Property Description
One-of-a-kind log homestead built in 1999 by the current owners using techniques reminiscent of early American settlers. The logs were harvested from the property and hand-stripped with draw knives, while the beams were shaped using traditional hewing axes. Stone for the fireplaces and stone walls was hand-selected from the land, creating a home deeply connected to its surroundings. Nearly every detail has a story. The granite used for the kitchen fireplace and front entrance step was salvaged from the foundation of Nathan Hale's sister's home. Beautiful handcrafted doors and custom cabinetry can be found throughout, accented by authentic antique strap-and-pintle hinges dating to the early 1800s. Even the fencing is traditional hand-split rail. The impressive barn/garage was carefully dismantled and reconstructed from two antique Connecticut barns. The three-bay section features chestnut and spruce timbers from a late-1800s Manchester barn, while the two-bay section showcases hand-hewn chestnut and oak timbers from a late-1700s Putnam barn. This extraordinary property is a testament to craftsmanship, dedication, and vision-a rare opportunity to own a home where every beam, stone, and detail reflects generations of history and countless hours of labor and love. Conveniently located just 20 minutes from Hartford, yet less than 5 minutes from Nathan Hale State Forest, the East Coast Greenway Trail, and the Hop River, known for its stocked fishing waters. A remarkable homestead.
