Step into a piece of history and embrace the endless possibilities of Wild Acres, a former dairy farm set on almost 10 breathtaking acres-a rare find just one block from Main Street. This remarkable property is a dream come true for those who envision homesteading, keeping horses, farming, or simply relishing the peaceful beauty of wide-open land. With expansive cleared fields, charming passed down gardens, and timeless rural appeal, Wild Acres is a sanctuary offering peace and tranquility while remaining close to local conveniences. Built in 1745, this historic home is filled with character and charm, featuring wide-plank hardwood floors and a warmth only time can create.

This home has been cherished for generations and is ready for its next chapter. With a few personal touches and updates, you can enhance its historic charm while making it truly your own. The land is the true highlight-from expansive open fields to gardens bursting with narcissus, it's a setting that inspires. Additional features include a three-car detached garage, a three-bay lean-to, and versatile outbuildings. Rarely does a property like Wild Acres come along-history, beauty, and boundless potential all in one place.
