About This Home
"Orchard Hill Farm" c. 1795. A rare opportunity to own a documented piece of New England history. Offered for the first time since 1954, this two-and-a-half story Eighteenth Century Colonial was moved to this location in the early 1800s and remained in the Peckham family, prominent local farmers and legislators, for over 150 years. The classic five-bay, south-facing facade, brick center chimney, and original central entry with transom lights are hallmarks of the prosperous farmhouses of that era. Set on a full acre framed by authentic vintage stone walls, the grounds offer privacy and character that new construction cannot replicate. The home needs updating, but the bones are irreplaceable and the history is documented. For the buyer with vision, this is stewardship of a landmark not just the purchase of a house. Properties like this are few and far between.
