Hilltop horse property on 12.57 acres with sweeping views of the Adirondacks. This 12.57-acre parcel, with the house, barn, shed, and tiny cottage, is being sold with an additional building right. The property is adjacent to a 525-acre nature preserve so the north and west sides of this parcel borders protected land. The heart of the 5-bedroom home is a two-sided stone fireplace open to the living room on one side and the kitchen/dining area on the other. The living room has wood floors and a wood ceiling, with views down to the barn and mountains. The kitchen offers a large wood-top island and custom-built cabinets. A large, enclosed porch, finished in wood, is ideal for sunsets and sunny cool days. First floor: three bedrooms (two carpeted with ensuite half baths, one with wood floors) and a full bath. Second floor: two bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level has its own exterior entrance, a family room with concrete floor and Hearthstone woodstove, a laundry area, a small full bath, and an electric sauna. The tiny cottage needs work but offers flexible space for a studio, guest quarters, or other uses. The lawn slopes down to the renovated 5-stall barn, split-rail paddock, and small shed, with stone walls marking much of the property. Located .5miles from the Westport Preserve trail head, Split Rock Mountain Wild Forest, and other nearby hiking trails. Westport offers a marina, public boat launch, historic library, 18-hole championship golf course, Main Street shops, and an Amtrak station that also houses the Depot Theatre. About 1.5 hours to Burlington, VT, 1.75 hours to Montreal, and 2 hours to Albany. Deferred maintenance throughout; sold as-is. Tremendous potential.
