Property description
Some homes are about the house. This one is about the life that comes with it. Across 8.33 acres in Oakham, open fields are nestled among beautiful mixed deciduous woodland of maple, oak, birch and ash. Fenced green fields offer room for horseback riding, while paddocks and fenced areas give horses space to roam. The barn is ready for the rhythm of everyday horse life with three stalls, a hay loft, a convenient feed room, and workshop, complemented by a detached two-bay garage/outbuilding with sliding barn-style doors. Three pear trees and a greenhouse add to the homestead possibilities, while wooded acreage and a private pond tucked out back give you even more to explore. Three wood stoves and a newly installed medium-sized outdoor wood boiler offer the ability to heat the home and hot water using the plentiful hardwood on the property. At the center of it all, the three-bedroom Cape is full of country character with hardwood floors throughout, exposed brick, built-ins and a farmhouse-inspired kitchen. A covered porch and sprawling deck create plenty of space to slow down and take in the setting. Bordered on three sides by Massachusetts Wildlife Management Area, the property also offers direct trail access through a gate at the back corner. Whether your dream is horses at home, gardens growing, animals to care for, or simply more land and freedom, this is a place where that life can take shape!
