Property Description
Tucked along Hillsborough's most scenic road, this stunning single-story 1920s farmhouse offers a rare blend of historic character, artistic detail and peaceful living on 10 idyllic acres. Thoughtfully updated for modern comfort, the home feels warm, expansive and entirely distinctive. The entry sets the tone with exposed wood ceilings, brick floors and colorful art-glass windows that bring a subtle mid-century spirit to the home. Beyond, beamed ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors and a stone fireplace give the main living spaces a sense of warmth and architectural depth. The kitchen is designed for serious cooking and easy gathering, with solid wood cabinetry, a copper farmhouse sink, dramatic copper range hood, six-burner Thermador gas range with electric oven and a separate wall oven. Passive-solar brick flooring continues into the adjoining dining room, where a wall of windows overlooks the pond and a Buck wood-burning stove adds warmth and character. Built-in cabinetry, a generous window seat and abundant storage lend charm without sacrificing function, while a screened porch and multiple patios extend the living spaces into the surrounding landscape. Outside, native perennial gardens, layered stone walls and mature woods create a setting that feels private, peaceful and alive with nature. The pond is stocked with sunfish and bass and 131 species of birds have been identified on the property - the most in all of Orange County. The land is equally suited to equestrian or small-farm pursuits, with a fenced pasture, four-stall stable, chicken coop, barn and additional outbuildings. A converted detached garage provides separate studio and workshop spaces, offering exceptional flexibility for creative work, hobbies or storage. This is more than a home-it is a one-of-a-kind retreat shaped by history, craftsmanship and a deep connection to the land.
