Property Description

On Stanchfield Ridge Rd, 96 acres of working land, fields, orchard, water, and woods, carrying a history of production and resource abundance built up over time. Through the 1900s this was the Larson dairy farm, a well-regarded producer in its day, and the infrastructure that fueled it is still standing and sound.Three hayfields of roughly four acres each remain in active production. A mature apple orchard of about thirty trees anchors the growing ground, interplanted with high and low bush blueberries, grape vines nearby, and established herbal and medicinal beds worked into the surrounding plantings. Beyond the cleared land, mixed hardwood and softwood forest covers the balance, laced with old stone walls. The land feeds you beyond what you plant: fiddleheads in spring, edible mushrooms, and abundant game throughout. A year-round brook runs through the property, fishable in season. The farmhouse, roughly 1,700 sqft in total, connects by woodshed breezeway to the two-story dairy barn, concrete first floor with the original cattle stanchions in place and a wide-open timber-framed hay loft above offering substantial unobstructed space. Set apart, a large timber-framed utility barn has multiple rooms already framed in with lean-to storage along one side. Nearer the road, a single-car garage-style outbuilding and a chicken coop at the orchard's edge and sugar shack near the woodline round out the working buildings.A stone and gravel road winds back through the property, reaching all three fields and the brook, and serving as natural starting points for new trailheads. From the land, you can connect directly to the statewide trail networks.Everything a self-sufficient life asks for is already here: food, water, fuel, pasture, and buildings with room to grow into. Watch the video and imagine a homestead, a farmstay, an events or lodging venture, or a recreation property built around trails and the brook. The groundwork has been laid and is waiting.
