Open House 7/16/17 51 Summit Street, Essex

Welcome to Lord Pond Farm - a bit of heaven! Just minutes from Ivoryton Village, this treasure is tucked away on 32.98 bucolic rolling green acres abutting Bushy Hill Nature Center. The focal point is a tranquil private pond offering year-round beauty and enjoyment. Spend a quiet day fishing, kayaking or a friendly game of ice hockey with your closest friends, whatever your pleasure - you have it here. To capture the gorgeous view and serenity of the surroundings, owners built a Vermont Timber Frame home. Timber framing offers the look of a conventional-style home, with the unmatched beauty and warmth of exposed wood and beams on the inside, giving you a look that is second to none. The open plan living maximizes natural light and spacious feel but offers cozy snug spaces to relax. The maintenance free Standing Seam roof gives you a sleek look while providing great protection and durability. To complete the package, there are barns. One close to the house is the perfect spot for a craftsman or mechanic with two garage bays. Other barn offers two stalls for horses and fenced level area for grazing. The list goes on and on (finished lower level, mudroom, 1st-floor office), but see for yourself. It's not just the view; it's the vision of living!
