For More Information: https://goo.gl/KeTp72 Cold Brook Farm is beautifully sited on 83± rolling and picturesque acres. This landmark property is situated in a premier location in the heart of the Essex Hunt country. The land is held in two contiguous parcels separated by Cold Brook Road. The main residence, an antique Colonial, is positioned on 40 acres of land with 38 of those acres held in farmland assessment. The adjacent 43-acre parcel has a conservation easement on a portion of the land and a trout brook. Views from both parcels are equally bucolic. The 40-acre parcel is accessible from two driveways off Cold Brook Road. In addition to the Colonial, the property also includes a three bedroom caretaker’s cottage, a three-story 1850s timber frame bank barn with four stalls and an office, a studio barn with an office, an equipment barn with a tool shed, a sheep barn and a fourth barn with covered storage for equipment and four stalls. The land is level and open, with gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside, which includes four fenced pastures and a one-acre pond. The main house is a rambling circa 1850 Colonial. Later additions in 1900 and 1940 expanded the original residence. Today, the spacious floor plan features fourteen rooms, including four bedrooms, four full and one half baths. The home’s rural origins and architectural particulars, including five fireplaces and wide plank pumpkin pine floors, have been preserved and represent Cold Brook Farm’s wonderful history. The first floor includes a lovely entry foyer, formal dining room and living room with an adjacent enclosed porch. In addition, the ground floor has a pine-paneled library, a country kitchen with a fireplace and breakfast area, a mud room/side porch, powder room and laundry. All of the home’s bedrooms are located on the second floor. Access to this level is provided from a gracious front staircase or a discrete back stairwell. The master bedroom features a dressing area, bathroom and a fireplace. Three other bedrooms, three full baths and an office complete this level. Two basements and a full attic offer ample unfinished storage space. In addition, the main house incorporates breathtaking outdoor spaces and accents including a charming winding brick front walk, a side-porch and garden, and a pool with views of the property. Gorgeous views of the pond, rolling pastures and countryside abound on this magical farm property.
