A rare and storied offering, the Colonel Dwight Wellington Pierce Farmstead is a distinguished circa 1830 Greek Revival residence listed on the State Register of Historic Places. Set on a rise with views of surrounding mountains, conserved land, and state forest, the property offers an extraordinary blend of heritage, natural beauty, and modern comfort.
The main house spans over 4,300 square feet and retains its original antique moldings, wide-plank floors, and five working fireplaces with antique mantels. The home offers six bedrooms, including one on the main floor with an adjacent full bath, and five on the second floor. The spacious primary suite features a fireplace, radiant-heated ensuite bath with limestone-tiled finishes, and an oversized walk-in closet.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, with exposed beams, custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, and top-tier appliances. The adjacent sunroom opens to a stone patio overlooking extensive gardens and grounds. Additional first-floor rooms include a formal dining room, living room, library, pantry, and a mudroom with brick floors and a farmhouse sink.
The second floor features four additional guest bedrooms, a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a charming laundry room with a deep porcelain sink and ample storage. Throughout the home, natural light and historic detail are in perfect balance with modern systems and comforts, including fiber-optic cable and an alarm system.
Complementing the residence are three historic outbuildings. The original dairy barn measures 70 feet by 30 feet and offers vast potential. The studio barn, measuring 60 feet by 24 feet, is heated and finished with tiled and wood floors, and a concrete basement, making it ideal for creative work or expanded living. The carriage barn serves as a two-car garage with three horse stalls and a loft above.
The grounds are a showpiece unto themselves, with extensive, award-winning and published gardens, mature peach, pear, and apple trees, stone walls, a tranquil pond, and full metal deer fencing enclosing the landscape. A stone patio offers the perfect vantage point for enjoying the serene views and connection to nature.
This exceptional property is a rare convergence of history, architecture, and pastoral beauty, offering a true sense of place in the heart of the countryside.
