Its impressive scale, scenic setting, and existing improvements provide a versatile foundation for a variety of income-producing possibilities, with the perfect balance of peaceful countryside seclusion and convenient accessibility for visitors, event guests, and customers. The P. A. Bowen farm is located on a tract known as "Purchase," first patented by Thomas Truman in 1665. Truman's original house now serves as the kitchen of the present house, which was built by the next owner, Philander A. Bowen, in the 1870s. This historic Italianate colonial manor house stands at the heart of the estate and encompasses approximately 5,500 square feet. Rich in character and architectural charm, the residence features timeless design elements, including multiple fireplaces, classic architectural details, and inviting living spaces overlooking sweeping pastoral landscapes. Period elements, warm wood accents, and traditional features reflect the home's historic legacy while providing comfortable spaces suited for modern living and entertaining. The thoughtful layout supports private residential use while also complementing the estate's potential for events, hospitality, or experiences. The estate includes additional buildings as-is. Beyond the residences, the property features a well-established farmstead with multiple agricultural buildings and infrastructure designed to support livestock and farming operations. Barns, working areas, and expansive open pastures provide an excellent foundation for continued agricultural use while also supporting opportunities for agritourism, equestrian pursuits, or event-based ventures. The diverse multi-species farm includes a prized mixed Jersey/Brown Swiss dairy herd, heritage breed pigs, pastured poultry, and a state-of-the-art raw milk cheesemaking facility, producing nationally recognized artisan cheeses. Rolling fields and scenic countryside create a breathtaking backdrop ideal for weddings, celebrations, and destination experiences. With substantial acreage and versatile land, the estate offers flexibility for farming, livestock operations, or other agricultural enterprises. Combined with its history, privacy, agriculture, and income-producing potential, this property lends itself to a truly unique estate, working farm, retreat property, or hospitality destination. P.A.
