A rare 16-acre country estate in Canterbury's Rural District - private, pastoral, and rich with New England character, set among two scenic ponds, open meadow, and mature woodland. The residence pairs a 1934 original - stone foundation, knotty pine ceilings, deep farm-style kitchen - with a spacious 1989 addition featuring a double-sided stone fireplace, wide-plank floors, and a one-of-a-kind cut-out balustrade staircase. Five bedrooms and three full baths offer comfortable, flexible living, with additional flex rooms ideal for a home office or studio. A separately permitted guest house - the property's former general store - provides charming space for family or guests. The grounds are extraordinary: multiple horse stalls and pens with a detached chicken coop, fenced paddock and open pasture ready for horses, a versatile workshop, a screened gazebo at the pond's edge, raised garden beds, and a collection of character outbuildings. Recent updates include a new roof and chimney liner. The RD zone supports agricultural and home-based business uses - a true canvas for an equestrian, hobby-farm, or rural lifestyle, with established roadside signage in place should the former shop use be reactivated. A singular opportunity to own a private working compound with timeless charm. Property is currently tenant-occupied; please see agent remarks regarding showings and lease status.
