Welcome to this historical farmhouse in Silver Lake Madison. The property has been cared for by only two families across roughly 120 years! This offering comprises three lots of record totaling over 10 acres with open fields, direct water access to Deer River leading to Silver Lake, and snowmobile trails that will get you all the way to Canada right from your front door! A part of the old barn has been converted into a gorgeous sunroom that overlooks an open field. This cozy spot is complete with a wet-bar that makes morning coffee convenient and a gas-log stove to stay toasty warm while watching the snow fall in the winter months. The first floor also features a bedroom next to the sunroom, a large living room that flows into a library and then into a study with a bay window. Upstairs, accessed by two separate staircases, you'll find four additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an impressive 14' x 42' billiard room. A classic wraparound farmer's porch spans the front of the home, providing another peaceful place to enjoy the surroundings and leading directly to the attached two-car garage. There is also a whole house generator. Across the street, two additional lots enhance the property's recreational appeal. One provides a convenient launch point for kayaks and canoes into Deer River, which meanders beneath the historic railroad trestle before opening into Silver Lake. The second lot abuts the former railroad corridor, offering easy access to a short walk that leads to two town-owned sandy beaches on Silver Lake. Both beaches are less than a 10-minute walk from the house. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Silver Lake history with acreage, water access, and timeless New England charm.
