Broad Field Farm
Norfolk, Connecticut
Exclusive New Price: $2,350,000

This is a truly magical and serene spot.  A mostly renovated circa 1859 side hall Colonial sits with its barns on 100 gorgeous acres of land.  This parcel is the centerpiece of what once was a very large old farm. Remarkable southwesterly views, beautiful broad meadows, old stone walls, old trees, old barns, good bones and great potential for the future with a tweak to be done here and there.  All contents, with a few exceptions, are included in the sale.
