The seller's father, an international sportsman, Pete Bostwick, purchased the property in the 1950s and connected the 2 shed row barns providing a covered perimeter track for the horses to walk around during poor weather. There are several ideal sites to build a spacious private residence or you may convert an existing structure to suit.
