Placidia Farm - a serene and scenic estate with well-cared-for buildings and grounds. The finely detailed log home offers many opportunities, with a one-bedroom apartment and a generous workshop. The 1965 log home has been meticulously cared for during the owner's tenure, which began in 1977. The owners added many fine details such as baseboards to hide electric wiring, closets featuring custom storage, and carefully profiled moldings. The main floor of the home includes a tiled mudroom, full bath, large laundry room, eat-in kitchen, living room with a large stone chimney for the woodstove and a large sunroom. Details include oak cabinetry, wide pine flooring and numerous windows. Upstairs are two bedrooms with large closets, a half bath and an office. The lower-level apartment has its own entrance and includes a living room with a wood stove hook-up, a kitchen, a full bath and a bedroom. Through the back of the 2-car attached garage is the workshop with a wood stove and a picture window with property views. Below is a full, dry basement. Outside are perennial beds, extensive stone walls, and a private patio looking out over the property. The rest of the acreage includes 12 acres of field and 57 acres of forest. The terrain is gentle-to-moderate slopes. The fields have been kept open on an annual basis. Flint Brook is a year-round stream that runs rapidly during wet seasons. On the other side of the brook is a hillside of forest, including hardwood and softwood species.
