Property Description

This enchanting1890s farmhouse, situated on 37 acres of pure magic, boasts a picturesque rural setting with views of meadows, majestic woods, bluestone terrace, natural swimming pond, and captivating rock walls encircling the property. Every step unveils a new perspective, akin to stepping into a living painting, all within a short drive to Stone Ridge's heart. It is rare to find this amount of private and possibly sub-dividable land in such close proximity to Stone Ridge. Originally constructed in 1890, the residence seamlessly integrated a 2001 addition. In 2011, the current owners further renovated the house with high end fixtures, appliances, and bespoke, custom-designed details that harmoniously merge old-world charm with modern elegance, paying homage to the house's rich history. The first level offers versatile living and entertaining spaces, featuring a chef's kitchen complete with both AGA and Wolf ranges. Past the dining room, the new wing of the house opens onto a sunlit great room with a Rumford fireplace and doors leading to an expansive veranda. An office/den provides a tucked-away retreat. Downstairs there is a bonus room ideal for movie watching or a playroom. Two stairways, front and back, lead to the second floor. The main bedroom showcases Venetian plaster walls, a second fireplace and balcony overlooking the expansive grounds. The en suite primary bathroom renovation spared no expense, from the Agape soaking tub to the nautilus shell-inspired shower clad with Bisazza mosaic tile. The additional bedrooms in the original part of the house showcase built-in nooks and storage closets, antique flooring and custom milled moulding. An adjacent bathroom features imported English plumbing fixtures, a soaking tub and salvaged tiles from the Netherlands. Across the lawn is a former horse barn with original stables. Upstairs, the barn includes a painting studio that features a double-height, north-facing window. The lower half of the barn has radiant heated concrete floors and French doors opening onto a bluestone patio. This space was once used as a studio for jewelry making and metalsmith. This unique property allows flexibility for a swimming pool and plenty of room to configure a guest house. Mary's Lane epitomizes elegant country living, seamlessly blending history, luxury, and natural beauty.
