About this property

Private Historic Retreat • Waterfall • Gardens

The first thing you’ll notice is the soothing sound of cascading water. Originally built in 1830 as part of a mill dating to 1766, this beautifully restored home offers a rare blend of history and tranquility. The waterfall and a long gone waterwheel once powered the milling of lumber used to build the surrounding town.

Set on a quiet side street in a charming historic town center, the home is surrounded by lush, private gardens and scenic views in every direction—waterfall, barns, flowers, hills, and woods. Inside, an open floor plan provides light-filled, comfortable living with a refined yet relaxed feel.

Walk to the General Store, nature trails, recreation area, and local historic sites. Spend your days unwinding to the sound of the falls, or stroll through the vegetable and herb garden, picking fresh ingredients— for your next meal.

This is a peaceful, restorative retreat just 2.5 hours from NYC, perfect for those seeking quiet, beauty, and a slower pace.

Please note: The waterfall and stream areas are not accessible for safety reasons.
