Nestled on 4.5 picturesque acres, this idyllic country estate is a unique blend of natural beauty and refined craftsmanship. The property features a 1.1-acre natural Baldwin Dudley Pond, perfect for fishing and kayaking, with a dock plan framed by twin weeping willows at the spillway. A stunning custom masonry entrance with stone pillars leads into the driveway, which boasts 1.2 miles of walking paths winding through meticulously landscaped grounds. The estate includes a potential carriage or barn building lot, as well as 100 feet of decorative boulder retaining walls that and sweeping views of the Guilford Hills. Elegant crossbuck fencing, lamp posts, Belgium block edges, green giant trees, sea grasses, and hemlocks add to the charm. A stone veneer bridge over a free-flowing stream greets visitors at the entry, and granite hitching posts enhance the western side of the property. This exceptional property is ready for immediate development, with B100 surveys, wetlands approval, and building permits prepared for final approval. The existing home has been stripped to the studs, has a solid foundation with a new roof, operational well, temporary power, and intact windows. Upgrades are needed for the septic and heating systems. Plans for a stunning 3,700 sq. ft. home with a three-bay garage are available, featuring four bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace, an open dormer with a slider balcony, and a first-floor suite w/pond view.
