Near the top of Baldpate Mountain, in a picturesque hollow blessed with numerous springs, a long driveway edged by fenced paddocks opens to Longspring Farm, a homestead of historical significance on 36 acres.  First settled in the mid-eighteenth century and expanded in the Greek Revival style, the farmhouse is gracious and inviting.  The home’s original paneled door opens into the lovely formal living room with richly detailed trims, stately fireplace and random width pumpkin pine floors.  The library boasts exposed beams, two walls of built-in library shelves with cabinetry below, a quaint window seat and wet bar and offers a quiet reading or inviting entertaining venue.  The period architecture in the dining room is enhanced by the beautifully detailed fireplace flanked by a cupboard with butterfly shelves and paneled doors.  The original eighteenth century great room opens into an expansive eat-in kitchen with chef’s grade stainless appliances, beamed ceiling, honey-toned pine floors and glass paned cabinetry.  An additional room with well-crafted built-in cabinetry can be used as a study or bedroom.  Five more lovely bedrooms grace the second floor; one with stone fireplace and exposed rafters.  The master bedroom has a wall of deep closets with large drawers below.  On the property there are 10 fenced paddocks, an 80’x 200’ riding arena and two nineteenth century barns equipped with 15 stalls.  Close to Route I-95, Longspring Farm has easy access to some of the most desired equestrian destinations.  In addition, the farm is surrounded by protected open space with over 1300 acres of trails for horseback riding, hiking, or bird-watching.  With inspiring views inside and out, this is a country home where dreams come true.
