History: The present owner, an engineer, of Austrian origin, was partially motivated by his love for horses, when, after much research and many miles of driving, he chose to purchase this property in 1969. He also saw in it, its captivating beauty with its hills, ravines, streams and views. Having been a boy during WWII in Europe, he had developed a great appreciation for self-sufficiency, which can only be found on farmland such as this. His obsession with perfection can be seen at every turn, while his innate respect for things past was key in his desire to preserve the original farmhouse. It is indeed a wondrous place with unlimited potential that offers a sense of comfort, tranquility and security.
