Description:
Rendez-Vous Farm offers the best of both worlds - a modern, expertly crafted barn complex for the professionally minded equestrian and an idyllic country retreat with 55 acres of breathtaking views, a 2-acre bass filled pond and five-bedroom farmhouse. Located in the town of Ashford, Connecticut, it is strategically located near Boston, Providence, Worcester, Springfield and Hartford within minutes of the University of Connecticut Storrs campus and Windham airport. Situated on a paved road, the property has 1,600 feet of frontage. A 20 wide paved driveway provides access to the riding facility and the home. A paved area around the riding facility provides easy access for horse trailers and ample parking. Curtain drains and swales were built into the design of the property so as to provide effective drainage throughout. The prestigious King Construction Company of Pennsylvania built the equestrian facility in 2004. Designed as a class A hunter/jumper riding facility, it has the dimension and quality of construction that are unmatched in the area. The overall facility consists of an 100 by 200 indoor riding arena and an adjoining barn facility of 130 by 72. Attached to the facility is a garage and jump storage area. The barn houses 26 (12 x 12) stalls, 4 wash stalls, 2 heated tack rooms, 2 washrooms (including a laundry room), a large blanket/storage room, a 12 by 24 viewing room, feed room and a full second floor hay storage area that has direct access to all 26 stalls below. The barn was made as bright and airy as possible. The indoor arena features 32 mercury lamps, 10 (8 by 12) roll-up glass windows and a 6wide band of eavelite panels along the ridge line providing maximum light into the riding facility. A dust control sprinkler system assures that the riding surface is always at its best. There are 4 paddocks and an exquisite fenced 100 by 200 sand rink that also features the highest quality footing. The 2003 southern Colonial-style farmho
