Property Description

Own a piece of American history. Welcome to Aspen Hill — a pre-Revolutionary home in a historic, equestrian-friendly setting. The main portion was built in 1750, twenty-six years before our independence, and is said to have served as a tavern and a hospital during the Civil War.*** A large addition was completed around 1990 using historically repurposed hardwoods, molding, and beams, so the character carries throughout. Original features include wide-plank pine floors, seven fireplaces, four original wooden staircases, 14-foot ceilings, bullseye molding, exposed brick, multiple built-ins, an under-floor room once used for hiding valuables, and an English basement with original brick, roman numeral beams, and a root cellar. Four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and over 3,500 square feet of living space.**** The home sits on a pristine 10-acre parcel with beautiful sunsets, mostly cleared for horses, with a large creek at the rear. Outbuildings include a four-stall center-aisle barn with tack and feed rooms, a hay shed, tool sheds, and a pole barn. Two reflection ponds and two brick patios complete the grounds.**** Recent improvements include a conventional septic system (2023), new electric panel, new HVAC, new hot water heater, five-zone oil furnace backup, Generac generator, new gutters, repointed and capped chimneys, and fresh exterior paint. The main-level bath was fully rebuilt with a copper soaking tub, Kohler fixtures, reclaimed wood from Kentucky racetracks, a new toilet, and a pedestal sink. Equestrian updates include all four stalls rebuilt with oak and stall pads, corrected barn drainage, a re-fenced and re-leveled riding ring, a newly cleared rear pasture with new electric fencing, and a hot wire added atop the existing board fencing. The pole barn has a new roof and siding!**** Unique, historic, and full of character — built to last, quietly updated, and made for entertaining or private tranquility.*** Schedule your private showing today!
