Description

A rare 16-acre country compound in Canterbury's Rural District - equal parts income, agriculture, and timeless New England character. The two-family home pairs a 1934 original (stone foundation, knotty pine ceilings, deep farm-style kitchen) with a spacious 1989 addition featuring a double-sided fireplace, wide-plank floors, and a one-of-a-kind cut-out balustrade staircase. The property generates $46, 500 in current annual gross income from in-place leases across the duplex and barn. A separately permitted guest house (the former general store, Section 10.1.5) offers wonderful owner-occupied flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. The grounds are extraordinary: two scenic ponds - one mirroring the barn, the other beside a screened gazebo - plus fenced paddock and open pasture under an active agricultural lease, a versatile workshop with French doors, raised garden beds, and a collection of charming outbuildings. Currently home to horses, peacocks, and a duck. Recent updates include a new roof and chimney liner. Ideal for an owner-occupant seeking land, lifestyle, and meaningful offsetting income - perfectly suited to the equestrian, hobby-farm, or rural lifestyle buyer. Cash or portfolio financing best fits the in-place lease run-off. A truly singular offering you simply won't find twice., The two-family is configured as Unit 189A (1, 564 SF - three bedrooms, one bath, leased as two separate tenancies) and Unit 189B (1, 172 SF - two bedrooms, two baths, single lease). All residential leases run through late 2026 / early 2027, providing immediate in-place income while a new owner settles in; each unit has its own electric meter with tenants paying their own electricity, and water is served by a private drilled well. Heating is oil-fired hot air in 189B and electric baseboard with a mini-split in 189A. The barn carries an ongoing agricultural lease and includes multiple horse stalls and pens, a central hall, tack room, and loft, with separate septic and a shallow well pump serving the barn. Three septic systems serve the property. The RD (Rural Development) zone supports a wide range of agricultural and home-based business uses, making this an exceptional canvas for a small farm, equestrian operation, or rural enterprise. Established roadside signage is in place - a valuable asset should the former general store/shop use be reactivated.
