Once part of the 300-acre Cogswell Estate and family-owned from the 1630s through the 1930s, this exceptional home embodies the timeless beauty and character of a bygone era. Originally built as a hunting lodge, the home retains an impressive collection of historic details, including original antique floorboards, an oversized brick fireplace, magnificent post-and-beam construction, and beautiful barn-wood doors. Surrounded by mature trees and framed by historic stone walls, the property offers a rare combination of elegance, privacy, and a profound sense of place. Two decks overlook the broad, open lawn, creating an exceptional setting for outdoor entertaining, gatherings, or simply enjoying the peaceful grounds. Thoughtful improvements enhance the home's comfort and functionality, including four (4) Bosch mini-split air-conditioning units, an upgraded primary suite, new kitchen appliances, and a new 200-amp electrical panel. The residence is thoughtfully arranged across two wings. The principal wing encompasses the main living spaces, including the dining room, living room, library, kitchen, and breakfast area. The second wing provides private sleeping quarters and a spacious family room, offering an ideal separation between living and entertaining spaces.

For those seeking additional living space, the dry, open and clean walk-out basement has high ceilings with cement floors and walls, offering excellent potential for future finishing or an ideal workshop space. Rich in history, architectural integrity, and privacy, this is a truly special propertyan authentic piece of Old Americana with the character and presence of a distinguished country estate.
