Property Description

Few properties stop you in your tracks...get ready, because this one will. Set on 5.3 breathtaking acres in Danville's historic district, the grounds of this extraordinary property are nothing short of spectacular. Stunning perennial flower gardens, waterfall, walking paths, fruit trees, berry bushes, extremely large raised vegetable garden, a small orchard, and multiple gazebos create a private outdoor oasis unlike anything you've seen. An enormous koi pond with a charming walking bridge serves as the centerpiece of the landscape, while a screened gazebo tucked inside the fenced backyard offers another peaceful retreat. At the heart of the property is the historic Ephraim Barber House, originally built in 1735 in Marlborough, MA, then carefully dismantled, relocated, and painstakingly reconstructed on a new foundation in Danville in 1985. This remarkable post-and-beam antique showcases wooden pegs, purlins, gunstocks, wind braces, exposed brick, wide pine floors, a beehive oven, deacon's closet, butterfly staircase, hand-painted murals, and 3 fireplaces bursting with historic New England charm and craftsmanship. While rich in history, the home offers today's conveniences including updated kitchen and baths, stainless steel appliances, central air, 200 AMP service, generator hookup, water softener, radon mitigation system, modern plumbing and electrical, a fresh interior and exterior paint throughout the home and outbuildings, and a brand new roof. Additional features include a detached 2-car garage with enormous heated workshop above and, attached shed and custom chicken coop, plus a newer 3-stall carriage barn with electricity. The rear 2 acres may offer subdivision potential while still maintaining the beauty and privacy of the main home and grounds. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a true piece of history.
