As you drive up Old College Road, under a canopy of 150 year old maples reaching over beautifully crafted stone walls, you are guided to one of the most beautiful and stunning locations in New England. The Joseph Philbrick Homestead appears in the distance, first showing the side of her exquisite 100' c1800 3 story barn, then to reveal the ell and 3 story, c1781 Center Chimney Colonial grandly commanding her spot at the Corner of Old College Road and Maple Street. Once a town center, where now 3 equally beautiful Antique homes create this peaceful setting. All surrounded by 2000 acres of Conserved land. Truly one of the most exquisite examples of old world craftsmanship blended with modern day function and comfort, this 6BR, 4BA home is sited on over 200 acres of magnificent fields, stone walls, stunning maples, gorgeous gardens, wide forest walking trails. With beamed ceilings, stunning pumpkin pine paneled walls, wide pine floors, and gunstock corners, 5 fireplaces including the main hearth in the living room that commands all to gather on snowy winter days. Or sit in the Tavern Room for a more intimate place to read or rest. A Gourmet Kitchen allows for many chefs and there is a first floor Main Bedroom Suite. A state of the art geo thermal heating/cooling system, excellent internet for full home office function, all add to the comfort and peaceful living that this home offers. 600' of pristine and very private waterfront on Highland Lake is an added bonus.
