Picture a majestic historical gem yearning for restoration, the Circa 1840 Cobblestone Mansion. Occupying a sprawling 16-acre high and dry estate, previously admired for its abundant garden produce, this grandiose abode commands attention. With a generous six bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this homestead exudes expansive luxury while also offering additional attics for storage or potential living space enhancements. A voluminous basement complements the grand aura, its towering ceilings ready for imaginative transformations. Don’t forget the hefty 3-story barn on site, boasting six 12 x 12 horse stalls and one 12x22 foaling stall, readily convertible to twin stalls. A vast 2 1/2 mile groomed horseback riding or hiking trail runs alongside the scenic Chenango Canal directly across the road. This trail is communal, offering a bonus to equestrian and nature enthusiasts alike. Additional outdoor amenities include a superb kennel, featuring a heavy-duty chain-link fence standing at 8 feet high, and an extra-large auxiliary building within this pen functioning as a run in/out facility for dogs. Not to be missed is the large "antique hops barn" eagerly awaiting repair - a unique element to this robust estate. This once-thriving estate, previously operating as a B&B, is a fantastic opportunity for those looking to experience true historical elegance. Despite the unfortunate fire damage that has affected parts of the home, two engineer reports from an insurance company confirm the structural soundness of the building. The restoration journey envisages a fresh makeover for the kitchen, mudroom, an upstairs bedroom, and two bathrooms along with general interior painting and cleanup. Surrender to the intriguing blend of historical sophistication, scenic beauty, and abundant potential that this compelling Circa 1840 Cobblestone Mansion promises. The ideal setting to reinvent, refurbish and reinvigorate a slice of history into a dream home.
