Known as the "Gun" house by the historical society, it is said that this property was once an armory, which supplied weapons to the hill towns during the civil war. This home needs extensive renovations and is currently not in livable condition. It has no bathroom and no kitchen, but If you are looking for a historical property with an amazing old barn to bring back to life, this is a great opportunity. Extensive work has been done on the foundation of the house and on the barn. There is a well and a septic system with leach field, installed approx. 7 years ago (APO), but neither were ever hooked up to the house. With a solid foundation, post and beam structure, unfinished second floor, septic system, a well and an amazing old barn, this property would make a fantastic hobby farm for homesteaders. Bring your own contractor and your vision and bring this beauty back to life.
