Welcome to Owls Nest. Beyond the handcrafted stone walls and wooden gates adorned with silhouettes of owls lies a unique and special retreat. Sited on just under seven acres, with fields, meadows, and trails meandering through the woods, this home, grounds, and outbuildings have been curated into an exceptional experience in living well. The main house was originally built in 1851, and the best vestiges of the past remain in the hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, and stone fireplace. Updates were made with care and artistry, from the whimsical wallpaper and custom window treatments to pocket doors and bespoke tilework. Outside, a crushed shell wraparound driveway and expansive patios with detailed stonework are bordered by a lush landscape with native trees and specimen plantings. To one side of the house, a garage space has been converted into a studio ideal for making art or practicing yoga, with a loft above, and to the other side, a barn and fenced pasture neighbor the raised beds and garden space. An inground swimming pool takes advantage of the sunniest central location behind the house, while meadows and stone walls stretch out to the edges of the woods. Venture onto the extensive network of private trails to explore a cleared pine grove, steep hills, a cascading brook, and nearby ponds. For those seeking a tranquil life in an inspiring home among the mountain laurel and wildlife, the wait is over.
