Property Description
This original Bull Valley homestead was built in 1877. The land was deeded as a wedding present by Bull Valley resident Rufus Brown to his oldest daughter, Luella, prior to her marriage to Frank Kimball. The compound includes the original barn (1885), corn crib (1913), milk house (1921) and heated workshop/office/studio (circa 1930) with working school bell. The original farmhouse was expanded in the 1970's and has been lovingly attended to by everyone who has lived here. The home provides beautiful views from every window. The five-acre property includes a one-acre pine forest, meadow with fieldstone firepit, vegetable garden with raised beds set in chipped bluestone, a perennial garden with over 30 varieties of flowers that bloom continuously from April through October, shade garden and tranquil walking paths. Over 20 varieties of birds visit or nest on the property. Explore the property's ever-changing landscape through the seasons. Enjoy meals in the screened in porch overlooking the flower garden. Own one of the last original examples of Bull Valley history. Barn currently used as garage, corn crib could easily be converted to stalls, school house is currently studio. Simply an amazing property with country charm. One of a Kind, this is the home you are looking for.
