The approach to The Grey Arrow feels almost cinematic. An 800-foot tree-lined drive leads to a Civil War-era farmhouse, its presence both commanding and welcoming. For five generations, this homestead has been a place of memory and stewardship. Under its current owners, it has been thoughtfully reborn–its history preserved, its comforts elevated, its spirit transformed into a modern sanctuary.

Inside, the foyer introduces the home’s character with Helderberg bluestone etched in arrowhead motifs. Beyond it, light-filled rooms open where wide-plank pine floors run beneath tall windows and two Rumford fireplaces anchor the living spaces with warmth and intention. The kitchen blends rustic authenticity with contemporary luxury: original 1850s beams, reclaimed-wood cabinetry, quartz countertops, and GE Café appliances that make daily rituals feel indulgent. A gas stove with indoor grill, hands-free faucet, and instant-hot sink at the coffee and tea bar elevate everyday living. Behind a hidden door, an expansive butler’s pantry offers quiet order.

The home unfolds in wings. The primary suite is a restorative retreat with a soaking tub, tiled shower, fog-free LED mirrors, and WiFi-enabled NuTone speakers. The guest wing, connected discreetly, offers comfort and privacy. Every bathroom has been fully renovated with intention.

Beyond the main house, a 500-square-foot guest studio with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and a renovated bath offers endless possibility–an artist’s loft, recording space, office, or serene guest quarters. Four hand-hewn barns from 1850-1910 stand ready for reinvention or preservation.

The land itself is a defining character. 113 acres of meadows, gardens, forest, and trails invite exploration. A spring-fed pond mirrors the sky. Riverstone hardscaping and heirloom gardens frame moments of stillness. Mornings begin slowly on the bluestone patio; evenings stretch long with painted sunsets and firelight under the stars.
