Wellspring Farm is an exceptional equestrian property with an exquisitely crafted 4,591 sqft residence on CETA trails. It comprises 13.46 gently sloping acres of fenced paddocks, a run-in shelter, and a 100 x 240 riding ring. The 63x39 stable is a center aisle, 6-stall affair with a wash stall, tack, feed room, and garage for farm implements. It includes a lovely 1,000 sqft apartment. There is a separate 2,250 sqft workshop. The residence overlooks the pastures and riding ring, with distant views. The principle “rooms” blend in an open concept, with each space cleverly defined by the contrasting geometry and height of its ceiling. A floor-to-ceiling stone-faced fireplace adds grandeur to the living room. Five stars for a fabulous kitchen with the highest quality appliances. A spacious primary suite spans the entire western end of the main level, opening onto a covered verandah. There are two bedrooms, two baths, a family room, and a spacious office/fitness room on the lower level.
