Property Description

One of Nottingham's cherished old farmsteads, this antique cape with barn has not been for sale for 50 years. Now it will welcome a new family. Come see the beautiful open land connected to a forested area that includes more than 400 feet of frontage on the North River and a conservation easement on part of the land. Garland Road is home to many species of wild life including deer, bear, coyotes, fisher cats. Birds, amphibians, insects. The spring peepers in the nearby beaver impoundment sing their hearts out of a May evening. Between the beaver pond on the south side of Garland and the North River on the north, many human residents feel honored to share their world with all of nature, including some endangered species of turtles. The house speaks of the history of the area. Built in 1835, there used to be industry on the premises, crops and domestic animals in the field. The house still sports many original features and has a modern addition on one side. The barn can accommodate two or three cars on the main level with still room to have a workshop. A horse once bedded down in the lower level and many life treasures were stored in the upstairs. The house preserves antiquity in the old section while the new addition now 40 years old, admits almost all of the sun a day can hold. The great room will brighten your winter. There are two decks for outside dining, visiting, bird watching. And a walk out basement with patio for your barbeque events. The current owners have spent many a cherished year on this property, loving every minute of it; they hope that you will feel that ambience and settle into and add to the warm vibes of this wonderfully special place.
