About This Home
Wild Trails Farm is the kind of property buyers wait years to find—312 private acres of rolling fields, woods, and sweeping southern views, with a setting that feels completely removed yet remains incredibly livable.The 5,600+ sq ft lodge strikes an ideal balance between scale and comfort. Designed for everyday living, it features a welcoming kitchen with dual dining areas, multiple spaces to gather or spread out, and six bedrooms with 4.5 baths to accommodate family and guests with ease. Solar and geothermal systems provide efficiency without sacrificing comfort, while the sauna adds a touch of everyday luxury. The two-car garage is currently used as a yoga studio but can be easily converted back. A screened porch and stone patio make it easy to enjoy the landscape in every season.What truly sets this property apart is everything beyond the main home. The land itself is a defining asset—312 acres of privacy and possibility. Miles of private trails begin at your door, ideal for hiking, biking, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing. Wander through curated gardens, pick fruit in season, or spend quiet afternoons by the ponds.The additional buildings offer flexibility without feeling overwhelming: a beautifully restored circa-1800s barn with a two-bedroom apartment, a charming one-bedroom post-and-beam residence, a stable, equipment barn, greenhouse, and more. There is also a separate off-grid cabin and a treehouse tucked into the woods—simple, peaceful spaces to unplug and retreat.This is a property that works on multiple levels: a private estate, a multigenerational compound, or an income-producing retreat. The infrastructure is in place, the land is exceptional, and the setting is increasingly hard to replicate.Opportunities like this are rare. There is also the option to expand with additional acreage for those seeking even greater privacy and long-term value.
