Attached to the guest house is the original two-story barn with a unique garage featuring full height glass doors on either end of the high-ceilinged space. For equestrians, the property offers a large barn with four horse stalls and paddocks on either side of browning road, as well as endless riding trails in the woods. And for writers seeking inspiration, there is a charming cabin waiting to be restored into a world-class writer's retreat.
