This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to create and customize a country compound in the Borough Village of Northfield on 9.89 acres of level pasture with wooded border and pond. It is surrounded by well-cared-for historic homes and a short walk to the heart of the village of Northfield, which was established in the late 1700s and originally known as "Meetinghouse Hill". This special property was a registered dairy farm through the late 17th and 18th centuries, and it has been part of the same family for four generations. Enter the circular driveway over a pastoral field. The large hand-hewn chestnut post-and-beam Old English dairy barn is the helm of the five structures. Four of the five structures have metal roofs, two with standing seams. The main house roof was replaced in 2023. An 18 ft deep clear water pond is situated behind the one- bedroom dwelling. This 2 story guesthouse/accessory building has a kitchen, living room overlooking the field, and private deck. The main house, at the top of the driveway, requires total renovation. Rarely does such a property become available, offering so many desirable features: flat open land surrounded by the privacy of a wooded border, significant frontage with two driveway entrances, and a fishing pond- all in a walkable and beautiful historic village setting. RR zoning with many permitted and special exceptions uses. See RR Zoning doc in supplements. The listing refers to the bedrooms in the main house only. The one-bedroom, two-story accessory dwelling can be accessed upon second viewing. Each residence has its own septic system with 1000 and 750-gallon concrete tanks. There is a fire hydrant pipe from the pond for village use. The main house flooring is likely chestnut wood under the linoleum. The electrical service was upgraded not long ago. There is a new burner on the main house furnace. The roof of the main house was replaced in 2023.
