The Property

The Mount Vernon Tavern – A Historic 3 Bedroom 2.5 Bath Colonial on 16.56 Acres! Rich in history, this impressive home once served as a bank, tavern, general store, and post office. Currently used as a small hobby farm, the impressive grounds present the perfect opportunity for a family compound, horse property, or raising livestock. Restored original front door, wide-plank pine hardwood floors, and six original fireplaces-a reminder of the rich history. The updated kitchen has new stainless steel appliances, soapstone, & granite countertops, with slider to the outside deck with pergola.

Historic first-floor rooms include the Keeping Room with its original fireplace and beehive oven, and the Tap Room, once a bar, doctor’s office, and general store. The “Ell” living room has exposed beams and high ceilings. Upstairs are 3 good sized bedrooms & 2 full baths. Outside is a custom predator safe chicken coop, two beehives, and Wellscroft fenced goat pen with run-in. The Barn has a floor and is currently used for equipment storage. Newer second driveway to the two large back pastures, one recently hayed with second cut round bales. The estate is framed by a 4-foot stone wall, complemented by hickory nuts, cherry trees, elderberries, grapes, Asian pears, raspberries, and various apple trees. A hidden gem, rich in history, set in such a gorgeous setting! Part of the Forest/Homestead Tax Program for tax reduction, transferable buyer. No local or deed restrictions for renovations.
