JEFFERSON – This marvelous waterfront equestrian estate, Fieldstone Farm, isn’t merely “on” the east shore of Travel Pond. With 1,300 feet on the pond, it practically is the shoreline.
There are only a handful of homes on the essentially private, 102-acre pond. This property’s recreational amenities include a boat launch, a strip of sandy beach, and a waterside fire pit.
And then there are Fieldstone’s equine facilities: an indoor riding arena; an eight-stall barn with tack room; two smaller, three-stall barns; multiple paddocks, and miles of trails. Fieldstone is one of the state’s very few such farms to be recognized as a Horse Farm of Merit by the Maine Farm Bureau. Criteria include “high standards for overall horse health, farm management, and public standards of compliance of public safety.”
Able to accommodate 14 horses, the farm has excellent business possibilities, both for boarding, and for establishing a equine day camp on the water.
And the shingles-and-stone, nine-room, three-bedroom, three-bathroom house? It’s a scrupulously maintained and updated, 3,800-square foot custom post-and-beam home with many highlights, and rich in natural materials. The great room features a massive floor-to-ceiling fieldstone fireplace with bluestone hearth (yes, the stone is from the property); the cook’s kitchen’s surfaces are honed Deer Isle granite; floors are southern yellow pine.
There’s a glorious, tiled, four-season sunroom, 23 feet across beneath its cathedral ceiling. Upstairs, the huge master suite has a wing to itself, with a daylight walk-in closet and an elegant bath with sleigh-style clawfoot tub in a cool stone surround.
The home at 24 Cassella Drive, Jefferson, is listed for sale by Lori Lombardo and Joel Alexander of Better Homes & Gardens The Masiello Group (Augusta office) and is being shown by appointment.
