This 102± acre coastal estate in Ipswich is a working equestrian farm, family compound and income property. The opportunity to acquire a property of this scale and character rarely presents itself. The main entry driveway rises gradually between fenced pastures offering pastoral views along the way to the crest of the coastal drumlin at some 98+ feet where the c. 1911 Tudor Revival-style main house is beautifully sited. The five-bedroom home has been extensively renovated while preserving its history and character. There are panoramic views in every direction including ocean views from the third floor and views of Essex Bay from the second floor and seasonally from the first floor. A wrap around terrace is perfect for outdoor entertaining and taking in the long views. The grounds are absolutely stunning, with English gardens, an alee defined by stone walls and peonies, a tea house, a swimming pool, pergola shaded patio and a lawn area suitable for tennis, badminton, croquet or any game your family loves. The land is comprised of a mix of open meadows, fenced pasture, paddocks, lawns, gardens, woodlands, extensive tidal creek frontage, salt marsh, riding trails and paved driveways. In addition to the main house the offering includes: a second single family home with four bedrooms; four, 2-bedroom rental units divided between two houses which were completely renovated in 2007; a 1-bedroom barn apartment; an 11-stall stable; a 66’x164' indoor riding arena; two fenced tennis courts; and, deeded rights to a nearby tidal dock and float on the Castle Neck River. A conservation restriction on 83.93± acres is held by The Essex County Greenbelt ensuring that this exceptional farm will remain unspoiled while allowing for continued residential, agricultural and recreational use for the next owners.
