| Viewing the aerial shot of FDR Farm, you'll see an impeccable, extraordinarily
maintained, 20-acre equestrian facility . Perhaps the words "dramatically
serene" best describe this very special property in a very quiet, private area
surrounded by gorgeous trees and stonewalls. The 12-stall barn is simply
incredible and offers a laundry room, both fly spray and ventilation systems, an intercom
system with 4 monitors for the foaling stalls and screens on all windows and doors. A
viewing room with its own kitchenette and bath looks into the120x72 indoor arena. Other
amenities include a tack room, wash stall, hot and cold running water. Radiant heat
in the floors keep the barn warm; the barn's total heating bill is $1800. Additional
features include a grain and hay drop room, a security system for all outside doors and a
fire alarm. All paddock fencing is white vinyl 4 and 3 rail with 15 foot buffers
between paddocks. The 120x220 clay outdoor arena is extremely versatile. An extensive
trail system suitable for both riding and driving abuts the 14 acre property (possibility
of 6 additional open acres). Oak-lined run-in sheds at the back of the property
complete this fabulous equine heaven!
Adjoining the indoor arena and integrated atop the immaculate barn is a wonderfully
dramatic 4000sf custom design home with all custom cherry cabinets, woodwork,doors and
wide pine square nailed floors. The floorplan flows; in the 38x38 kitchen/family room sits
a wood stove with a granite mantel. Cherry cabinets, 2 sinks, a walk-in pantry and
an oversized island with seating create a delightful kitchen that abuts the dining area
overlooking the deck and white fenced pastures. The master bedroom offers a huge
master bath with whirlpool, cherry linen cabinets and features built-in window seats and a
walk-in closet. Combining the living and dining rooms into one large space with a paddock
view allows the owners to visually bring their horses into their home. Another
bedroom off the family room area is currently a den with its own bath. The two
balconies above the living/dining/family room are versatile and could be used as a guest
bedroom with a sitting room and the second loft as a study. Access to the garage is via
stairs or the handicapped accessible elevator. |
