroom wing with a luxurious bath, and a family room / kitchen wing, both featuring dramatic ceiling height. A Carolina room addition with copper roofing across the original interior rooms, opens to a beautifully designed walled terrace and courtyard with fountain and outdoor fireplace. The Carolina room adds sunlight to the interior spaces creating light filled rooms throughout the home. Family pickle ball games are enjoyed on the nearby court (tennis and basketball too). Landscape lighting around the house brings the natural setting inside. The horses are well served by a 3-stall paneled barn, featuring wash stall, tack room, ground level hay storage, a large farm workshop, and separate 2 stall turnout shed located between two paddocks with a feed room (hot and cold water) and fans in the stalls. Previous owners used the separate turnout as a boarding opportunity. In 2015 a game room bracketed by balconies was added above the barn - great for extra office space, ping pong or a pool room. The residence kitchen features a large island, double ovens, 5 burner Wolf cooktop, Sub-Zero refrigerators in kitchen and laundry room, new Bosch dishwasher and the owner's favorite kitchen window. The larger breakfast room window overlooks the back pastures and invites both bird and horse watching. Wet bar in the living room has a hammered brass sink, cherry cabinets, granite counter tops and wine cooler. The farm is a short hack to the 4,000+ acre Walthour Moss Equestrian Foundation.
