Imagine a private 70 acre family compound, situated serenely at the end of a long tree-lined drive. At first glance, the main house sits quietly in the midst of sweeping lawns, stone walls, perennial gardens and gentle fields lending to woodland trails in all directions. Century old trees grace the landscape giving the setting its park-like sentiment. Two vintage barns serve as outbuildings. One with greenhouse and vegetable gardens, the other offering shelter and a most attractive backdrop for the pool and gardens reminiscent of Provence. Cedar Creek's compound nestles alongside a noted trout stream offering great fishing, hunting, hiking and swimming.
The Main Residence: The 1850's Center Hall farmhouse has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, maintaining the flavor of its original architecture. The creative addition of a broad balcony and covered porches reflect the soul of a waterfront farm. From the gracious entry throughout the formal and informal living rooms, dining room, sunroom, studies, playroom, four guest bedrooms and generous master suite, family is clearly the focus of this comfortably appointed home. Cedar Creek is fully equipped to meet an active family's needs with multiple fireplaces to warm in the winter, huge bootroom to house gear and dogs, a generator for full back up electric service, central air-conditioning for hot summer days and even a room to house your outdoor plants in winter.
The Guesthouse: Privately situated from the main residence nestled in its own park like setting is a newly renovated and updated three bedroom guesthouse with dining room, living room with fireplace, central air-conditioning and study with fully equipped state of the art technology and communications including a T-1 internet connection for video conferencing and a fiber optic link to the main residence.
