Nestled amidst rolling fields of the legendary Ledyard Farm, is a timeless New England farmhouse. It stands proudly, its roots tracing back to 1850, a testament to the rich history of the land. With its classic white facade and wide pine floors, the home whispers of a bygone era, while every corner shimmers with the delicate touch of newly renovated modern luxury.
Set on 1.88 acres of manicured grounds, the farmhouse offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside and pool, blending perfectly into the lush greenery of the 170+ acres of protected farmland that lay beyond. Privacy is a given, but so too is the serene connection to nature, making it feel as though time itself has slowed in idyllic Wenham, Massachusetts.
The main house, an expansive 5,500 square feet, boasts 3 spacious bedrooms and 3-and-a-half baths. Each bath seems plucked from the pages of a magazine, yet still honors its history. The kitchen, heart of the home, offers the same delicate balance – with wood beams and exposed brick paired effortlessly with gleaming new fixtures. Its modern design, replete with high-end appliances, gleams beneath the warmth of soft lighting, inviting family and friends to gather around. The two gas fireplaces in the dining-living areas add even more warmth, wrapping the home in an intimate, cozy atmosphere. Just off the living area a main floor library welcomes with a gas fireplace and full bath.
Outside, this property is nothing short of an estate. The sprawling lawn gives way to a traditional horse barn and paddock area, hinting at the deep equestrian roots of the land. Nearby, the in-ground pool shimmers, offering a cool respite on warm summer days, while a farmers porch overlooks the bluestone patio – a perfect spot for quiet evenings under the stars.
Yet, the home offers even more. An attached five-room carriage house above the barn with exposed beams provides both comfort and privacy for guests or as an apartment setting. Features 1.5 baths (one ensuite) plus a wood burning stove in the living area. A heated, four-car garage and an exercise studio hint at modern luxuries, ensuring no convenience is sacrificed.
Wenham itself, known for its tree-lined roads and sprawling farmland, embraces the best of both worlds: a quiet, rural charm with easy access to the North Shores beaches and amenities. Commuter routes and rail lines are close, yet 25 miles from Boston.
