A Rare Blend of History, Nature, and Homestead Living | 3-4 bedrooms | 2,412 sq. ft. | Step back in time into a lifestyle of peace, privacy, and possibility with this charming 3–4 bedroom farmhouse built in 1877. Nestled on five tranquil acres of countryside and just steps from the historic New Lyme Institute (later the Deming School), the house was designed by architect RL Forman—who not only lived in the home but served as the Institute’s professor of architecture. This unique property blends historic significance with natural beauty and timeless character, while offering the perfect setting for homesteaders, hobby farmers, nature lovers, or anyone seeking a peaceful rural retreat. Detached two car garage with extra room for storage and an upstairs bonus room to boot! Brimming with potential, this grand residence features original hardwood floors, classic moldings, and soaring 10-foot ceilings. A true blank canvas, it offers the perfect opportunity to infuse your personal style or restore it to its timeless elegance. Bring your vision—and your tool belt—and make this beauty shine once again. Home Highlights: Charming 2,412 sq. ft. of inviting, flexible living space with cozy farmhouse charm throughout, offering spacious living & endless possibilities. Ample homestead-style kitchen with pantry—ideal for canning, baking, and family gatherings, with plenty of room for a harvest table. Oversized Living Room with original bay window—perfect for a cozy reading chair or settee. Large Dining Room—great for cozy meals with family and friends. Expansive Master Bedroom—spacious enough for a king-size bed plus sitting area. 3–4 Bedrooms including a possible first-floor bedroom or perhaps a home office, music room, or library. Additional flexible first-floor room—great for homeschooling, sewing, or crafting. Warm farmhouse character throughout the home. Mowed trails, two ponds and lots of area for gardening
