Welcome to the Thomas Gilbert Homestead, a bucolic 4.84 acre New England country estate offering a landmark 1770 Antique home with breathtaking views of the expansive lawn, dual ponds and meadow. Renovated and elegantly expanded, this 13 room home has impeccable style, artistry and warmth, balancing today's needs with its historic character. Eight foot ceilings, wide plank floors, 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 5 original fireplaces, chef's kitchen with commercial grade appliances, wine cooler, butler's pantry, dark room and a lower level walk-out exercise room. The magnificent 1,800 square foot English Bank barn (also circa 1770) was once a dairy barn. The upper level now serves as a wonderful space for entertaining, while the lower level with hayloft has four horse stalls that open to a fenced paddock, making this an ideal equestrian property for riding in the nearby 50+ acre Paine Open Space. Multiple stone walls, old growth trees, two stone terraces and beautiful perennial gardens complete this extraordinary tapestry of natural, preserved beauty and tranquility. Located just minutes from all essential shopping and conveniences with easy access to all major transportation routes and only 65 miles from Manhattan.
