A rare 16-acre country property in Canterbury's Rural District - a private residence rich with timeless New England character, set on extraordinary grounds. The home pairs a 1934 original (stone foundation, knotty pine ceilings, deep farm-style kitchen) with a spacious 1989 addition featuring a double-sided fireplace, wide-plank floors, and a one-of-a-kind cut-out balustrade staircase. Configured with two residential units, it offers flexible living for an owner-occupant - live in one and enjoy the second as guest, family, or extended living space, or maintain the in-place tenancy. A separately permitted guest house (Section 10.1.5) provides additional owner-occupied flexibility for family, guests, or a home office; it is owner-occupied and not a year-round rental. The grounds are exceptional: two scenic ponds, a fenced paddock and open pasture, a versatile workshop with French doors, raised garden beds, a screened gazebo, a barn, and a collection of charming outbuildings. Currently home to horses, peacocks, and a duck. Recent updates include a new roof and chimney liner. Ideally suited to an owner-occupant seeking land, space, and a one-of-a-kind rural lifestyle - perfect for the equestrian or hobby-farm buyer. A truly singular offering you simply won't find twice.

A unique opportunity to own a piece of historic Mount Hope Farm! This property has been in the same family since 1927, once part of a substantial farm encompassing approximately 180 acres. Today, the 3.68-acre setting offers a character-filled antique farmhouse surrounded by mature trees, open lawn, wonderful gardening areas and a meandering brook. Enjoy meadow and farm views across Mount Hope Road from the rocking-chair wraparound porch, or walk across nearby Warrenville Road/Route 89 to the Mount Hope River for fishing and swimming. For buyers dreaming of a hobby farm or homestead, Mansfield zoning permits livestock and poultry subject to Town requirements, creating possibilities for horses, goats, chickens and more. The farmhouse has great bones and original character, with a newer roof and hot water heater, attached woodshed and one-car garage under with easy basement access. Repairs and improvements are needed, but many of the larger anticipated projects have already been investigated and/or priced. A large garage/barn offers additional utility but requires substantial work. Offered as-is; buyers to perform their own inspections and due diligence. A special opportunity to bring a longtime Mansfield farmstead into its next chapter.
